Friday Marina Brunch – Intercontinental Hotel, Abu Dhabi

Over the weekend, I went to the Friday Marina Brunch at the Intercontinental Hotel. This brunch consisted of an all you can eat buffet featuring various restaurants at the Hotel. We were seated at Circo (Italian) but we were able to go to the other restaurants nearby for their specialty cuisine (ie Chamas (Brazilian Meat) & Belgian Cafe (Mussels). There were also several other outdoor kitchens open offering dim sum, a noodle bar, tacos, ice cream and more! The highlight for me were fresh oysters and crab legs!

They feature a new theme each month. For the month of November they started an 80s theme where they bring in live music, cool props, photo booths and an all around classic vibe!

My husband and I went with 2 friends and we literally stayed for our entire brunch experience 12pm – 4pm. Within the first hour of the meal my husband had literally threw in his napkin and stopped eating. Well into our last hour, my friend Winnie and I were still contemplating which desserts to finally end with.

Here are 9 TIPS to Maximize your Buffet Experience:

I was Mistaken as a Waitress

Ingredients, Eastern Mangroves Hotel, Abu Dhabi , UAE

Restaurant Review

Last week I was able to enjoy a lovely lunch at the Eastern Mangroves Hotel Restaurant, named Ingredients. We were a large group of over 40 ladies, since it was a weekday lunch, there were little to no other parties in the restaurant. The staff was kind enough to guide us from our conference room to the Ingredients Restaurant. Once we arrived, I felt like I had to seat myself and no direction was really given on which tables were reserved for our party.

My Blog is Nominated for an Award!

It has only been less than a month when I have launched DOTonherway. Since I quit my career and moved to the UAE with my husband, I found this new liberating project. I learned a lot and am continually learning everyday about domains, SEO, hosting, readability, tags, plugins, and much more! It really is overwhelming (and I can see how it can be a full-time job)! I have also joined many blogging communities and was able to get so much support and tips from other bloggers.

Kristin is my new blogger friend who nominated my blog for the Liebster Award! Her blog, Diaries of an SG Dive Girl focuses on dive tips, destinations and travels. When shes not at the Sea, you can find her on facebook at SG Dive Girl . Since I moved closer to the water, I have been dying to get my license and go scuba diving too! Please share with me your first-time diving experiences!

What is the Liebster Award?

This award is a virtual award well known among the blogging community. It is used to show support for fellow bloggers while allowing new blogs to be discovered.

Kristin provided me with 10 questions to answer on acceptance of this award. This is a great chance to get to know me a little better!

What is your travel style? (Food, shopping, relaxed, luxury, adventure etc.)
My ideal style is luxury travel! Business class flights, champagne service, and the suite life! My favourite was when I stayed at the St.Regis in Abu Dhabi, UAE. There was butler service devoted to each room. I felt so spoiled having them pack my luggage on my last day :P.

My husband on the other hand loves adventure, hes still been talking about back-packing through Europe. I don’t think I am fit enough for that type of travel tho! We did however recently go to Iceland with our good friends Shel and Bryan, we rented a car and drove through the entire country in 7 days chasing waterfalls and exploding mudpots.
