Breakfast and a 40AED coffee @ Al Mandhar Lounge, Jumeirah Al Naseem

March 3, 2017.Reading time 6 minutes.

Ever since Jumeirah Al Naseem opened its doors to the public in December, I’ve always wanted to go check it out ….. and as I do, I waited to see if there would be any deals. They never joined the Entertainer (will they?), and I couldn’t wait anymore (wanted to take mum there) – so […]

Mina A’Salam Afternoon Tea @ Al Samar Lounge Dubai

October 30, 2016.Reading time 7 minutes.

Last November, I had organised afternoon tea at Al Samar Lounge with the girls (yes, because it was in the Entertainer, and yes, because it’s always gorgeous in the Madinat). The review never made it live on the blog. Though we had a fabulous time sitting in the terrace overlooking the Burj Al Arab, I was […]

Our weekend away @ Al Qasr with a baby

August 8, 2016.Reading time 7 minutes.

First “holiday” away from our apartment last weekend. Social media has been driving me a little nuts lately with photos of everyone on their summer holiday (insert sulk face) . So after a lot of research on the newly launched Isme Elite app, we decided that it was pretty worth it, went ahead – bought it, […]

How to make the most of your stay at Madinat Jumeirah : Babymoon @ Dar Al Masyaf

June 1, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

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 […]

A little bit of Mexican @ Tortuga, Mina A’Salam

March 25, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

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 […]

Meatopia Brunch @ The Hide, Al Qasr

February 21, 2016.Reading time 12 minutes.

It’s been a long time since we’ve been to a Friday afternoon brunch. Out came the Entertainer App as I went through the monthly deals, and The Hide caught my attention. I’ve seen a page or two of it when magazines have gone to review the outlet, must have been in Stylist or Shortlist? Haven’t […]

Al Qasr Afternoon Tea @ Al Fayrooz Lounge

January 31, 2016.Reading time 4 minutes.

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 😉 )

SKY VODKA Ladies Night @ Left Bank, Souk Madinat Jumeirah

January 16, 2015.Reading time 2 minutes.

It’s nice to sit outside on the terrace now in the cool winter months, and it is in Souk Madinat Jumeirah so it’s a really beautiful spot overlooking the waterway, but to be honest….. it’s not at the top of my list as a ladies night spot. The girls who got there early told me the […]
