ABBEY: We went to Overeat @ Marina One to meet the winners of our October giveaway. There is literally a lot of choices. We started with fresh salmon and tuna (there is no tuna left when I went back the second time) sashimi while the lala, fish and crab balls, pork slices are being boiled in the hotpot. Yes, they do have hotpot. Just grab a pitcher of your preferred soup from the station.  I also had braised pork which no need of chewing; the fat and meat just disintegrate. Hahaha. I enjoyed peeling a couple of shrimps as well as the crunchy crust of the sweet beef slices along with the fried rice. It’s also worth mentioning the mac and cheese. I need to wait for its refill to get my serving. The chocolate ice cream went well with the coffee.  You can also have unlimited drinks for additional charge. Visit Overeat and get to see Marina One magnificent building.  Marina Bay's Cheapest Buffet: Indulge in Singapore's Ultimate All-You-Can-Eat with Hotpot Buffet! WILL:  ...

ABBEY: We’ve been anticipating our visit to Blake’s Wing & Steaks as our kuya recommended it. We gathered the family there for dinner. No reservations. Our host gave us a big table enough to sit us comfortably.  Our order included nachos, chicken wings (honey chipotle, Korean Snowing Cheese, truffle parmesan), pesto and carbonara pasta, and their signature pork ribs. I like the honey chipotle as flavor didn’t overpower the taste of the chicken. The pesto pasta can improve if more basil is on it. The pork ribs are fall off the bone however don’t mistake the fat with juiciness. Also it is slathered with the sauce; like the char though. I admit we order too much and have them to go. The servings are for sharing.

He suggested Blakes. Initially, we planned to go to the...

ABBEY:  As our schedule was packed, we decided to stay in a couple of hotels in Manila to save time and be in close proximity to our destinations. Privato Quezon City: This hotel is lovely and quiet. It's clean, and we had ample space in our room. They even reheated our 'takeaway' food from our loved ones and provided us with some medicine when we caught the flu. For sustainability, they offer a water refilling station in the lift lobbies. They could improve by ensuring that basic amenities and toiletries are readily available in the room without guests needing to call the front desk. Privato Ortigas: I wouldn't recommend this one. Despite a warm reception at the front desk, the room did not meet our expectations. This was after we stayed for more than a week at their branch in Quezon City. The mattress and sheets had stains and holes, the air conditioning unit was leaking, the bidet hose was rusty, and there were cockroaches. We thought we would be given another ro...
