Day 9 of PH Vacation. Last Day

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


It's our last day in Manila! Our luggage was packed and ready for our flight that night.

Mass in Manila Cathedral

Breakfast in Chowking

Before leaving the Philippines and because it's Sunday, we have to go to Mass. We attended the 8:30 am Mass in Manila Cathedral.

An hour before Mass, we had lunch for breakfast at Chowking.

Chinese-Style Pork Chop Lauriat

After Mass, we saw a taho vendor. Of course, I had to have taho again while waiting for our Grab Car.

We're back at Robinson's Place - Otis. My dad is waiting for us at Starbucks and we spent a good hour just exchanging stories about how the week went.

Lunch in Tokyo Tokyo

Then, we decided to have lunch at Tokyo Tokyo. I miss the Chicken Karaage and Beef Misono and wishes there were more!

NAIA Terminal 1

We were at NAIA at 1:00 PM waiting for the check-in counter to open. I was on the phone with mom just catching up. We got checked in, paid the terminal fee, and off to security.

After that, we were roaming around and checking the handful of shops available. I saw hopia and just had to buy some (even if it was ridiculously expensive). We decided to spend 1-2 hours in one of the coffee shops (not Starbucks) eating corned beef pandesal.

An hour before the flight, we walked near our gate and was munching on the Sour and Cream Lays. Boarding!

Bye Manila! See you in June for another busy week.

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

My first Philly Cheesesteak from The American Cheesesteak Co.

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
