Coffee Talk#2 Hyatt Regency

for our coffee talk 2, we went to Hyatt Regency. nestled at the boundary of Deira and Bur Dubai, and facing the gulf sea, Hyatt stands elegantly as it did some 15-20 years ago, being one of the oldest hotels in dubai. despite the years, it has caught up well aesthetically with the newer ones... we had a good resource person that evening who even treated us for dinner! yum yum! we dined in at The Kitchen savoring ceasar salad for starter, then nasi goreng and seafood rice noodles for the main course. i loved the food! just perfect taste and quantity! i think we enjoyed it so much that we did not realize it was already past eleven!!

later, after a good two burps, we knew it was time for coffee!!! for the remaining 30 minutes, we went at the lobby side of the hotel, and threw ourselves comfortably in their soft cushion sets! our friend had to leave just before the Coffee talk so Mano and I are left on our own. i ordered almond choco drink, while she ordered macchiato, and we shared the tiramisu which is delicious! the almond choco is good for a non-coffee drinker like me...

the ambiance was great, and there was a good vertical space giving ample air to really breath and indulge in relaxing! we were strategically seated at the aisle of the main hotel hall, so people watching was action-packed! it occured to me that there was really a downpour of men on this side of the planet, as we noticed that there were only a handful of ladies walking around! while Mano and i were seriously discussing, a group arrested my attention-- three men and a baby! the baby was oh-so-cute, and so was one of the guys, who seated 3 meters across us with a very good angle for surreptitious glances! haha!
the remaining minutes were spent just talking about random topics, but this time, with more pauses and gaps of silence... we just let our eyes and brows do the talking! this is one of the rare times when Mano and I are silent... hooray!


at 12 midnight, we both smiled and sighed... another coffee talk is over...

Hotel rating:
almond chocolate and tiramisu = very good
service = fair (we waited for 10 min before someone got our order)
ambiance = very good! good music too!
experience = very good! i think we will repeat this!
