Celebrating our EPIC Summer

Looking back, we had the most EPIC summer in Texas and Singapore! It's hard to believe everything we packed into those weeks...so many amazing memories! But all good things must come to an end, because the new school year was here. Before the first day arrived, Jeff and I were excited to treat the kids to some end-of-summer treats to cap off our amazing summer.

First up was a dining experience we've been telling the kids about for a while, AB's or Absolute Barbecues. It's an Indian restaurant Jeff first visited with his co-workers and we've been back several times. Of course, our kids aren't big on Indian cuisine, but we thought they would really enjoy the unique and fun dining experience.




First, you're seated at your table and served with multiple skewers of meat that are grilled directly on your table to enjoy. Then, you are able to enjoy an extensive buffet of Indian dishes or cook-to-order options. The kids enjoyed seeing the variety but ended up loving the chicken skewers and buttered Naan bread the most. The favorite part for Jeff and me are the table pass-arounds, such as spicy potatoes and fried corn. So yummy!





Of course, it was no surprise that everyone's favorite part of the meal was the extensive dessert buffet. There are many different individually sized desserts to enjoy along with a chocolate fountain for dipping fruits and brownies. But the HIT of the desserts (and the entire meal) is the ice cream bar with Cold Stone ice cream and mixings that are made to order. We all enjoyed multiple trips to the dessert bar and left overly stuffed and miserable!




Apparently ice cream is a love language for our family, because we found ourselves celebrating the end of summer on another occasion at the recently opened Mooyah store near our villa. Funny, we never at there before even though they have multiple Houston-area locations, but we sure enjoyed the Texas burgers and fries here in Dubai. Their milkshakes are now the kids' favorite ice cream treat and the perfect way to end summer on a high note.
