Reviews of Restaurant, Events and Hotels
We recently attended a demo of Kobold vacuum cleaners held at Fairmont The Palm. In the middle of the demo I declared that I want uhmm well more of NEED the cleaning system. All throughout the demo I have been sending updates to my husband with a message “I wish you’re here. The product is amazing!” Let me tell you why I need a Kobold Vacuum cleaner in my life.
Earlier this month we were invited to dine at Rosa Mexicano’s Dubai Mall branch. Our knowledge of Mexican food is limited to guacamole and burritos. This is our second time dining at Rosa Mexicano and they definitely opened our taste buds to something more. We ordered a single serving of guacamole which is good for 2 to 3 persons, we had enough leftovers to feed another person. Among the three included in Tres Antojitos the best one for us are the empanadas. Our family is kind off addicted to liquor free margaritas and mojitos, Kuya V ordered another glass.
Last weekend, we packed some stuff and drove to Fujairah. Novotel Hotel was our host for two nights, which is located at the heart of the city and just a few minutes away from the city mall. You can search for Hotel Novotel Fujairah on your google maps for easy navigation. Daddy C mentioned that Novotel/Ibis hotel’s caters mostly to business travelers. I didn’t do any research on what the hotel has to offer for our family of four, Daddy was sure though that if they have a swimming pool then him and the kids will be happy.
Halo-halo is the Philippine’s ultimate summer dessert. Â It’s the perfect treat as soon as the weather heat’s up. I remember consuming at least 2-4 glasses of Razon’s halo-halo weekly when I was pregnant with Kuya V. Aling Foping’s is a well-known outdoor eatery in Davao located at Matina Town Square (MTS), famous for it’s halo-halo, bibingka and chili con carne. It still remains to be one of our pit stop when we’re visiting Mama in Davao, it’s her favorite place to get this cold treat.
Last weekend, we had a relaxing fun Saturday Pik-Nik at The Westin Dubai. We entered a white picket fence area, chose a blanket to relax on with our basket filled with salad, antipasti, bread, cheese, cookies, cold cuts and sweet treats. A selection of drinks, burgers and hotdogs are also available.
We surprised the LittleOnes with The Happy Sweetheart Box for Valentines day. True to it’s name, the Happy Box definitely brought smiles and giggles to our home – a reason why they deserve a feature here. Here’s a short video of what’s inside.
For the first time we attended some sessions featured at Emirates Airline Festival of Literature, there was a lot to choose from but decided on two session that interested our Kuya V. 1st Session: The War Horse Puppets in Action Daddy and Kuya attended the session together. Both boys were so amazed on how the puppets were made, it takes them 1 year to complete 1 horse. It takes 3 men to carry one horse puppet and they have to study every move a real horse make – how the ears moves, the tail and even the sound it makes. Kuya noticed that he was the only young kid in the audience. His next wish is to watch the War Horse play.
A late post on where we had our Christmas dinner. We spent our Christmas day of 2014 just us four – woke up late and ate Noche Buena left-over’s for brunch then off to hear mass at St. Mary’s Catholic church and finally had a special dinner of … Steak and Sushi at Mazina, The Address Dubai Marina.
