Vii Love Soul with Bass Mic at Vii Dubai
Vii ❤️ Soul. Last night we had the pleasure of enjoying a live performance featuring soulful classics and hit music by the very talented @bassmicdxb and @joshmccartneymusic at the Vii Secret Garden in Conrad Dubai. Vii Love Soul night takes place every Monday from 8 pm onward at the Vii Dubai Terrace and this season is just right for experiencing this magical evening under the stars.
We paired our evening with Vii’s signature crafted cocktails, delectable sushi selection and hot dishes. Read on to find out more.
Jack Jam & Serenade
What can make good music even better? Good drinks of course. For the Vii ❤️ Soul night at Vii Dubai we started we these two concoctions highly recommended by our server. I really liked how he took time to inquire about our preferred flavors and the drinks he suggested were perfectly on point.
My date went with Jack Jam, which had Mr. Daniel’s muddled with blueberries, maple syrup and bitters, garnished with a slice of lemon and topped with blueberry jam. Quite a strong one that.
I kept it light with Seranade, a Cosmopolitan cousin, that brought together passion fruit and cranberry juices over a Grey Goose base. Very fruity and fresh, this was definitely in line with my taste.
Sushi
One of the good things about Vii Dubai is their selection of sushi. And trust me, the list is so long, you will be spoilt for choice. We opted for two of these: Ebi Katsu & Baked Hotate Ebi with chicken.
The former featured beautifully fried prawns rolled with cucumber pieces and sesame seeds that gave a fresh crunch in every bite.
The latter had grilled chicken topped with shrimps, fish eggs and lots of cheese. This one was a mix up of flavors and I couldn’t really distinguish one element from another.
I have to say, the Ebi Katsu was my favorite of the two. Fried shrimps are always a winner with me.
Green Mist & Basil Touch
The second round of drinks at Vii Dubai is what is like to call my version of going green. Gladly refreshing, both our choices were light and fruity.
The first one – Green Mist, was a sweet Malibu based cocktail with sweet flavors of pineapple and almond.
The second one – Basil Touch, came with a mix of basil, kiwi and sprite concoction over a Bacardi base, topped with lots of crushed ice.
The green hue of these drinks blended in perfectly with the secret garden vibes of the Vii Terrace.
Truffle Fries & Chicken Skewers
One of my favorites at Vii Dubai were these Truffle Fries, and the other ones were Homemade BBQ Chicken Skewers.
While the fries exuded that beautiful truffle aroma and flavor we all love so much, especially during this truffle season, the chicken skewers were quite arty, thanks to the grilled spinach centre and parmesan sour cream dressing.
Which one would you pick as an accompaniment with your drinks?
