Champagne Brunch in Dubai...

For the rest of the world that enjoys Sunday champagne brunches, Dubai has it on Friday, but equally deadly. Zuma has became one of the choice restaurants to visit when you are at Dubai. Originally from UK, this fusion Japanese resto packs a punch!!

They have 3 menus to choose from

1) the HEALTHY menu, which doesn't include any alcohol, but you are given mock-tail which are OH-SO-HEAVENLY $350 DHS

2) the champagne menu which gives you free flow of I THINK, is moet. $420 DHS

3) the hard alcohol menu which is totally deadly! $450DHS

I think that was the rough pricing, I had the healthy one! 



Going to Zuma is like an excursion of its own. So get really for the culinary adventure, bring an empty tummy and try to walk out sober.  


Locate at DIFC, the business district of Dubai, usually Zuma would see the business crowd. However on Friday, come down in your Friday slacks and chill...



Champagne, Sake , Wine and Cigar greets you at the entrance, HOW APPROPRIATE YA?!



I have to really complement the staffs, 5/5 service. Upon arrival without a reservation, the staff politely informed us that there was no available table. They then ushered us to the bar for either peach, orange or guava belini. yum! talk about tip top service! 








Fresh sashimi , bite size to get your meal started! The fish literally melts in your mouth!





Did I mention that the oysters were to die for as well?


They have all sorts of funky drinks, with lemon grass, a little ginger, some lime! Totally reeeeee-freshing!


The fusion good food !


The look of joy!


Everyone gets to choose a main course! Look at the King prawn! Awww!!


The lobster broth! I bet it took hours to boil!


Oh and lets not get started on the desert!








At the end, I was really satisfied with the food! Totally happy and satisfied. Outta 5 for presentation, I would give a 4.5! a 6/5 for service and a 10/10 for overall experience. Do try to make a trip here when you visit Dubai. I would say it would be in the top 5 list for everyone!

Spain, caught me heart!

I took some videos of my trip in Spain and there was a mock bull fight! Bull fighting is part of the Spanish tradition. But this activity is more of a tourist attraction!



The night before I left, the fireworks accompanied with good music and good friends left me such a beautiful memory of Spain! I want to return soon... I'm so in loved!

Trip to Malaga and back.....

I have never been so in loved like I was with Spain and their gorgeous, warm and passionate people. The weather was wonderful, the sun was bright, the skies were blue, the breeze smelt nice... U get the idea? It was heaven....! The wine was cheap, food was good... ahhhh WHY AM I BACK HERE?!












           And so the trip began from Dubai, to London and then to Malaga! It was such a beautiful place !

Incase you were wondering why the buildings were all white, it is actually a tradition in this place called Mallbela that they will paint the houses white near the end of the year! Well, thats what I gathered from a local...!
