Wacko Grill Restaurant at Sterling Square Meycauayan Bulacan

ABBEY: We remembered Mama’s 4th death anniversary at Wacko Grill (Sterling Square) along with her siblings and in-laws. Wacko Grill offers a buffet for 199Php per person. 

They got siomai, lumpiang shanghai, chicken in creamy sauce, radish salad, java rice and desserts. The item that stands out in the menu is the fried belly then mix with kare-kare. 

Drinks are not included and need to be paid separately. As it is Filipino food, they are delicious. It is a good time to catch up with our Titos and Titas.

Wacko Grill Restaurant's Other Viands
WILL: Wacko Grilll offers "Eat All You Can Lunch Buffet". Oh! Where is this restaurant located? The booming city of Sto Niño, Bulacan. A few kilometres away from NLEX Meycauayan exit. In this restaurant we celebrated the 4th year anniversary of Mama Sweet's soul to Almighty. 

What you need to expect with your Php199 buffet? 8 viands, a special rice and desserts (drinks not included). 

My favorite? Crispy kare-kare. Hmmm! I have four rounds of it. Bye diet! Haha! The crispiness  of the meat and creamy kare-kare sauce! Oh my! Ditch out the bagoong, kare-kare can stand on its own.

San Rafael River Adventure - Experience Nature, Romance, & Serenity

ABBEY: San Rafael River Adventure is the place where we held our family reunion. It is an hour and a half away from Meycauayan. We stayed in their Glass Villa for three days and two nights. The villa is spacious: has two bathrooms, one master’s bedroom, one common room, two bunk beds and a private jacuzzi. 

You can bring your own food, buy them and cook or you can order from the resort’s menu. You can also try their water activities like jetskiing, speedboat, paddle board, kayak, and slides. Glamping is also offered. The place is very relaxing. There’s even no wifi :)

We want to commend Cedric for all the help he gave and meeting all our needs during our stay.



San Rafael River Adventure: Experience Nature, Romance, & Serenity


WILL: We seek and we found San Rafael River Adventure! Yeeeyyy! We do not need to battle the traffic of South just to have a relaxing place to stay for two days! 

So what's with San Rafael River Adventure that we immediately booked it? Well, it is their Glass Villa. It can accommodate 12 pax and it is just perfect to lodge our dad, three families and us.. couple. They have 2 rooms (queen size bed), 2 double-deck and a loft (single bed). 2 bathrooms, a long dining table and our own jacuzzi. The rate of Php24,000 per night includes set breakfast meal and the use of kayaks, floating slides and of course free fresh fruits just right off the tree (ask for permission before picking, ok?). 

Kids enjoyed the coldness of jacuzzi and pool, Papa RS love the kayak and they also tried boating. Abbey and RJ laughed their way to the inflatable slides. Me?, I enjoyed the serenity of the nature around me. The birds chirping, the cool breeze and the beautiful sunrise. The calm water of San Rafael River is so relaxing to stare. There's not much mosquitoes so do not be afraid. 

This place is pretty awesome and on our 2Nights-3Days stay we went for two photoshoots. 

Thanks San Rafael River Adventure for welcoming us and specially to Cedric who is always there in assisting and cooking for us. 

We highly recommend this place for relaxation, you do not need to go far on South or North, just in Bulacan you can find the relaxation you need the most.

The Café - Dinner Buffet, Hyatt City of Dreams Manila

ABBEY: This is where we dined upon arriving in Philippines. The Cafe is beside City of Dreams casino and a strong cigarette smell will welcome you but it will lighten as you went in the restaurant. 

It has a wide variety of food. They have sushi, sashimi, siomai, pork ribs, tempura and dumplings. They also have pasta, noodles, seafoods and sinigang na salmon. I made my version of halo-halo (banana, crushed ice, milk and leche flan on top). Cheese and cold cuts were also available. 

What I liked the most is the item at their carvery: roasted beef. It is tender and juicy and can be eaten on its own or with cracked mustard and other sauces.



The Café - Dinner Buffet, Hyatt City of Dreams Manila 

WILL: Abbey and I planned to have a House Of Abbey meeting at The City of Dreams' The Cafe, but due to unforeseen circumstances the head of construction department can't make it, so we just laughed and enjoyed the food. 

Our flight was delayed and happy to say that The Cafe's receptionist were quite attentive in taking our last minute changes. We arrived a little bit late on the reserved time. 

On the restaurant ambiance, you can feel that you are in an lavish place. Dim lights, cosy chairs and thick spoon and fork. Very good for a dinner-date indeed! 

On food, quite an array of choices and do not forget to eat a load of their beef at the carving area, their pork ribs and siomai! Oh my! Pasta, go for white sauce and cool off with their halo-halo! 

Roasted zucchini should not be missed and of course the mini cakes. If only I can enlarge my stomach so I can put all the food that I want. Haha. 

Of course, we got this with a discount through MetroDeal (Php1409.00). Thanks The Cafe of The City of Dreams and MetroDeal!
