Adventures In Dubai Day 18: Yummilicious Thai Food in Lemongrass

The weekend is here again....we woke up at around 10 or so and Ace wanted to sleep late.. but woke up upon hearing the magic words, "Mac Donalds breakfast", Ace jumped out of his bed.

Alas, when we reached Mac, it was already 11am and breakfast time was already over and so we had lunch type of burgers instead...

Somehow, the mac donalds here is more vegeterian friendly.. they have a veggie burger and a veggie surprise... and the burger has got mayonese, veggie patty (the healthy type made of peas and veggies), lettuce and tomatoes.. I wonder why they dun have this option in Singapore...

And Ace got his favourite MEGAMIND toy! :)


Then we found a playground in the mac donalds and Ace was really happy... But initially, he was afraid to climb up cos he heard a creaking sound when he climbed onto the coloured panels.. but when i challenged him to complete it in a competition, he forgot all about his fear and ran through the whole playground like a circuit training.. hahaha



Then we timed him and asked him to improve on his timing and he ran in circles around again and again.. hahahaha...


That's his best timing.. 27 seconds..


Then this father brought a 4 or 5 year old daughter in.. i think he is a father who rarely plays with his children.. cos he allowed his daughter to go into the playground with socks.. and when she was i the tunnel part.. because the tunnel goes down before it goes up again, the little girl was unable to go up again.. so we asked Ace to help her.. if not for Ace, I dunnohow he would have gotten her out as it was too small for an adult to fit in... so Ace was a hero that day...:) I told the father to remove her socks cos it is too slippery but he still dun listen.. in the end, the girl said she wanted to go inside the tunnel again and i buay tahan and told the girl that she can only do so if she removes her socks.. then father kam wan to remove her socks...


Afterward, we went to the Mall of Emirates.. it is a huge mall and I was praying for a GL car park slot.. and true enough.. we found one near the mall entry at the exit called GL.. hahahahahahaha.. be careful wat you pray for cos you always gets it:) hahaha

There is a Dubai Ski inside the mall and it looks like a really cool place to experience winter.. i wonder if they use real snow or artificial snow.. and if it is real snow.. how did they get all the snow in...






Afterward, we went to this toy store and it has so many big stuffed toy.. nice right?

Check out the sexy giraffe butt again.. hahaha...

And Max found these circle things tat worked like skates or skateboard.. but it seemed very difficult to balance though when Ace tried it...


Max posing fwith a WWF belt.. I think Kym would like this.. Ace picked out his present and he still wanted to buy a POLICEMAN SET... we got him a gun instead.. and also bought presents for Gerard and Kayla while we are here...

Check out the huge hello kitty and the 4 in a line set... it is 3/4 the height of Ace...

Then we went to this sports shop tat also sold bikes in many diff forms.. so nice right?

And Ace practiced boxing...


Then Ace said he was thirsty so we went to the foodcourt for a drink.. I was so bored I took pictures of Ace's beautiful eye lashes.. hahahahah... wish i could exchange our lashes man... Max's lashes are long but not curly like Ace's.. i specifically told Ace when he was in my tummy tat he lashes will be LONG and CURLY and I am so glad I did.. hahahaha..

Then Ace said he wanted to go to the playground to play.. we told him if he found out himself how much it will cost, we will let him go... he really ran to the counter.. but he did not ask the person at the counter.. he just asked a parent who was standing around... and she was arabic i think.. hahahaha... Anyway, he found out that it costs 30AED and so after promising to do homework.. we let him go which means it gave us time to do our own shopping too...


We walked around the mall and saw these manequins with fans below to create the marilyn monroe look.. hahaha...

Then we picked Ace up and walked around the branded alley... and we decided to visit Carrefour for some supermarket shopping... As usual, Ace wanted to sit in the trolley.. (which was why max gave tat look.. hahaha) and here is an example of how expensive things are here.. a packet of fruits as shown above is something like 30-40 AED... tat's like 15 sing dollars at least.. and I found strange things like this ginseng shampoo with a GINSENG INSIDE!

It was xmas and so there were many xmas chocolates on sale....

After tat, we went to Lamcy and walked past a shoe shop, I went shopping there for my Sketchers tone ups... and saw these nurse shoes.. so cute right? Anyway, I also bought a long sleeve shirt for when I do my walking outdoors to protect my skin as per recommended by Mag.. and a cap too...

Then we ate at Lemongrass.. a thai restaurant... and Max says it is his fav restaurant here...

I can understand why.. the inside decor is nice...

And their teh with ice is very yummy! I ordered a lemongrass drink and Ace helped us seperate the chopsticks while Max tried to teach him how to make a whistle out of the chopstick packaging.. hahahaha...

And Max's fav dish here.... is..... GREEN CURRY!

We also ordered fried kang kong and pad thai for Ace but all Ace wanted to eat was the spring rolls!

Max was sweating profusely lor... after the food.. and this is how he looked after he ALREADY WIPED sweat off his head...

Proof of how much we love the food here! :)


Then we went home and Ace treid to figure out how to use his gun..


While I took out my goodies to inspect.. Thank you Max for buyingme the long sleeve top, the shoes and the cap! :)

Then I played shooting game with Ace.. with him using his new gun and me using his policeman gun.. and he keeps getting shot because my gun is so much easier to load.. afterward, he told his dad he wanted to play with him... and this time round, he chose to use the police gun and let his dad use the new gun.. hahahah...

They two of them were making so much noise.. okie.. Ace was making so much nice giggling, we had to stop after a while cos I think it was getting a little too late for so much giggling..


But at least he slept happy that night:)
