Dubai Cultural Tour at Al Shindagha Historical District

Ed and I ditched the usual weekend relaxation at a shopping mall last Friday as the Spring season's not-too-cold, not-too-warm weather is ideal for long walks. It is also the best time to explore Dubai's outdoor attractions. Hence, we put on our comfiest shoes and savored the cool afternoon breeze while on a leisure stroll at the well-kept traditional village in Al Shindagha;...

Discover the Dinosaur at The Dubai Mall

Fact: A dinosaur fossil was discovered in an excavation site in Wyoming in 2008. Fact: That dinosaur fossil now calls The Dubai Mall its home! "Seriously?" That's the only word I was able to say when I first heard about the dinosaur on display at The Dubai Mall. This city is getting more bizarre, more astounding... and I love it! Last weekend, Ed and I excitedly made...

Bennigan's: Great American Meal and Warm Irish Hospitality

Ed and I spent most of our weekends in Asian restaurants lately. We absolutely love Asian food, but then we miss trying out different dishes and new dine outs spots. So when we decided to have our lunch at The Dubai Mall last weekend, it was the right time to browse our blue books. We rely on our Entertainer Dubai whenever we want to have something new. With the...

Chop Suey: Hearty California Chinese Cuisine

Next to Filipino food, Chinese cuisine is a source of comfort whenever I'm dealing with homesickness blues. I don't know why, but duck slices and dumplings can release a certain feel-good energy! Much to my delight, I received an invitation in the middle of a busy workweek for a media lunch at Chop Suey, a new Chinese restaurant in Jumeirah. Though the restaurant's location...

Soy and Pepper: Asian Cuisine with a Twist

Dubai offers an extensive variety of cuisines, but there's always a point when I want nothing but a good ol' Filipino meal. Since my kitchen prowess is very limited, Ed and I would dine out whenever we crave for a special dish from home. It is very heart-warming to see new Filipino restaurants in  this culturally diverse city. The more options we have, the merrier!     Recently,...

Juicing Up at Juice World

Most of my friends are addicted to juicing. They have their own juicers at home and they urged me join the phenomenon. It is a trend I have considered as I promised myself to eat better and live healthier. However, the process of making homemade juices is very time-consuming and most of all, I hate the cleaning part. :) Freshly-squeezed juices at the shopping malls are quite...

Asian Buffet at Intramuros Restaurant Dubai

Since last year, a lot of people were directed to this blog while googling for Intramuros Restaurant in Dubai. Those people were probably disappointed when they realize that my blog's best friend, Mr. Google, gave them a post about the historical site in the Philippines and not the restaurant! I know I should put the blame to my blog's best friend and just laugh out loud...

The Exhilarating Red Bull Air Race in Abu Dhabi

The media invitation for the Red Bull Air Race in Abu Dhabi was the least I expected to arrive in my inbox. Who would have thought that this girly girl who often writes about romantic getaways and date nights in a pink polka blog will be invited to the season opener of the fastest motorsport series in the world? I am more of a cheerleader to a husband who is very much into...

Al Marasim Ladies Salon: A Beauty Sanctuary in Al Wasl

A friend has been raving about Al Marasim Ladies Salon ever since her pampering session last year. Actually, I wasn't surprised as I have already read a lot of good reviews about the elite salon in Jumeirah. She invited me to check out the place several times, but since I have been a busy working girl, it was only two Saturdays ago that I was able to join her for a salon...
