Restaurants. Hotels. Experiences
Afternoon tea is a tradition that mum and I do – whenever she’s here. As such, I would actually say we have done most of the Afternoon Teas in Dubai, particularly those that were in the Entertainer. Past tense, because as we all know, most venues are (sadly) no longer part of the program. Whilst […]

With so many new restaurants replacing old ones in Mall of the Emirates – I wasn’t too sure where to bring the folks for lunch. Had a browse on the Entertainer App and noticed that there’s a new(ish) cafe that was in THAT Concept Store. Yes the store name is in caps, I’m not shouting. […]

September 2023 Update : Please note that Mango Tree Thai Bistro is currently closed. We returned with the family on a Wednesday night to review the BBQ Night at Mango Tree Thai Bistro. This was early May, and surprisingly it was so nice and cool to sit outside in their terrace. For one evening, we […]

As I type, I notice that the red Hideout wristband is still on. My head hurts. Evening brunch at The Hideout was good fun. We used to go to that same location in the Marina Byblos many years ago when it was Societe (click here). Ah… those days, feels like a distant memory now 🙂 […]

I’ve been meaning to write about Leten since our first visit back in January with mum. It’s one of those places that you add to the ‘to-blog’ list but then get busy. It’s reasonably priced and good so you go back again for the second, third, fourth, fifth time. I think if I put the […]

Here’s one for those who’s looking for a party atmosphere type of brunch, with good japanese food 🙂 It’s the last Friday for March so you would probably have missed out on the 241 deal the Entertainer was offering for their Disco Sushi Brunch, but hey, you never know when they’ll choose to join in […]

This I’ll say. It’s pretty, it’s very pretty. We had a great time. However, food was just – alright. Here’s a detailed take on what we got for 200AED (for two, with the Entertainer 😉 )

I woke up early on Thursday morning, eventhough I had taken the day off work. Last day with mum before she flies home! Rang a few hotels that served breakfast and was in the Entertainer and most don’t accept vouchers for their brekky deals. Finally found one – Ala Turca in Rixos The Palm. Yay! 🙂 […]

I stumbled upon an article which basically explains how much it costs to be a socialite in Dubai. One says it will cost about AED40k put into partying and dining out. That is a ridiculous amount of money. I am thankful that we, and the friends that we’ve been blessed with in Dubai (*waves*!), are similar to […]

Read MoreThe Thursday Asian Tapas Supper in Umai, The Oberoi is in the Entertainer Monthly Offers this month. Woohoo! 🙂 I googled and although there were various write-ups on the food served, I couldn’t find the most important thing – the price of the drinks package 😀 So here’s a prepost, for those who were like me, wondering […]
Read MoreSo I decided to take mum to The Beach…. since she’s never been there before after it has opened 🙂 It was a gruelling 38 degrees, as we parked our car in front of Al Fattan towers and wandered pass the Hilton onto The Beach. Started to sweat already and mum’s mood was going from […]

Dear John, I would like to apologize again for my friend, who really needs to be controlled when taken out to public. He is getting married next week so that might explain the inappropriate behaviour. Nonetheless, we are very grateful for your excellent attitude last night, and for taking care of us 🙂 Yours sincerely, The […]
Read MoreSo gutted we didn’t even take out our camera last night. Probably cause we were enjoying the food so much. G and I reckons that thus far Shanghai Chic is one of the better chinese restaurants found in hotels, i.e authentic food and value for money. Group of 7 went to try the CNY special last […]

SZR Emirates Towers looks pretty mean in here, doesn’t it. Gorgeous views from the 49th floor of Radisson Royal Hotel, SZR. I’m not too sure what’s going on with the stream of light above the Burj – I can assure you there was no hovering spacecraft above the 828m of steel and concrete structural wonder last […]
Read MoreNot many places do lunches. I had a few stray Entertainer vouchers at home in the weekend and I started to call to book and most said they only opened for dinner. Stinky. Observatory, a short stroll from us was fortunately open for lunch! 🙂 With the 2 for 1, you can have a classy, […]
