Philippines Trip, Week 5

Ate Taiwanese food (xiao long bao, 3-cup chicken, beef cold cut, beef noodle soup, dumplings, tofu, tripe?) at Tien Ma and Filipino-Chinese maki & siopao at Masuki (the place Dad used to go to when he was young).

June 24: Summer Palace lunch.

Dim sum: chicken feet, beef ball, pork spareribs, shrimp dumpling; radish cake.

 

Cold marinated chicken. Sticky rice.

 

Beef & veggie soup (stew).

Walked to SM Mega Mall Fashion Hall to see the brand-new DC Super Heroes Cafe! :D Unfortunately, they'd been unprepared for the huge crowd and insanely long lines (4 hours!) at the grand opening the day before and ran out of everything, so they were temporarily closed to prepare to re-open the next day. D: Can't believe I missed this trip "highlight" on my last day! T_T Still, took lots of pics of the cool DC-themed design & decor!

Superman & Batman stained glass windows inspired by the iconic Jim Lee covers!

Justice League door panels!

Next time I'm in Manila, I definitely will go to the DC Cafe to eat and take a closer look inside.
Went back to Summer Palace for a refreshing mango cream sago dessert.

Finally, to the airport and the loooong return journey.
