Day 8 of PH Vacation. Food and Pre-Cana Seminar

By Celine -
This post is first of my PH vacation series:


It's Saturday and our last full day in Manila. We have a Pre-Cana Seminar at 1:00 PM.

Binalot Breakfast

We had Binalot for breakfast. Yum yum!

Tocino, Tapa, and Boneless Bangus with Rice and Salted Egg served on banana leaves

The Old Spaghetti House Lunch

We had The Old Spaghetti House for lunch.

Golden Crusted Chicken, Ham and Cheese Crepe with Angel Hair Pomodoro (my favourite!)

Chicken Parmigiana with Spaghetti Pomodoro

Manila Cathedral

Manila Cathedral outside

We arrived at Manila Cathedral at around 12:30 pm and was able to witness a portion of the wedding ceremony which gave us an idea on how our special day would look like. I took photos of the flowers and asked a lot of questions to the security guard as well as the maintenance folks.

Pre-Cana Seminar

The Pre-Cana Seminar is from 1 in the afternoon up to 6:30 in the evening. There was a 30-minute break and it discussed family life as a married Catholic couple among other things.

Max's Dinner

After the seminar, Jomar and I went to Max's Fried Chicken for dinner near Manila Cathedral. I thought the Max's in Vancouver is so much better; Jomar said it's the same. Well, it's definitely cheaper.

Packing

Given that it's our last night in Manila, we had to start packing our things as we prepare for our flight.

Last October 2013, I was able to visit the City of Naga and below is my food trip in CamSur. Casa Moderna Freshly baked bread on a huge brick oven and some Pancit for snacks on a lazy afternoon. That's how I enjoyed the soft pastry and meaty Pancit in Casa Moderna. Currently, they have five branches all in Naga City. Be sure to visit at least one of them. Meaty Palabok

Growing up in the Philippines, I only heard of the famous Philly Cheesesteak in movies or when watching Food Network. Thus, it shouldn't come as a surprise that last Satuday was the first time I tried a Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co. in Vancouver. I have an uncle and cousins in Philadelphia and when I visit my goal is to try a Philly Cheesesteak while in Philly. The same way I was so estatic to eat Japanese Katsu Curry in Japan and Vigan Empanada in Vigan. The American Cheesesteak Co. Jomar and I went to St. Paul's Hospital for the last weekend of Lights of Hope and decided to have dinner here. Why? First, it's close to Granville Street where we will take the bus going home and second, I remember seeing the You Gotta Eat Here episode featuring them. Therese and I are attempting to try most of the restaurants John Catucci went to. Here's a map of restaurants the show visited in BC as of Season 5. The Philly VS New Yorker Since it's

Food Trip near La Salle Taft: Exile on Main Street

+Joshua  has been raving that we try this restaurant along Leon Guinto Street, walking distance from De La Salle University-Manila. Last August 16 (Saturday), we (+Jomar, +Wayne, and Mitch) gave it a shot. We went there a little before 6:00 PM, and thankfully, we arrived at that time! There's a board games night (every Saturday from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM) organized by a group of people so the place could get noisy and crowded during Saturday evening. According to Josh and his friend, it's not usually like that. The Service The service is okay. The waiter who served us didn't smile at all. He also looked tired and impatient. At first, I was a bit disappointed by that, but I just told myself that it's okay. I mean, I could imagine how tired he might be running around getting and serving orders from all the people inside such a small place! Still, the service could have been better. The Food What it lacked on service, it compensates with the yummy food.  +Wayne  h
