Our Valentine’s Date at Yuan, Atlantis The Palm

Published by

The date at Yuan was a surprise for our eldest, Kuya V. I wanted to re-assure him that even if he’s a big brother now, he will always be Mama’s baby boy.

Yuan restaurant has a kid dining policy of 4 years and up. The initial plan was for Kuya and I to go on date and Dad will spend the afternoon with LittleMiss. We asked Yuan’s reception if they would allow us to dine with our toddler, they agreed saying that the policy only applies for dinner.

Our hostess led us to our table and handed us Yuan’s Yam Cha brunch menu, we are to order anything that we want on the menu. Read More

We spent an afternoon tasting delicious brownies at a newly opened Brownie Blues shoppe located at Jumeirah Plaza. Owner and founder, Ms. Arva Arbas started as a homebaker before finally deciding to open an online brownie gifting store.

I initially thought that the shoppe also offered coffee but no, it is not a cafe. A physical store was opened to give customers the option to drop by and taste a block of delicious brownies. Read More

Bulalo Soup

Published by

We have a bad case of sniffles this week, it all started when Daddy C was away on a business trip. I should really start taking driving lessons soon, we had to wait 30 minutes for a cab to pass by outside the hospital. Hungry sick kids and no cab just spelled tantrums.

Bulalo soup is a bone broth stock that is very simple to make and just require patience if you want to do it the traditional way. The key to a tasty broth is simmering beef bones for hours.

Dubai’s cold weather is just the perfect time to enjoy a warm soup. We had this for lunch paired with tuyo and cooked jasmine rice.

Too early for Valentines? Maybe. Too early to make something special? No.

LittleMiss’: “Mama, where my boy’s?”

She specifically calls her big brother “boy or boys.” As soon as she see’s Kuya V’s school bus she would declare “My boy’s is here! Hey, boys look my toy.”
