Lunch at Jebel Ali Club

Located near Ibn Batutta Mall, this is a nice place safe the houseflies which are clearly the most dominant species of insects in Dubai. We came here after our very frustrating meeting with the HSBC folks at Jebel Ali. HSBC had botched up our big funds transfer to our US account. With the evidence laid clearly before them, they still refuse to admit liability.

Pork knuckles (so haram!) is available here. I opted for a safe seafood pizza and Daisy had carbonara. Our lunch was interrupted by a call from our HSBC relationship manager. I was really upset and told him to get the details from the officer at their Jebel Ali branch. At this point of writing the money has not yet been returned to our account. It is has been almost two weeks already! Like they say, this is Dubai!

As always Dubai looks like the prettiest pearl from far away. Come and live in the pearl and you will understand that beauty is indeed only skin deep. Even as I write, this porcelain beautiful skin is peeling from want of moisturiser (liquidity) under the scorching sun.
