A Leisure Guide for Families in Dubai
As much as I love reviewing food as part of an invitation (i.e free), I will have to admit that you can only truly experience the real deal when you head over as a paying guest. It’s quite upsetting when it’s from a brand close to heart. I sat on the fence on this one […]

Back home from a short getaway to the capital. We used the 2nd, and last of the staycation voucher in our Isme Elite app this time – a “city getaway” – at Jumeirah Etihad Towers Hotel in Abu Dhabi 🙂 It was either that, or Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai (too close to home, the […]

I’m struggling to find time to blog nowadays. I’ve got Little S in my arms right now as I type away. She’s been a lucky little monkey, as she’s been to so many places lately – of one is Sultan’s Lounge at the glamorous Jumeirah Zabeel Saray in west crescent of The Palm 🙂 As […]

Quite a few weeks ago, we were looking around for somewhere to go for a, what people would call a ‘babymoon’. Now most people (in Dubai) would go to somewhere exotic like Thailand, Maldives, maybe Sri Lanka – but I was past my ‘okay-to-fly’ safe date so we opted for somewhere local. A few clicks […]

With the doctor telling us that I’ve got ‘a few days to go’ before the little girl makes her debut, we decided to bring forward our date night at the Burj Al Arab. Anytime now, she says. I found out about the deal a few weeks ago when I could not sleep, and decided to […]

I’ll start off by saying that I am no expert when it comes to Mexican food. This was just one of those unplanned Thursday nights where we flipped out the Entertainer and wanted to go to somewhere in the Souk Madinat Jumeirah area, having just spent a lovely babymoon at Dar Al Masyaf the weekend […]

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 look forward to this every year, as it’s that one time where we can dine in the many Jumeirah restaurants for a really good price. Link to the official Jumeirah Restaurant Week website here. It’s on from the 14th to 23rd of May, and sometimes it gets extended for another week or so. Fingers […]

1 hour before we have to get ready for our Nien Chu Yi dinner at Shanghai Chic, so I’ll keep this short and sweet 🙂 Last night we went to Zheng He at Mina A’ Salam for tuan yuan fan. Beautiful setting next to the waterway, overlooking the Burj. I was so hopeful that there […]
Read MoreLazy blog post. I’m supposed to be in the pool, he he. Been to Al Hambra twice now and totally recommend it. 4 people, use 2 of your Entertainer 2 for 1s, and you get 8 tapas for the price of 4 ( 135AED ) 2 Paella/Mains for the price of 1 (125 AED) Crazy […]

Being a loyal Jumeirah fan (thanks to Arvin’s charm), we’ve been to many Jumeirah restaurants but have never explored the ones in Emirates Towers because a) it’s a wee bit far from where we live b) haven’t really heard any of our friends talk about the restaurants there, their reasons probably because of point a) above […]

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!

Isn’t it nice when you find another new bar in town that you like? 🙂 Well last night we thought we’ll venture out a bit further (than the Marina, lol), since we had a guest. Rang up Jumeirah groups to double check and yes, Bahri Bar does ladies nights on Tuesdays between 8-11pm. When you […]

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 […]

Our 2nd try on the many restaurants participating in Jumeirah Restaurant Week 🙂 Pierchic. “The stroll out to sea along the bedecked pier immediately sets the scene for romance. Pierchic serves only the finest seafood dishes, washed down with a balmy breeze and the serene views of the Gulf’s azure waters. Stylish, serene and simply […]
