We celebrated Mum's 60th Birthday at Pierchic. Pierchic is voted as the most romantic restaurant in Dubai. With its panoramic view of the Arabian Gulf, a backdrop of the Madinat Jumeirah, the Alantis Hotel and the Burj Al Arab which changes colour throughout the night, combined with the sound of sea waves, spectacular seafood and excellent service, Pierchic is no doubt the most romantic spot I have ever been in my life.
We first drove to Al Qasr Hotel and had the car parked by the hotel's friendly staff. Then we walked through the lobby and were greeted by everyone until we reached the ground floor entrance. A golf buggy took us from the hotel to the pier. The 15 minute buggy ride allowed us to have a good look at the Madinat Hotel. We even spotted a group of yogis practising yoga under the starry sky.
Once we reached the shore, we had to walk for about 5 minutes on a wooden bridge which connected the mainland to the restaurant. As suggested by its name, the restaurant was built on a pier. On the bridge, we had a fantastic view on the Dubai landmarks. The walk also provided us with a nice transition and prepped our mood for the dinner.
We were greeted warmly again at the end of the bridge. It was rather unfortunate because I forgot to book a table on the terrace during my phone reservation. We were seated indoors instead. Luckily we still managed to get a table with a reasonably good view.
We had the chef's recommendation: cold plate starter and seafood main course. The food itself was great, but it was the fine dining experience that was priceless. Knowing that Mum was the birthday girl, the restaurant served us a chocolate cake at the end of the meal too.

We had a great time. It was an unforgettable experience. Although this meal cost even more than what it did in Burj Al Arab, it was, in my opinion, worth every penny.
So to my dearest Mum: Happy Birthday and may every day of yours be filled with laughter and happiness. Catcat and I will always love you. :)

Lord... you definitely will have a hard time getting used to the ordinary fare in Singapore, when you return from Dubai. What would you eat then? :P
Ha. No way I am becoming a prima donna.
Well, at least not yet. Ha.
if i come to dubai during my birthday next year, will you treat me to dinner too???
I guess I will regret saying this later but yes I will give you a birthday treat if you are in Dubai because you've been taking care of my bills back home.
