Expensive Dinner Vs Cheap Dinner

It was sort of like the second last day of our friend's trip to Dubai and the highlight of the day is that they made a reservation to have dinner at a restaurant in the 7 star hotel, Burj Al Arab.

Initially, our friends say they would give my family a treat in the hotel lor.. but when I tried to make booking for them and saw tat the price of the meal is minimum 450dh per pax, I told her I wouldnt allow others to pay this sort of price for my meal cos even I wouldnt pay this sort of price.. wahahaha.. I have had fine dining once in my life and once is very enough..t hank you very much:) wahahaha..

Anyway, since there is only one highlight and we all got to rest till afternoon time.... we decided to go Shimmers to chill out somemore and take more pics of the sunset and also Burj Al Arab from Jumeriah Madinet area...

The beautiful sunset... by the sea....

Lao Uncle and God Grandma chilling out:)

One more been there done tat photo:)

I tot the colours looked good and took one more of the hotel...

Meanwhile, Ace got bored and went to the seaside to play with Max.




Shiok hor.. if we can lay on the deck chairs to watch sunset.. alas, to be honest, it was a little too chilly to enjoy doing tat now....

Ace helped me and Max to take a pic:)



Then finally it was time to make our way to Burj Al Arab..

That is Max smiling happily.. cos because of our frens, we got to drive our car into the hotel lor.. if not for them.. we wouldnt have been able to go in at all:) Ace looking excited in the car... And this is how the hotel lobby looks like from outside:)

The interior.. according to our frens who took these photos... the interior is so so only lah.. just alot of things plated in GOLD....

In the restaurant...

Dunno wat food this is but it does look good:) hahha

That is the waiter serving them white truffles for their veal with white truffles:)

And as the hotel is in the basement, there is a big fishtank inside acting like a pillar.. as you eat, the fishes will swim past you...... shiok hor:)

Anyway, when they came back, I asked Annie godma over whatsapp how it was and she said that the food was very very good... they paid something like 400plus sing per pax (total bill came to something like 4500dhs) in the end but it was worth it too:) The only thing she was not too happy about was the fact tat there was alot of screw up during the reservation process and that when they arrived, they almost did not let Lao Uncle into the restaurant cos even though he was wearing closed toe shoes, they say it is not dinner type of black shoes.. xiao.. got money can go in liao right?:P

Just to tease her a little... I told her this is my 72dhs dinner that night: Fried rice, fried noodles and teh beng at ny fav indon restaurant:) wahahahahahahahha....





Equally yummy leh:) hehehehehe...

But anyway, the hotel still not bad leh.. they actually wrote in to ask for feedback and when Annie godma complained about all the cock up, they actually say they will offer a dinner for two at one of their restaurants for a three course meal... so looks like in the end, me and Max still going to get a fine dining experience at Burj Al Arab after all since Annie godma not flying back to Dubai to use this free meal:)
