Dinner at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai

The bosses have arrived.
Top class cuisine is the ONLY option. 4 digit bills were the theme of the evening.
Here is the Mid East branch of the reputable Caviar House & Prunier
Menu is not too extensive, even though seafood was their forte. (For Malaysian standards)

We had a sampling of Caviar (obviously), Very fine smoked Salmon produced by BALIK of Switzerland, sushi and prawn cocktails, washed down with Stellas, Buds and Heinies!

The backdrop of the Burj Al Arab was also gorgeous. The weather on the other hand was something left to be desired, unless you are craving for 30 degrees heat!

Madinat is still as scenic and thriving as ever, and being a WEEKEND for the Mid east, all the bars and eateries were at their capacity, packed with Fashion TV type of clientele (so were their FREE underground carpark!)

ABU DHABI - My first trip and impression

Finally get to visit another Emirate, after visiting my 2nd Emirate, Sharjah a fortnight ago.
This capital of UAE is about 160 km away from Dubai.
Set out along Sheikh Zayed Road and travelled for 90 minutes, averaging 120 km/h.
Yup, that is the speed limit here, and most cars have a beeper installed that beeps continuously if you breach this limit! IRRITATING is an understatement!

This city is still developing, but not as hectic as Dubai.
From preliminary first impressions, things look quite organised, especially the super 4 lane highways that run through the city.

The Corniche is breathtaking!

Bahamian Bananas


Holy schmoly!
Look at the SIZE of these bananas from the Bahamas!

The whole bunch juxtaposed to my trusty Sony Ericsson K610i 3G mobile phone.
According to the specs of my phone, the length is only 102 mm,
So, scaling from there, the big BROTHER is a staggering 8 inches! (1 inch = 25.4 mm)
Pisang Emas, eat your heart out!

SCHWING!
