What a beautiful city, here is another time lapse of Dubai in 28 hours. Dubai is getting more advanced day to day with tourism, entertainment, economy, businesses and more. I most thing I found in Dubai is getting more expensive every visit I go to and that probably reflect more to the economy and taxes.

IMG_6531Nestle Toll House Cafe invited us for a blogger day celebrating the Grand Opening of their branch at The Avenues (Soku Phase). We reached their and welcomed by Nestle Cafe Management.

Nestle Cafe Operation Manager explained to us a brief information about Nestle Toll House Cafe. Nestle Cafe is founded by Ziad Dalal and his partner Doyle Liesenfelt, when the two partners joint venture together to sell Nestle Toll House home made cookies by creating up a cafe.

IMG_6574At that night, each blogger went to the baking zone and started baking the cookies, following by importing the cookies to the oven. Although before entering the cookies to the oven, the keyword which each staff have to shout out is “Be careful it’s Hot”. Then we did configure out the oven machine to and set up the timings.

After that, we went to the decoration area to choose the cream colours to decorate the cookies. So I sat thinking what to add on my cookies. Therefore, I started drawing Q8Path logo and writing up Q8Path title at the top. At the end of decorating my cookies, I loved it and it came really amazing.

Looking at the rest of the bloggers cookies, Q8Path cookies is the most well decorated and amazing. So I took also a photo both Q8path and Couch Avenue’s.

Nestle Toll House Cafe is now open officially at The Avenues (Soku Phase). Breakfast, Lunch, Desserts and Dinner is available, and don’t forget to take home Nestle Cookies.
