We’ve just sent our bumper November issue to print and we’re feeling pretty chuffed about it, so we’re going to do what Emirates Woman does best – get glammed up and take advantage of what the UAE has cooked up for us this weekend…
PARTYING WITH FRED PERRY AND JAGWAR MA
For a while now we’ve been hearing intriguing stories about the exclusive ‘underground’ event Sub-Sonic Live that the British street fashion brand has been throwing around town and this Thursday (October 22), for the first time, everyone is invited. The headline act is Jagwar Ma – a Sydney-born, London-based electronica band specialising in very dreamy and danceable sounds. They’ll be supported by Kuwaiti DJ Zahed Sultan and local DJ Andy Buchan. Tickets are limited to 500, and are available at Fred Perry stores or here.
LEARNING LOCAL HISTORY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHY
Sharjah Museums are hosting the fifth edition of their annual Lasting Impressions series that aims to highlight the work of important artists in the region who have an extensive body of work. This year features the work of the late Emirati photographer Noor Ali Rashid who is considered to be a pioneer of photojournalism in the region. Over a 60-year period he amassed over a million images capturing spectacles and ordinary moments of the region and the historic moments in the formation of the UAE. The exhibition runs from October 22 to December 6. For more information visit here.
EXPLORING THE NEW MENU AT HAKKASAN
Hakkasan, the home of modern Cantonese cuisine in Dubai, has a brand new seasonal menu we’re exciting to sample. While taking inspiration from Hakkasan’s International Development Chef Ho Chee Boon, Hakkasan Dubai’s Chef Andy Toh takes special delight in creating dishes with the local diner in mind – “The new dishes are derived from our ongoing conversations with guests, who enjoy being able to choose from a combination of Hakkasan’s classic signature items and dishes which are created specifically with them in mind.” So what can you expect? Try these sumptuous delights: osmanthus wagyu beef rib eye, wok-fried sweet and spicy scallops and braised sea treasure supreme soup, inspired by a customary Chinese fish broth that usually features heavy tones of Chinese black vinegar and pickled green chilli. Yes please! For reservations call (04) 384 8484 or email reservations@hakkasandubai.com
