Shway Saturday

Okay, first things first: Title attributed to le boypren. Proud sya sa rhyme nyan.

Moving on: I felt like it's been ages since I updated this thing. Naipon na yung mga pwede kong i-blog :( Last March 10 I had another spa session with le boypren in Makati. This time it's in Perea St. cor Dela Rosa (tambling-away from Greenbelt 5) sa Shui Hilot Spa. Wrote it Shway sa title since they said it's pronounced that way. I dunno why I didn't ask what's with the name. Anyway.

Just so to burst your bubble, it wasn't great. Nothing. BUT A+++ for the courteous staff (except for le boypren's masahista na nakikipagchikkahan sa masahista ko via bulong. Kahit bulong yun teh malamang sa malamang, rinig yun). Anyway. We availed of a voucher AGAIN online. Haha. Nasa mga 300php lang each.

We had ventosa. I was so curious about it pero learned na waley lang pala effect. I dunno what's it's supposed to feel e. Basta may cup sa likod ko, tapos. Then, yung massage, parang kinakalat lang ni ate yung oil. :((

Yung venue naman was a bit old school so kebs. Sympre mas modern, mas feeling mo malinis. In their case, luma na rin kasi yung mismong building. Don't care. BUT ang award sa spa na ito ay ang hirap mag-pa-reserve ng slot. GRABE. Haha. Way too many voucher buyers. One month hinintay namin for this. Oh well.

Bottomline: We won't come back :( Didn't bother to take photos.

TonTon Massage at The Fort

After much recommendation from le boyfriend, we finally got to try TonTon Authentic Thai Massage together at The Fort. It's a very short walk from my office in BGC. Despite its high end location, the price is surprisingly affordable. The 1-hr whole body massage is at P350 and you could choose to have back or foot massage only for the same duration and price. That's usually the discounted price for those not-so-popular massage havens in online coupon sites already, and yet it's just TonTon's original rate. Photos from their official FB   (The entire area was so dark that it would make no sense to take photos from my phone) Just like in another Thai massage parlor in Makati called Nuat Thai (P250 per hour), the intro of the whole session was a couple of minutes spent in soaking feet in warm water. Sabi ni boyfriend it might contain something else aside from water since iba yung dulas na pakiramdam once dried na ang feet. Anyway, after that, the massage starts. ...

Casa Roces Restaurant

Ode to Quezon How does dining like a president sound to you? When I first learned that I’m about to experience such a unique food trip, it seemed that my taste buds couldn’t wait a day more.  Forget the continental breakfast.  I’m about to have a presidential breakfast. It all started with a simple online search that led me to the Facebook page of the Malacañang Food and Heritage Tours.   As the name suggests, the tour package consists of a guided tour inside the walls of the Philippines’ presidential residence as well as a gastronomic delight where one would be served the favorite breakfast meals of some of the past and current presidents of the country.  The package offers a one-of-a-kind dining experience at the posh Casa Roces Restaurant that stands just across the former Malacañang Press Office Building at the corner of JP Laurel and Aguado Streets. One can choose from the following breakfast sets:  Ilocandia Flair, Ilustrado Comfort...

Toastbox, my happiness in a box!

I've been eyeing this uber-cute resto ever since I started working in The Fort, Taguig. Reason was the interior including the comfort room looks like my dream bedroom and the photos of the foodah on the menu look so deliciously sinful. But given the interiors, I knew that that resto would require me to either withdraw a handsome amount of money at my ATM or wash the dishes in exchange for payment. I was wrong. Photo from their official Facebook Fan Page One fateful day, my officemates and I finally acknowledged the fact that we'll be forever craving about this Toastbox unless we give our curiosities a chance to taste it. Sweldo day ata yun kaya malalakas ang loob. O sya, upon entrance, we went directly to the cashier where the pictures of the foodah are placed on a poster above. I saw their noodles ranging from P180-P200++ so I immediately disregarded ordering one. Besides, I'm there for the TOAST. I asked "ate" in the counter about their bestseller toast b...
