DFT in Dubai Part 1 - Davao, Food & Photography

Okay, so this a little late, about 2 months late :p but I would still like to share some of my adventures in the Golden City of Dubai where I was not only able to eat different dishes but also enjoyed picturesque scenes, not to mention quality time with my siblings.

Contrary to the popular belief that there are only few things to eat in Dubai because its in the Middle East, the city is rich with various restaurants of different cuisines and specialties. Lucky me that I was able to sample some of the best dishes and experience different culture in one vacation!

Now, lets make you crave and hungry!
