fab marketing from jumeirah's point of view mind...getting loads of people paying over the top prices in an otherwise unused space...

oh yeah we had a good time, bollocks to teh crab though, baps is right, 120 D's in an outrage, and it looked more like crab bolognese.

I had chicken dumplings, chicken satay and 6 or 7 tiger beers as the sun set and some half decent band played - we very chilled and rather nice.

the crab was awful for sure...and the whole point of the festival, surely, was to grab some crab, not chicken stuff (eeuuwww...and the satay was awful, our first lot wasn't even cooked we had to send it back...)
