Chapters Afternoon Tea @ The Retreat Palm Dubai

September 25, 2018.Reading time 8 minutes.

We wanted to go somewhere new last Saturday, so off we went for a drive to the Palm with the kids. I started browsing through the Entertainer to see where have we not been to. This newly opened hotel had always been of interest – The Retreat Palm Dubai ran by MGallery by Sofitel. Too […]

July 30, 2017.Reading time 10 minutes.

You’ve seen those lagoon pools. You’ve always wanted to swim in them. But you don’t want to break the bank and stay overnight. Alternative? Do a daycation at Anantara the Palm. Also called their Swim, Eat and Relax deal – you pay 299 AED for a 3-course gourmet meal at The Beach House (indoors – […]

A family Afternoon Tea @ Lotus Lounge, Anantara The Palm

October 17, 2016.Reading time 8 minutes.

So you ask me, with all the 241s available for afternoon tea, why would you come to The Lotus Lounge in Anantara The Palm and pay full price? There has got to be something different, something special, for you to pay that extra. Yes, once you use the voucher, The Lotus Lounge usually loses out […]

Breakfast @ A La Turca, Rixos The Palm

January 29, 2016.Reading time 3 minutes.

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! 🙂 […]

Our meaty dinner date @ Porterhouse Steaks & Grill

September 10, 2015.Reading time 5 minutes.

Onboard EK 334 once again back to the far east, with my laptop and 4 hours to go. It doesn’t charge well so I have probably not a lot of time to do this post (Afternote : This post was actually finished up a day later when I could charge my lap top back again….) […]

Why don’t we have a bathtub in our bedroom? Now if your wife asks you this, an easy way to make her happy is to take her to a Beach Suite in Sofitel the Palm 🙂 So, picture this. The bellboy takes you to your suite and you try your best to keep calm when […]

Bespoke Massage @ Waldorf Spa, Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah

And to end a busy week of work (no Ramadan hours for me…) – what better way than to complete it with another spa date in the palm – a lil visit to Waldorf Spa 😉

Peking Duck Evenings @ Hong Loong, Sofitel The Palm

April 17, 2015.Reading time 7 minutes.

We have had peking duck in various different restaurants in Dubai. Some add it as part of their brunch feast (Toy Brunch, Le Rivage, Asian Channels), and some restaurants have it as a choice in their mains (Noodle Room). My hometown in Malaysia does it well, as does the chinese in Auckland. My memories of having […]

Sweet Valentines @ Social by Heinz Beck

You know those times when you dine out with your other half, and both of you are so overwhelmed by everything – the service, the setting, the food, you rave about it to your friends for the next few weeks until they get so sick about it? Yeah, that’s Social by Heinz Beck for you 😉

Cocktails and Dim Sum @ Ba Lounge

December 18, 2014.Reading time 3 minutes.

When our friends were here in Dubai, they bought trays of dim sum from Carrefour to bring back to Doha. G decided to buy some of these as well to try out, and the har gaus and siew mais was actually, not too bad….:) So, whilst we were in the ‘omg-I-miss-dim-sum’ mood, I received an email […]

June 24, 2014.Reading time 4 minutes.

Guilty. I stole the photo above from Google 😀 I know I took a coupla photos during the initial stages of my relationship with Kalm but that was probably more than a year ago now, so I’m not too sure where it is. And why let that stop me from writing my lil story 😉

Much belated blog post, as we took M there mid-February for her lil birthday celebration 🙂 I had read about Mekong in What’s On and the whole eating in a rickshaw thing caught my attention. Something different 🙂

A night in Fairmont The Palm #2

June 30, 2013.Reading time 2 minutes.

I took M to Fairmont The Palm two weekends ago. We checked into the Fairmont Gold View Room on the 10th floor, and to our nice surprise found a pot full of bloomin’ red roses and a personalised note to me. Opened it up and in it was a hand scrawled note ‘Dear Ms. X, […]

The Zoo Project @ N’Dulge

December 1, 2012.Reading time 4 minutes.

Honestly – we almost missed out on an awesome night 🙂 It’s a good thing Societe Perrier actually asked what time we were getting there. We were just going to stay in-doors having red wine, chippies and mango, chit chat and chill while the rain poured down all over Dubai. Did you see the endless […]

West 14th @ Oceana Beach Club, The Palm

Evening Buffet @ Saffron, Atlantis

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 […]
