Tara, Teh!

Better late than never! Ewan ko ba bakit inabot ng ilang buwan bago ako ganahang isulat to. Haha. But anyhow, let's go straight to the details: Le family ordered the package that's good for six people which was around P4,000 (I think). Ang susunod na mas maliit na package ay good for four, which is around P2,500? Please correct me if I'm all wrong kasi anong petcha na teh. Haha. Limot ko na, lalo na pag digits lol. Credits to my former boss for giving all of us under his team GCs Overall, kebs lang lasa. But when I say kebs, it signifies something not so "wow"-ish. Anyway, here are the photos from le bf's camera. Can't remember which one I shot, pero pag maganda, sa kanya yun for sure. Haha. Pag chakabels, mine. Peanuts: Libre ata ito. Or well, siguro naman sa P4,000 na presyo libre na ito. Haha. Labo. Pero ayun, kung may pinaka na-enjoy man ako, ito yun. Sweet sya. Di ko alam why, di ko tinanong basta masarap. At refillable. Haha ang babaw.  ...

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, par...

Pwede nang substitute sa Mr. Kebab (o Kabab?) sa bandang Trinoma. Haha! Seriously! Just for P39, solb na ang katawang lupa mo teh. It's kinda hard to believe na may ganitong kamurang foodang sa Makati, take note--na sa 9th floor ito ng Philam Tower, Ayala Ave. Sympre waley pa drinks. Mahiya ka naman sa dalawang bente pesos bills mong may sukli pang piso, no. Anong kala mo dyan, charity institution? I ordered Keema Meal. Ito yung P39. Others are about P59 each. Again, without drinks. Whichever you order, choose the spicy sauce to complete your Arabic experience.

Last week le family and I ate at my much-recommended resto, Recipe. May mga konting branches na rin ito around the metro but the one in Robinson's Place Ermita lang ang na-try ko na. The first time I ate there was almost a year ago and it was a wonderful gastronomic experience. Ang tanda ko noon, mura lang yung bill na binayaran ko. Mga P500 or less for three persons. We had 3 ulams if le memory is right. Oh well. Buti hindi ako ang taya this time. It ballooned to over P900 for four pax with just three ulams in place. Inflation drama? Chos. But everything still tasted remarkably well. The Bestseller: General's Chicken Gising-Gising What I surprised me the most: Daing Fillet As you might have noticed, halos ubos na yung mga foodang sa akin photos. Le me kasi nakalimutang piktyuran agad. And honestly, maliit ang servings nila. The Daing Fillet has a fried egg on top which surprisingly complements the teriyaki-tasting fish. And mind you, it's so easy to coo...

Hope I could have unlimited supply of this. Naubos ko na. But caffeine is a no-no for me. :| Wala lang. Pino-post ko lang piktyur. Haha. Babaw.  :( Many salamats sa aming kapitbahay na nag-donate nito sa amin ng nanay ko. LOLOLOL.

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. ...

This is actually a very late post but I'm happy to announce (naks) that the Dec-January 2012 issue of the Balikbayan Magazine is finally out in the market! The issue takes you to Marinduque's luxurious resort, Bellarocca, and lets you discover the inside of Malacanan Palace, among others. Get you copy in the country's major bookstores, hotels and resorts, fine dining restos, and in Duty Free! P.S. If you're a real friend, you will read my articles, especially the Malacanan Palace feature with le boyfriend as photographer. :P BTW, I've launched le boyfriend's photography blog, IceOverWater.blogspot.com. Photo lineup is way too incomplete, but at least we have something to develop already. Honestly, you could also view Balikbayan Magazine online: www.BalikbayanMagazine.com. Yes, it'll save you P150. :|
