Date night at Tribes, Mall of the Emirates

Adrian and I fancied something a little different for our recent date night, so we took ourselves off to Tribes in Mall of the Emirates.

African themed and tucked away in the corner of the fashion dome, it’s not the kind of place you’d expect to come across when browsing (window licking more like!) in the likes of Chanel and so on nearby . And that is precisely why we liked it. The food was hearty and unpretentious, if a teeny bit exotic, and there was a lovely relaxed atmosphere with lots of families, shoppers and locals in situ. We came away with full bellies and wide smiles thanks to the hilarious staff, who were all from different parts of Africa which added to the authentic vibe of the place.

Hakuna Matata, Tribes, Mall of the Emirates

We started with Hakuna Matata (otherwise known as “no worries” – a rather epic name for a dish I think you’ll agree), an absolute monstrosity of meat, fish and more meat high on a big glass serving dish. Adrian basically ate all the fish and I spend a good twenty minutes inhaling a wondrous beef creation encased in perfectly flaky pastry.

By the time our main courses arrived, I was feeling a little bit nervous. Massively stuffed from the starter, the thought of tackling wagyu steak was enough to make me adopt a slight green tinge. I needn’t have worried however, because when it arrived – oh my, wagyu steak done right really is one of the best things in the world to eat. It was seriously tender and I didn’t even share any with Adrian after he had finished his ribeye version.

We did order dessert too but that nearly did me in (a melty, gooey and distinctly moreish chocolate cake). I might have been holding my sides at that point just to make sure I didn’t burst. Our server on the night was Kopo, a hilarious dude from South Africa who finished off our visit by busting out a few moves, as you do!

If you’re looking for a quick bite when you’re in MOE, or if you’re a major meat lover then this is a good spot to visit. Just make sure you go there with an empty stomach! 🙂

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
