The boodle fight dinner

Old blog post(retrieved) from 2013

It was Faith's birthday that we were invited for a dinner,ala boodle fight.I was hearing about it a long time ago since I joined the Welcare team but wasn't really clear about how it will look like.

Dinner at the rainforest cafe(after watching captain america)

We watched Captain America and Chris Evans is still as handsome as ever,but he in a bit matured with his facial features.

The movie was cool...And that after,we ended up having dinner at the Fainforest Cafe which made me feel the sense of fun and I felt like being a kid again.The cafe has this interval of every 30 minutes,they will showacase a monkey stuff toy with the sound of the jungle as the background.

We ate too much at the moviehouse but hon and I wanted a decent meal for dinner ,we did not  eat rice and we just ordered something unusual because we both cannot skip rice for dinner,hehe(this was the first time with no rice).The funny thing was I only ordered red velvet cake and chicken wings which hon commented that it seems like a "pulutan" asking for tanduay.lol!

The boodle fight dinner

It was Faith's birthday that we were invited for a dinner,ala boodle fight.I was hearing about it a long time ago since I joined the Welcare team but wasn't really clear about how it will look like.

The resto is owned by Faith's aunt,and we really thought that it will be a yummy dinner because Faith always and with consisitency,brings yummy food and dessert at work.

She had blocked the time but since too many people were coming,we waited for a while,but let me just tell you...we enjoyed the dinner,ala boodle fight,so much that we finished eating and I did not mind that the next day,we would Ron and I will be swimming,lol!I mean,wearing swimwear...

The spicy date of inday and dodong

It was a night that we decided to see the Dubai Downtown Lights,the light show was a big bit specially to the kids.It's like watching a movie outdoors...,and since I love seeing the Dubai Dancing Fountain.I certainly enjoyed.

We ate at Social House located in Dubai Mall,it was resto of Asian fusion,with the choice of having your tables outside so that you can have the exact view of the lights and the fountain.

Hon and I both ordered Nasi Goreng,which he told me is the counterpart of the Laureat that we have in Chowking.That was one of his favorites.So I joined him in having the laureat bandwagon.

The food was good,tasteful,really nothing bad to comment except for the veggies and greens on the side which lacks dressing.

A fun night with nothing but laughter,so much laughter that we even see people staring at us because we laugh aloud.lol!

They had a different style of door which made us both amazed and also the window backdrop which is a huge type of wooden window which we both agreed,can be a masterpiece and a conversation piece.

The food was satisfying and you will feel very full but what I liked most was the homemade iced tea which we both ordered and enjoyed.The iced tea is not the usual iced tea that we have in the market,it was a bit bland,not sweet not even sour,but has a sour cream on top which when melted,will mix with the tea and will ooze a very nice taste.Plus the mint leaves with an added bonus.

So serious...lol!

The obligatory cake for every date

The Nasi Goreng.

The homemade iced tea.

We went home so full and of course,you cannot fathom the smile accompanied by our well-spent light and fountain show date.

Til our next blog.

The "share tea" experience

I am a fan of tea.Whether you call it milk tea,green tea or just plain tea.But with Dubai's fantastic humid and a 50degree temperature,there is an alternative way of enjoying your tea,not hot...but cold.

Surprisingly,after my duty hours,I had no choice but to walk a little bit far from the hospital to the metro station,hot it is...after which,I totally perspired and really felt suffocated.And so I thought of having a cold drink.

Not drinking soda,I aimed to take something healthy but also craving for it to have a "taho" taste because I totally miss it.So when I passed by the metro station side of Deira City Centre,I curiously asked this lady from  a cute stall just few steps after you tap your card at the metro station entrance,it is actually inside the station.

This lady(who was very accommodating),a pinay was the one who took my order.I asked if she can recommend a drink which tastes like taho.She told me that they have this drink,milk tea drink with jelly,with gusto,I asked if they can put "sago", and she said yes.But I have to pay additional 2aed for it.

Let me share with you this drink,milk tea with pudding,total of this 22aed,and I can say,with the satisfaction that I got,it was worth it... :-)

Another photo op with kuya :-)

Another kabayan crew who is also so sweet,even volunteered to move the tarp for us to have a background :-)

Close photo op with ate :-)

Me and the pinay crew whom delightedly entertained me and was so enthusiastic for a photo when she found out that I am a blogger:-)Ooops,though I forgot to ask her name,peace ate :-)

Free taste :-)

The cash registry :-)

This is while I was trying to open the straw wrapped in a plastic,so candid...this was taken by the crew:-)

The menu :-)

The main tea bar or reception hall.

The hello kitty registration book,if you feel you like you want to sign up for any of their emails...So cute,hello kitty is love.

The jelly-like chairs and tables,with neon colors and a light which reflects and is so catchy to the eyes.
