Who am I
Originally from the home of the orang utans (where the world’s best food is found), having spent the latter part of my life in the land down under, we (husband and I) moved to Dubai back in 2012.
We both love chinese and japanese food, and our social life is planned generally around deals, though we do allow for the occasional splurge. I love looking for new deals, organising get-togethers and events, and writing about the experience. Note that I do not work in the hospitality / PR / journalism sector so please excuse my english if it’s not up to par ๐
We also have 3 little ones, so my write-ups since 2016 is based on us exploring the UAE and abroad through the eyes of parents, with occasional rants of mommyhood ๐
Get in Touch
I write honestly, with a view to provide suggestions and recommendations. I do not buy followers or likes on social media, though am proud to say that a lot of my posts do end up on the first few pages of google (insert smug face, he he). If required, I am happy to send you a snapshot of my blog stats. Iย am thatย person who will happily promote a good deal to our friends, workmates, and family by organising gatherings.
If you are launching a new menu or deal (food/nightlife/staycations), and would like feedback on how things can be better as well, that’s me. Please note that I am not here to just take pretty photos and write nice things – unless you want me to (upon which I will state so in the post ๐ )
Please do get in touch for collaborations atย liloneoftheashes@gmail.com
