Hard Rock Cafe Dubai

Hard Rock Cafe closed down in Dubai some years ago because I heard that there were intoxicated people who got into a fight... after a few years of rest, it is finally reopened again! We found out by chance when we drove into Dubai Festival City mall:) anyway, we thought maybe it would be a good idea to go there for dinner.. hehe...

When we parked our car and came out of the car park, we saw the Ferrari shop and Ace immediately asked if he could pose with his ferrari.. wahahahah...

"I love it!" says Ace.. praying everyday that he can buy one one day.....


As it was early, we decided to walk around a little bit before we went to HRC for dinner.. we walked past this "river" in the shopping mall and found these interesting boats... apparently if you pay, you can control the boat and float around for 15 minutes or so...

Then it was time for DINNER! When we arrived, we found out tat it is the first opening weekend at HRC.. wah.. we so honoured... :) and after we arrived, the crowd started to have to queue lor.. so we were lucky:) Here is Max acting cool with the book of Icons tat describe HRC...

But of cos, he is excited when he gets the DRINKS MENU:)

As for Ace, he is just totally engrossed with his kids menu which also doubled up as a fun quiz booklet...


Initially, the crowd was mostly ang moh.. but as it got later, more and more arabic people came as well:) The waitress told us that the band will play later and so we decided to hang around after dinner to catch the band;)

So while waiting for our food, Max and Ace continued to figure out puzzles together...


They even provided crayons with the HARD ROCK cafe sign on them:)

Finally, Ace's macaronni in tomato sauce with cheese arrived. it is the only item avail in the kids menu tat is vegeterian...

Ace din seem to like it that much...

But thank god he was happy with the chocolate shake:) hahaha

Our food... NACHOS with CHEESE!
And the vegeterian burger! It is very very very nice lor.. I still missing it now.. it is tasty and flavourful and smells so good lor!

Then we realized tat every half an hour or so, the waitresses and waiters will go on stage and do a funky dance;) hehehe. cute..




Anyway, Ace is also very impressed with our burger as we eat it while watching them dance:)


See, so many layers.. one layer of bread.. on top is a veggie patty made with (my guess) beans, mushrooms, carrot, onion and chopped walnut.. on top of tat is a portebella mushroom that is grilled... right on top of tat? grilled tomatoes and lettuce with mayo! then to top it off.. extra big burger bread.. YUMS!


Anyway, after we finished eating and while waiting for the band to start I loooked through the icons book and took pics of the more memorable items inside...

This one is about how HRC became wat it is today.. it started with two guitarist.. famous ones donating their guitars to this cafe tat they frequented.. one of them is Eric Clapton:)

Some outfit Madonna wore during her world tour...


This one I just took cos the furry guitars look nice:)


After the waiters danced one more round, the band finally came on!



Here is the band coming to shake hands with Max and Ace:)


max says it is common to have many birthday dedications here.. so this is one of the many we heard in the night.. wahahah


A few more photos before we go home:)




Good bye Ferrari, goodbye HRC:) We will be back SOON!

Anyway, I tot this would be the closest I can get to enjoying pubbing but clubbing.. But I was wrong.. when my fren came visiting, she babysat for me and I went clubbing for 4 days in a week :) Very fun... more about it.. LATER:) hehehe...
