Restaurants. Hotels. Experiences
Sunday Roast has always, from what I gather (and please forgive me if I am wrong) – a British thing. Whilst we both grew up in British colonised countries, we have never been a huge fan of just having roast beef and yorkshire puddings (again, please forgive me for saying this). I actually try my […]

When I found out they were going to be building a waterpark to replace the much beloved Mina Seyahi Amphitheatre – I was not very happy at all. We’ve spent a lot of time there over the years – Ripe Markets, Pik Nik and just letting the kids run around. Well well, green space never […]

There really isn’t a lot of choices when it comes to Saturday brunches. This popped up on my radar when doing a bit of research a couple of weeks ago (Google, of course) – and I then noticed that we get an extra 25% discount with our Privilee membership. Made a booking online for a […]

Sui Mui – this is the revamped of what used to be Spice Emporium in The Westin Mina Seyahi. We’ve been to Sui Mui a couple of times now since it opened last year – it’s always our go-to with the family and friends, after a day spent at the beach. We returned last Wednesday […]

With the toddlers growing up, it also means the extra little expense as they want to “drink coffee” like mummy. I don’t like paying for frothy milk with chocolate sprinkles on top. After many breakfast and coffee dates with the little ones, here’s my personal round up of where I like to bring the toddlers […]

We’ve been to Oeno once, and decided to return after a friend recommended it for a nice evening out. They had all these deals happening on a Thursday – and since it was a 3 minute taxi ride from our place (8, if the tram was passing….), we made some plans to meet friends over […]

So we managed to get out of the house around 11-ish today which was an absolute miracle. Two kids strapped into a monster double pram, we got out of the building and started walking towards the Le Meridien. Weather was perfect. As we made our way towards the Pik-Nik area, we stopped by the little […]

My first ladies nights out in a very long time 🙂 I didn’t even realise that China Grill had shut down! I’m sure it wasn’t because of my not-so-nice post of their ladies night there, hee hee (read it here, if you haven’t!) So, it’s been too long since I’ve been to ladies nights (or […]

Since July last year, we’ve been to Gourmet by Kcal numerous times. Citispi organises a breakfast morning for mums with babies, or those who are expecting ( Thanks for that 😉 ) With every breakfast order, you get a complimentary tea/coffee. Then towards the end of the year, Entertainer decided to throw in a 241 […]

You no longer have an income. You want to get out of the house because, as cute as your three-month old is – it’s nice to socialise with some adult people once in awhile. Then you start researching what you can do whilst bringing your little one and you find that a lot of the […]

Ooooo, I’m probably going to step on a few toes for this but I’ll write this anyways. Times like this I wish there were more blogs on ladies nights so we could’ve avoided last night. So, we were planning to meet up for a ladies night and I got quite frustrated trying to find a […]

He he he. The 1st of the month is always exciting for liloneoftheashes. That’s when the Entertainer gives its monthly deals. This morning I woke up, and had a flick around the app and guess who’s on – Bussola Italian Restaurant, at The Westin Mina Seyahi 🙂 We’ve seen this place from the outside many […]

Early June – C had organised an evening brunch , and Latest Recipe came into choice as it was in the Entertainer Monthly Offers. ( PS – and it still is! ) Evening brunches to be honest are not that easy to find, and we tend to go back to Channels as the easy, value-for-money last-min […]

I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about the newly launched brunch at The Westin. It has kinda exploded into the social media scene, thanks to I would say a very successful marketing campaign. I am, unashamedly one of those who have agreed to come and check it out 😉 Bro and sis-in-law is here, why not […]

Haha crazy bloggin’ ay. Love exploring new spots, especially with M here! I remember checking out Senyar Bar a year ago when they had Ladies Night there. I think it’s shut now. Replaced by El Sur ? Mental note : Add to to-go list. So Oeno’s resumed its Ladies nigh aka Goddess Night – on […]

Didn’t do the food justice with my lousy camera skills. Sorry! 😉 A girl friend was in town and I hadn’t planned anything. Opened up the HSBC Ent Book and thought I’ll choose something that’s nearby and nice. Saw the Hunters Room & Grill and thought – why not? I hadn’t been to the Westin […]
