Al Zomorod Ramadan Tent at The St. Regis Doha

-

Every year, I always look forward to celebrating the holy month of Ramadan in Doha. What excites me the most is the great number of stunning Ramadan Tent pop-ups – that is traditionally found in many Muslim countries! During this time, Doha’s dining scene is always all out to give you the best of your Ramadan experience. 





A few weeks ago, I got the privilege to attend Ramadan Ghabga in Al Zomorod Ramadan Tent at St. Regis. What is Ramadan Ghabga? It happens between Iftar and Suhoor, around 8:30 PM till 10-ish in the evening. The Al Zomorod Tent is located on the ground floor of the hotel. 





Disclaimer: Although I was invited by The St. Regis Doha Hotel, this write-up is meant to be an honest review of my experience. I was not asked by the hotel’s management to post about this and there’s no intention of bragging. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 





The tent is overwhelmingly large. As you step in, you will be welcomed by the elegant setting of the tent with sparkling lanterns from the ceiling. A live Arabic band is there to keep the guests entertained while savoring their foods. Each table was filled with Ramadan essentials like dry fruits, dates and of course, a bottle of water. 









Private majilis are available if you want to have intimate dining with your beloved family and friends. During Sohour, you are allowed to have hookah indoor (which is for me, a not a good idea at all) but during Iftar, you are only allowed to have it at their outdoor seating area.









The food here did not disappoint. 





The fancy feast boasts live cooking stations and Ramadan drinks. Indulge yourselves in an open buffet of exciting traditional & authentic Arabic favorites. They also have a good selection of staples from Indian and Asian cuisines & some international dishes as well. There was a separate counter for grills like shishtawook, lamb, kebabs outside the hall. 

















My favorite was the roasted duck and the Japanese section! I kept on coming back for the salmon salad with crumbs, kani salad and their own version of shrimp ceviche. They also have variety of sliders that your kids will surely love! Don't forget the fries!

















For the desserts, they’ve got a large selection of popular Arabic sweets and international desserts. There was a live crepe cooking station, an ice cream bar and a separate stall for Turkish ice cream. Emirgan Sutis was also there to serve the guests with their signature Turkish coffee.

























Overall, it was a good experience! Al Zomorod Tent is a good option for Iftar/Suhoor. I can say that they've got an extensive spread of foods to choose from. The dessert section, which they've placed in the center of the Ramadan tent, was lavish! Let The St. Regis Doha Hotel add glamour to one of your Ramadan nights.

Simple Guide to Bangkok

A couple of months back, I visited Bangkok with my mom and my sister. Bangkok is the capital city of populous Thailand and one of the famous cities in South East Asia. Although we only got the chance to visit the main city, we were still surprised by how vibrant and lively it was. Good thing, we decided to stay there for a week. It gave us ample time to experience some activities that the city has to offer. Bangkok is one of the places that will make you come back for more! Probably because of the foods, shopping scene, nightlife, cheap finds, quirky cafes, name it! There's always something new to this place! The city serves the right mix of culture, food, affordability and of course, shopping. To help you a bit with your planning for your Bangkok trip, here are some notes that you might want to consider. VISA For Filipino passport holders, a visa is not applicable. We can enter the country without the visa and stay there for up to 30 days. However, do not get too confident. You st...

1 week in Bangkok, Thailand

Have you been to Thailand? If so, did you consider visiting or staying for at least a few days in Bangkok? How did you find Bangkok? Is it worth visiting for? These were my questions to my friends who have already gone to Thailand while I was plotting our itinerary. Many people told me not to visit Bangkok if I will visit Thailand because it is crowded, humid, trashy and the list goes on. However, with all its madness, I know Bangkok has something unique to offer.  With only a week to spend in Thailand, squeezing in so many spots to visit within the country is definitely not enough. Therefore, we just decided to stay in Bangkok and visit its nearby neighboring areas. Our itinerary consists of night markets, few Thai temples, a day tour to a place that is only a few hours away from the main city and yes, a lot of shopping!!! ITINERARY Day 1 Arrival in Bangkok Checked-in at The Base Sukhumvit 77 *booked via Airbnb.com* Shopping at Chatuchak Market Dinner at Chatuchak Market Night m...

Wearing Colors Under the Scorching Heat

Winter is officially over and summer has finally landed back in Doha! As the temperatures continue to rise, it is also the perfect time for a refreshing dip in an icy-cold pool, isn't? Time to take out those trendy sunnies, pull out your cutest dress, wear those slouchy trousers and seize the day. Don't forget to put on some sunscreen! Getting ready for summer is much easier than getting ready for winter. It's effortless, light and affordable too. But, staying cool and looking cool in this hot and humid AF weather is not easy! That is the reason why a lot of people stick to light-colored clothes because they tend to absorb the heat less. Despite the heat that we’re currently experiencing here in the sandpit, and although white/pastels are the preferable colors this season, wearing clothes that are brimming with colors under the sun’s scorching heat is also becoming a thing now. Bright colors can actually be worn year round. You just have to figure out how to balance th em p...
