Philippines Trip, Week 4

June 15: quick browse of Lucky Chinatown Mall w/ cute shops like Korean Mumuso...

Ironically, we ate at Pancake House (marinated beef/pork w/ egg, rice, & salsa was meh). Got Daiso keychain souvenirs for R & M. ^^ Also bought hopia! :D

 

June 17: Father's Day lunch at Summer Palace, then shopping at Chinatown market/mall.

Bought hair accessories & electronic accessories. These flip-flops tickled me. XD

June 18-19: Ate ube, mung bean, custard, & buko pandan hopia. ^^

 

 Filipino siobao (jumbo!) & more hopia.

 

June 20: Dinner at... I forgot the name of the restaurant. >_>;

Mushroom & radish soup. Sweet & sour pork (like take-out), lechon (disappointing), tofu.

 

 Ox tail stew (so rich & flavorful)

 

 Mango sago (tapioca). Mochi (super soft).

 

June 21: Day out w/ Ger & A. :) Got a ride to Bonifacio Global City & met at Central Square(?) mall cinema to watch Ocean's 8. Very funny & exciting heist movie w/ a great female cast. Really liked it. Browsed a Charming Charlie that was closing, but the remaining items still weren't discounted enough for me. Then we went to dinner at trendy Mendokoro Ramenba. Small & crowded but worth the wait.

Gyoza, aji tamago. TanTanMen ramen. Very tasty!

 

Short walk to St Louis House of Fine Ice Cream & Desserts (taro ice cream)
