Mexican Fiesta at Rosa Mexicano

Hola! Midweek, Ed and I were in Rosa Mexicano at The Dubai Mall celebrating Cinco de Mayo for the very first time! Actually, we were one day late! I wasn't able to join the media lunch during the Mexican holiday because of schedule conflict, hence my visit was moved the next day. Rosa Mexicano has been on my foodie list, so I delightfully accepted the dinner invitation though it means I had to rush to Downtown right after a busy work shift.  

Rosa Mexicano is an international fine-dining Mexican restaurant with two branches in Dubai; one at The Dubai Mall and the other at Mirdif City Centre. The restaurant's name actually means Mexican Pink; no wonder it fascinates me a lot. The color is a mix of red, blue and white; truly different from other shades of pink. Based on its name alone, I guess Rosa Mexicano was created to stand out from the rest of its kind.

Not Just Another Date Night at The Noodle House

It's no secret how much I love The Noodle House. As I have shared on a blog post before, it is a restaurant close to my heart as I had a lot of memorable dining experiences at their BurJuman and Souk Madinat branches. Recently, I followed the well-loved restaurant on Instagram and discovered a cool competition for their avid followers. All I needed to do was to post a photo of what I ate at The Noodle House, tag @thenoodlehousedubai and hashtag #tnhwin. It was an easy peasy task for me since I am an IG-addict and a hashtag-overuser!  :) 

A week after I posted my entry, I woke up to a notification from The Noodle House. I won!!! OMG, I won! Sorry if it seems like I'm over reacting, but hey it's a meal from The Noodle House! I'd gladly accept anything from my favorite Asian restaurant! As The Noodle House in BurJuman is a constant date night venue, Ed and I opted to claim my prize at Jumeirah Emirates Towers for a change.

Valentine's Dinner Buffet at Arjaan by Rotana

On the evening of February 14, Ed and I went on a date at Arabesque Cafe; a lovely restaurant known for Arabian home-style cooking, continental cuisine and Theme Nights in Arjaan by Rotana. Actually, I had no intentions to blog about our dinner. I even left the big camera at home. Since I have always been blogging about our date nights, I wanted to spare Valentines Day this year. All I wanted was to celebrate LOVE. But then, the moment we arrived in Arjaan at Dubai Media City, I changed my mind! The hotel is too gorgeous and Arabesque Cafe is too fantastic not to share! So, I ended taking a few snaps with my trusted iPhone, and now sharing the grainy, low-quality photos on this post.

Fondue Fun at St. Moritz Cafe

A couple of weeks back, while I was planning where to spend the usual Fri-date, I browsed through my Entertainer 2014 books and turned to my husband every time there's something interesting. On that chilly afternoon, I was thinking about comfort food in a perk-me-up place! I found a Manga-inspired sushi restaurant where Ed can get his Naruto-fix and I can have Japanese rolls, but still, it was a 'No' from him! No to Naruto? That's a first! So, I went through the books again and we finally agreed on a venue that perfectly suites the sweater weather!

We decided to spend our weekend night at St. Moritz Cafe, a casual dine-out spot patterned like a restaurant in a fancy ski resort. The restaurant has tall glass windows offering a good view of Ski Dubai and a fake fireplace that boosts the classic Swiss Alps ambiance.

Fournil De Pierre: The Newest French Eatery in the City

I have been giving myself a priceless birthday gift for four consecutive years: REST! Just like last year, I am currently on a 10-day staycation, and so far, I've been having a blast. I've showered myself with a lot of me-time, learned to be a better homemaker and happily accepted event and restaurant invitations! 

Last Tuesday, Ed and I went to Fournil De Pierre's official opening celebration. Fournil De Pierre is a restaurant that has been around in France since 1980, and has recently opened its first branch in the UAE in Downtown Dubai. It offers freshly baked bread and pastries, healthy beverages and the finest French traditional dishes. I always love to discover new romantic dine-out spots, so I was excited to check out this newest French eatery.

Hello again, Carino's!

One weekend, Ed and I had a boring night at home. We went window-shopping at Burjuman Centre to console ourselves. Then, out of the blue, we decided to have our dinner at Carino's. It's been over a year since we had our meal at the Italian grill. We love Carino's, but we often forget that the restaurant exists at Burjuman due to its hidden location. Carino's Italian Grill is at the junction of the business center and the shopping mall, away from the retail shops, secretly waiting to be discovered!
