Chinese Lantern Festival Gala, on Chap Goh Meh 2017, in Amity University, Dubai – (Didn’t know there were so many Chinese in Dubai, didya?)
Chinese New Year is fast approaching. So is Valentine’s. I am still in this never-seem-to-end Project in Abu Dhabi, and have not planned anything for Valentine’s, or CNY!
But I’m sure the wife has something up her sleeves. And that, friends, is the beauty of having a loving wife around, haha! (I’d never imagine myself saying that before I tied the knot!)
Anyway, here’re pictures of assorted Chinese things in Dubai in the past year. Gong Xi Fa Cai everyone!!! Going back to work now, can’t wait for the friggin weekend. Umm… just 3 friggin days to go!
DragonMart 2, Dubai
Old Wood Village Restaurant, DragonMart 2 – The décor is beautiful, but, nah, haven’t tried it. It’s a Chinese vegetarian restaurant! How on earth am I gonna convince dear ol wife to fork out some cash to try out a vegetarian restaurant?!?
Now, that’s more like it, seafood! The wife loves seafood, especially Chinese seafood! Sun Tour Restaurant, DragonMart 2, with niece Sweety
More restaurants – Dad at the Quan Jude Peking Duck Restaurant, International City. I have lots of complaints about International City, but when it comes to authentic Chinese food in Dubai, International City is the place to be! You’ll find restaurants from all over China. Just imagine the variety!
Buhaiwan Restaurant, International City – ‘the best’ noodle restaurant in Dubai according to my Chinese colleague and friend. It specializes in noodle dishes from the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Province of China. The Uighur people look nothing like Chinese (they’re a Turkic group and are predominantly Muslim), but they’re Chinese nationals and speak Chinese. (No, my Chinese friend isn’t Uighur, he’s a Han from the neighbouring Qinghai Province). Don’t visit on weekends though, you’ll wait hours to get a seat!
Free Kung Fu Classes in DragonMart 2, for the entire summer!
See! Dubai has its own acupuncture and traditional Chinese treatment centre – DragonMart 2, Dubai
Lanterns and Lion Dances for the Mid-Autumn Festival aka Mooncake Festival
Happy New Year Everybody! Gong Xi Fa Cai! Wan Shi Ru Yi! And for the love birds, Happy Valentine’s!!!
