Qatar Cinema: Skyfall James Bond 007 Movie

Didn't realize that this movie will be showing in Qatar Cinema so soon! Yay - another movie shot in Istanbul. It is really time to visit Istanbul again. Such beautiful country that this is not the first James Bond movie taken in this setting. And for sure this will not be the last. Really missing Constantinople! And we are so excited to for the entire family to visit the country again!

For the mean time, we are considering watching the movie! It is already showing in City Centre and Villagio Cinemas.

Another James Bond Movie shot in Istanbul! 

Let's just hope we have the energy to watch! ;)

Relax, Enjoy See a Movie!
 

Doha Breakfast: The Mango Tree

The Mango Tree is just beside Carluccio's in The Pearl and eversince we had breakfast in Carluccio's we have been curious about The Mango Tree. And we went in  such a perfect timing - they were offering Buy 1, Get 1 Breakfast Free during the Eid holidays. 

It was such a refreshing feeling to have Asian fancy breakfast at a big discount! Score! Although we find the prices a tad expensive (without the promotion), the customer service is really superb and notable. The food tastes so delectably Asian - of course, we love it so much! 

The ambiance is great, we had the option to dine alfresco but since the weather is still humid, we preferred to be seated inside where the setting is for real fancy dining. Not just Asian - fancy Asian. 

We were given sample drinks - which we love and there's a free appetizer which the kids devoured in seconds. We just love  free stuff! 

The breakfast is a combination of Western and Asian - like enjoying two worlds in one place - it's very rare we enjoyed this breakfast in Doha. Maybe another big factor is that the kids were entertained by the bar tender! It was peace and quiet breakfast. 

Now wondering if they still offer the buy 1, get  1 breakfast. 

Until then, here goes our photo blog: 

free appetizer -  the Turk loved this as they have the same dish back home!

Thai fried bread

Our sample of Thai Coffee - really good coffee!

Just too much condensed milk - was too sweet for our taste but otherwise - it was really good!

our free sample of smoothies!

kids love the sample but we didn't order any hahaha!

our family shot at The Mango Tree breakfast! 

Egg and Steak breakfast for the kids! 

Thai breakfast for Mommy!

Thai Breakfast for Daddy!

French Toast with filling is really sinfully good - burp!

Breakfast is indeed the most important part of the day - especially if it's Asian! Hahaha

How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween

How to Carve a Pumpkin for Halloween!

Another photo blog of our most recent adventure on pumpkin carving. We made it a family event and it was loads of fun. Here is how we carved the pumpkin and enjoyed the adventure.


1. Prepare pumpkin, the tools (scooper, knives) and pattern.

2. Don't forget to ask the assistance of the ever supporting parents! And make sure that the brother is tamed in his own place.

3. Check the freshness of the pumpkin. Make sure that the little baby sister gives a go ahead.

4. Cut the top off using a  long knife. Cut through the stem end of the pumpkin. This may be too tricky for a six-year old princess so be sure that the boys in the family help!

5. Scrape out the pumpkin seeds and pulp! 

6. Outline the pattern on the pumpkin.

7. Trace out the pattern chosen on the pumpkin.

8. Enjoy the tedious work of cutting all the way through the pumpkin based on the pattern!

9. Don't forget to whine you are tired to get assistance. It is a very tough job! ;) 

10. Pose with the carved pumpkin and feel proud. 

And that's how to carve a pumpkin Kylie the Turknoy style!
