Nice Hotel

ABBEY: Since high school we were aware of these as motorist hotels lined-up along EDSA and at the back of our alma mater. We stayed here after our Tagaytay trip since its too late for us to go home. I'm glad that I'm with my wife when I went here. 

Unfortunately the room that were assigned to us is not that nice. There's a small gap between the bottom of the aircon and the wall so we heard all the noise of vehicles from the outside. The shower drain seems to have clog. A plus for the hotel is their beautiful lobby and half-price rate since the branch near SM North EDSA just opened.

WILL: After Tagaytay, we arrived Manila just about midnight I think. Haha! I lost track of time since I am sleeping. 
As we agreed by John, we were alighted at Nice Hotel near SM North. This is a new hotel here and they offers 50%off. We availed 12hours and paid for not more than 600Php. 
      The room is too small as well as the bathroom. Since it was located just beside the EDSA highway, the vehicles' noise is disturbing. I am on the verge of calling the reception to request them to change the room. The blanket is too thin and the bed is too hard to be comfortable. 
      They have this tactic to call, I think they do this to every occupied room, to ask if they want food for breakfast. 
I hope for a higher standard on every room. 

Chic-Boy Chicken at Baboy Lechon

ABBEY: Chic-boy took a lot of heat last mid-December. Our experience there is good. We went there for dinner after a spa. we had pork liempo and chicken along with an order of adobong kangkong. Both the pork and chicken are flavorful. They complement well with hot rice. The soup came late but that doesn't make it any less delicious. 

Total bill is less than 2kphp for 4 pax. By the way eating here will make you full but not a "chickboy" :)

WILL: After a massage, Den and John drove us to Chic-Boy. This is located at west avenue. Awesome. The place has dim light that makes it cozy. 

      The food? OMG! Delicious and yet affordable. Oh, they also offered a sashimi. :) 

Mont Albo Massage Hut

ABBEY: John and Denise gave us this spa session as wedding gift. The spa is in the basement of University Hotel inside UP Diliman. The treatment is 750php (an hour of body massage and scrub) plus the ventosa add-on for less than 100php. Its very relaxing. That was the first time I had ventosa. Circle marks were at my back for a week. It was a rejuvenating experience for me and my wife.

WILL: When I am at Malaysia, John told me to have a massage that uses glasses. Haha! Ventosa it is! So Right there and then, I agreed and as our vacation comes near, I keep on asking Den about it. Siguro nakulitan, haha, she told me that it will be her treat for us. Hehe. Thanks Den and John, you have a kind heart! 
Actually they do not treat us for massage only, that session goes along with body scrub, massage and the "lamig-sucker" ... the ventosa. 
      The session last for almost 2 hours. The massage is great. The ventosa? Very good experience. 
      Almost all were a nice impression until... I am at their dresser putting some make-up, of course I will turn-on the lights, them one of the masseur came clicking the lights off. Weird isn't?  Kailangan lagi patay ang ilaw? The oil left a strong scent on our clothes. 
     This is located at downstairs of UP Hotel. Again! Thanks John, Denise and Janise! We really do love you guys!
