Jalan-jalan cari carpet in Abu Dhabi

Today, Putri, Syela, Anita and myself went to Abu Dhabi for our carpet shopping exploration. As per planned, i bought 1 carpet for my living room as i've started to treat that place as my own place. Before this, despite have been in Dubai for 8 months, i always treat it as my temporary shelter. So, i think i had started to adjust and accept the fact that i’m here now and better make the most out of it.

Syela is right, the carpets are cheap if compared to the price in Malaysia.
- Syela bought it earlier at 500Dhs, but the shop charge me 520Dhs..that's why long face. (Photo courtesy of Syela)



After carpet shopping, we went to Emirates Palace to see Picasso exhibition. Spent only 1.5 hours there. I guess we are not really art’s lover except for Anita but she’d been there 3 times already.

By the time we finish our art exploration, our tummy were screaming for foods. We had agreed earlier to have lunch at Suria in Eclipse Hotel, the one and only Malaysian restaurant in Abu Dhabi. So after checking with few friends for direction and after many-many u-turns, we manage to find the place.

All of us are so hungry that everything on the menu looks good (not that it has so many choices). We decided to go with Lunch Set. Popia as a starter, Nasi Ayam as main course and Pengat Pisang as dessert. Yummy, foods are good. It really taste like foods back home, taste of typical Malay foods sell at warung or gerai at the road side. But unfortunately service is really-really bad. At 1 point of time, Anita had to storm into the kitchen as there’s no waiting staff outside.

We reach Dubai at 5pm and i complained that the day is not productive but Putri abruptly said what’s not productive ?? we breakfasting in Emarat, go carpet shopping, we see Picasso, we tour Abu Dhabi (since we getting lost while looking for Suria), we makan in Suria. So it’s 5 things we manage to do today. Yes Putri, you are right.. as always :-)

Next trip, jalan-jalan cari carpet in Fujairah.
