A Leisure Guide for Families in Dubai
Well, you must have been to Address Beach Resort by now? Or at least seen (endless) reels taken by their outdoor terrace. It is definitely a stunning spot, credits to the beautiful Sails of the Future sculpture, designed by Emirati artist Mattar Bin Lahej on a water feature. How about having afternoon tea here? Let’s […]

Caesar’s have completely decked out their lobby area for the upcoming Valentine’s Day. There are kisses all over their statues, red love hearts and crosses hanging from the ceiling – and as you walk towards the Roman Lounge, you get more Valentine’s decor staring back at you. Yes, it’s all a bit tacky and OTT […]

Park Hyatt Dubai has paired up with Chef Silvena Rowe, introducing an arabic take to the classic British afternoon tea – aptly named ‘Ottoman Whispers’. Off we went on a Saturday afternoon to the other end of town to review the afternoon tea, set in the Lobby lounge. It typically would be held in the […]

Following my visit to the Pedi:Mani:Cure Studio on Monday (click here), I was so keen to bring the girls back to see the resident rabbits in the gardens of the One and Only the Palm. So off we went all excited (me included) on a nice sunny afternoon to the end of the west crescent. […]

You’ve seen that light blue, translucent shell that appears to be levitating mid-air within the lounge in Atlantis. Magical 🙂 I’ve always wondered what they serve there – if I could have a drink or two one day, without breaking the bank. Then the 241 for the afternoon tea popped up on the Entertainer for […]

It’s nice when a restaurant is consistent – that’s what I felt from our afternoon tea visit at The Address Boulevard yesterday. We tried the ‘Art Crafted Afternoon Tea’ almost two years ago now (click here) – and returned to review the Chocolate Afternoon Tea. Spent an entire afternoon with mum and the girls. Made […]

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 […]

So after a not-so-good first impression of Fortnum and Mason last month (read my review here), we decided to give it another try a couple of weeks later. It really was a spur of a moment thing – I was standing at the corner of The Dubai Mall LG level, flicking through my handy Entertainer […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

So mum arrived on Friday, and with the little girl due on Monday I figured, why not book in a nice afternoon tea at St Regis Dubai since there was a 241 from Timeout Dubai (click here). A little risky you may say – Little S did wait though till the actual day 😉 For […]

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 😉 )

Grosvenor House was celebrating having more than 2000 followers on instagram, and we jumped at the opportunity to join in this afternoon for their celebrations at Rhodes W1 🙂 If you did not take photos as you entered the restaurant, shame on you 😉 Foliage walls, white and yellow, you feel like you’ve just entered […]

The photos are so pretty, isn’t it. So much more, when you’re actually there 🙂 Yes, it’s quite a girly thing, but I went with G and he was absolutely stuffed. So drag your hubby and your little ones and go have a good afternoon at Al Bayt 😀 This is what you get for 180 […]

Hmm 🙂 Half watching a random episode of Gossip Girl, half having dinner, and half blogging, hehe. Okay don’t be pc and correct me, it should be one third -.- So 3 days ago we decided to try out another afternoon tea, so out came the Ent app. Other than Kambaa, Al Bayt was in […]

How would you like to, spend 3 hours in a classy lounge in a 5-star hotel, have some scones and gourmet sandwiches, catch up with friends, whilst a lady plays live piano in the background, sip on amazingly fragrant tea (that you can get choose from a frikin’ tea box!)? When you’re done with the […]
