##February travel support event #Manila #Ho-kangs Aqua Novotel Suites Manila The room was spacious and clean, starting at 100,000 won per night, so I was very satisfied with my stay for about 3 days! The breakfast didn't have many food options, but it was really clean and nice. The view was also really nice, without being stuffy! There's a shopping mall nearby by car, so I recommend it! #January travel support event

#timetotravel This restaurant really deserved the 1 michelin star. The food is great and the service is amazing. The restaurant itself is not that big so if you are coming here with a big number of people then I suggest that you book in advance. This was my first time trying out their food but not the first time for my family so I was really looking forward coz my family wanted to eat there again and that is a good sign right? When people go back to a restaurant that they have been to, that only means one thing, they like the food and the service! Address: The Podium, Ortigas. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #foodie #restaurant #philippines

Best of both worlds because Yoshimeatsu is unlimited servings of Korean bbq and Japanese food. Dropping at Unit 03 Sunshine Square, Mandala Park, Shaw Blvd, Pleasant Hills, Mandaluyong City, you will find Yoshimeatsu. I take unlimited sevings of kimchi, ebi tempura, sushi, kani salad, lettuce, soup, rice and the fresh meats like shoyu and curry beef, shoyu pork etc for my grilling experience. Everything is pretty good, tasty and delicious. As I grilled for my meat, I am ready to get smoke. I wrap my meat and kimchi with lettuce leaf and I get a full kick of korean flavor. For my dessert, I try the ice cream and it is perfect to conclude my unli meal. At 549php, the price is a real value for money to satisfy my cravings! The dining experience is level up. #foodie#CelebrateWithTrip#mytripvlog

Tom's Star Sisig and Family KTV is located in 98 Coronado Street, Hulo, Plainview, Mandaluyong City. Arriving from the NAIA Terminal 2 airport, I proceeded with my group to the restaurant 24 min away which is 11.4 km. I ordered crabs, shrimps, rice and bangus belly soup. It was a wonderful filipino dining experience with ktv music during the meal. We rented ktv room that accomodates 20 people for 6,750 php for 3 hours of which 6,000 php is consummable of food and drinks. Food is deliciously and freshly prepared. We ended the dinner time full of laughters and memories.#celebratewithtrip#tripblazers#mytripvlog#foodie#ktv

I always see The Giving Cafe whenever I go to work every morning. However, today is the first time I visited it. The place did not disappoint me. I love their creative interior which uses local materials and perfectly blends both old and modern designs and decorations. We ordered their coffee and their carrot and blueberry cheesecakes. Their coffee reminded me of the coffee that the elderly used to serve in the province during rainy days. The perfect blend of native coffee, sugar, and fresh milk made me order another cup. The Giving Café is designed to be a haven for people looking to indulge in coffee experiences served with both excellence and compassion. TGC is a social enterprise program created by Henry & Sons to support the Foundation for Sustainable Coffee Excellence in its aim to bring the Philippines back to the global coffee spotlight through sustainable local coffee farming. #newyearadventure #tripblazers #mytripvlog #foodie #passionpassport #celebratewithtrip #awesomepic #urbanexplorer

New Year's good luck foods promise Prosperity, Wealth and Good Fortune. With so many of them as pork, fish, beans, fruits, corn bread, noodles, eggs etc. so I decided to take my dinner meal at the beginning of the year at HEAT BUFFET at Edsa Shangri-La Plaza, Lobby Level, Tower Wing, 1 Garden Way, Ortigas Center. With Asian and Continental cuisines, they give me a gastronomic delight, a positive feeling of satisfaction and delectable food presentations to begin with 2023. I am sure all the lucky foods are available in this sumptuous dinner that are appetizing, delightful, enjoyable and heavenly experience for only 2,500 php but the red wine is not included. True enough, a bountiful New Year! #newyearnewadventure #mytripvlog#tripblazers#celebratewithtrip#foodie#urbanexplorer #restaurant #buffetdeals

#celebratewithtrip I was craving for a "paluto" as in "lutong bahay" (food cooked in the house) other than fast food. I discovered Carlito's Seasig Seafood Paluto in Shaw Boulevard 574 Brgy. Highway Hills 1st District in Mandaluyong City. I ordered the following: 1. Sinigang na Tuna Belly sa Miso which is tuna belly in tamarind with miso savored salty flavor. 2. Adobong Pusit which is the squid cooked with soy sauce and vinegar, garlic and laurel. 3. Sizzling Pork Sisig which is the pig's parts like ears and face cooked with onions, chili peppers and calamansi. 4. and a big rice platter Yes... it is a very yummy experience. I feel good and great with this unique Filipino food trip.#mytripvlog#tripblazers#foodie#foodtrip#paluto

Address - BSA Twin Towers is located at St. Francis Square in Mandaluyong City. Ambiance/Facilities - It has 40 plus floors and eight elevators that serve the guests in Towers A & B. The hallway of each floor is quite dark I must say. Highlights - Firstly, it’s across SM Megamall so that’s the main reason why I chose to stay here! The room on the 44th floor of Tower A where I first stayed at was very comfortable and homey. It was spacious and it’s got a couch and nice view of the city center. The staff was accommodating. There was bit of lowlight, the two rooms I stayed at in Tower B were not as big as the one in Tower A and quite unused that I felt it wasn’t really well-maintained. Avg. Price per Person - Trip.com price was reasonable! Rating - 8 out of 10 #staycation #hotel #luxuryhotel
