Tagaytay City

ABBEY: I went to this place a couple of times but during our vacation we went here for their famous bulalo and to get the shot of Taal lake. With iur racer friend, John, we were in Tagaytay after an hour and a half. 


It's almost twilight so after table reservation we pose for our snaps with the lake. The volcano is magnificent; the water's so calm; and the breeze is cool. As the night sets in we became busy to fill our hunger with hot bulalo. After the dinner we went for coffee. We didn't left Tagaytay without buying buko pie and espasol. The trip is fun and enjoyable. :)







WILL: Due to its altitude and breezy weather, Tagaytay City is the little Baguio of the South. Only 1-2 hours drive from Manila, this city has the smallest and active volcano of the world. 
Stunning view from afar, Taal was surrounded by water, the Taal Lake. Hehe. 
      This is very famous for weddings, some short trips and their alley of restaurant offering Bulalo. You can also see everywhere the famous Collete's Buko Pie. 
      We hope, everything in here will be preserved most importantly the life of Taal Lake which gives living for many. 
Hope to see Tagaytay again for the nth time. Haha!

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol


ABBEY: Wow, another M.I. movie. I want to watch this to see the gadgets used in the film. Tom Cruise nailed it again as Ethan for the mission to be successful. My feet and hands became sweaty as he climbed Burj Khalifa. What amazed me the most is the BMW car. I've seen the replica of it displayed in Suntec Convention Center before the movie was shown in theaters. I thought I can only see that model of car in racing games. That was great. Just as the other M.I. movies the plot is simple but the effects are great.

WILL:  When the woman lit the light, ha!, all memories keep pouring. Me and my dad is a avid fan of this series. Those were the days. Omg! I miss him. 
       Ok, enough for going back, Mission Impossible is a great movie. A blockbuster indeed. Impossible for ordinary people but possible for agents with a great expertise and right gadgets. 
9/10. This is my kind of movie.

Seoul Garden

ABBEY: We got this 1 for 1 voucher from their Facebook fanpage. The contest is to name the different hot pots offered by Seoul Garden. Luckily we have been chosen as the winners. 

We tried to dine in their branch at Clementi Mall but it was full and the next available seat will be after an hour. We got the spot at Harbourfront Centre. I had bulgogi beef bibim bap. The dish is served in a bowl; hot rice is topped with soft flavorful beef. It was delicious. A dish starts at 15sgd. Next time we'll try their hot pot.







WILL: Well, I can say that Abbey is such a loco for Korean cuisine and because of it, we are still hunting for a great korean restaurant that will satisfy his cavings. ;)
      I am not fond of Korean foods, maybe I am not introduced to those kind of foods on my early age. Ha! And another reason, I do not like their kimchi.
      But here I am, dined at Seoul Garden. We won a 1-for-1 voucher and I ordered a chicken bimbim bap. Sarap! Shocks! Their chicken is so tender and the sticky rice goes well with it. The complimentary kimchi do not have this stench that I used to smell then I ate all it up. Ha! 
     Next time, we will try their buffet, hope this time, we will not wait for more than a hour.
