Country Style

ABBEY: Wilma and I both reminisced the breakfasts and snacks that we had when we saw their branch at SM Marilao. She introduced me to Country Style in Salcedo, Makati . A doughnut or sandwich costs less than 50php. I like their breakfast sandwiches and Triple Choco Boom. Perfect match for my chocolate doughnut is coffee. We grabbed a dozen of Triple Choco Boom for both our families and they like it too.



WILL:  This cafe gave us so many memories. At their Salcedo branch, Abbey and I do our morning date. Haha! 
       Triple choco boom is my favorite. Dough, toppings and fillings are all chocolate flavored. But do not get me wrong, it is not that too sweet! I am so addicted at their bagel ham and cheese. Great alternative and cheaper than krispy kreme. Hehe.

BonChon Philippines - Trinoma Branch

ABBEY: My wife's niece, Ynnah, is on the hype of Korean fever. We had a day with the kids and asked them where should we eat our snack. 

Ynnah replied readily "At Bon Chon". I had no idea what it was. Wilma told me that its a Korean fast-food chain. A 1-piece chicken meal costs more than 100php but reasonable. 

The chicken is covered with delicious sauce. I don't know what its made of but it tastes great. The texture is firm but soft and juicy. I assume that they enjoyed it too as I didn't heard any violent reaction from them.













WILL: This restaurant is making a buzz not just in Manila but also in other countries. This is one of the famous restaurant from South Korea and I am really shocked that my niece do not know anything about this. Hehe. 
      Ecstatic she is, we headed here for lunch. They ordered chicken rice, for me I have the chicken burger and abbey got the beef bulgogi. 
     Superb! There is something in their chicken and sauce that is so tasty! No wonder that they are now the talk of the town. 
This is located at TriNoma, just along at Max's. Battle of the chickens ayt? Haha.

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.
