We took the folks over to the Taj one afternoon mid-May to review the newly opened Nonya over dinner. I had found out about the venue on socials ; apparently it had ‘Malaysian and Singaporean influences’. Possibly the first time I’ve seen a fine dining joint specifically mention this in their social blurp. We got […]

I’m happy to say that we’ve found a reasonably priced yum cha experience, close enough to what I’ll call authentic. Still not perfect…. but close enough. Some restaurants try to do its best, but without the pork factor, you can never really bring out the authenticity of yum cha. That’s me looking at a lot […]

Our relationship with this place has had its ups and downs over the last few years. I’ve lost count how many times we’ve been back here, sometimes with groups of friends, with family, and the occasional schoolnight date – just the two of us 🙂 I waited a long time to do a proper post […]

Aiyo. *Palm to forehead* Dilemma. I really like Fairmont. We’ve stayed there twice now. It is a beautiful hotel on the Palm, with gorgeous views of the marina. Their breakfast spread is great, service had been in our past experience top-notch and it’s just one of those hotels I will recommend you stay in. Their […]

Entertainer Fine Dining doesn’t actually have too many bubbly brunch options. Good thing is, the website sometimes gives you Member Offers and we just so happened to see Beachcombers being one of the few on promotion. Yippee!

Random school night. Didn’t know where to go. Opened up the HSBC Entertainer Book and the few places that we could possibly get on the GPS (without getting lost driving all over Dubai) was Jumeirah Beach Hotel. So we thought – why not? Ha! Beachcombers has a Pan-asian Buffet Theme every Wednesday night. It’s all-you-can-eat […]

Hmm. Saffron if you’re reading this I’m very sorry for what I’m about to say. Just an amateur review from a newbie in Dubai. (Please scroll down for a 2013 update on Saffron 😉 ) Well we went here on a Friday night few weeks ago now. I had high expectations, as this was going […]
