Manila

The capital of Philippines, Manila is a bayside city filled with so much history and culture. Head over to Intramuros, the Walled City, and witness the architecture that will leave you wondering if you're really in a city in Asia! Or head to Binondo, the city's Chinatown and feast on a fusion of Filipino-Chinese delicacies.

Satisfy your search for thrills at Enchanted Kingdom - the country's very first theme park - or make a stop at Manila Ocean Park for a world-class marine park experience! And for the best photos, why not head to The Dessert Museum for your instagram worthy shots? If nature is your thing, why not head to the Pagsanjan Falls and spend the day on a bangka (outrigger boat) or take a hike up to Taal Volcano's crater?

The Hearty Grub in Manila
I am one very satisfied Klooker❣😊The meals were really delicious. I almost forgot to to take pictures because I gobbled them up so fast 😋TheHeartyGrub is the 3rd supplier I tried and finally my palate was satisfied moreso the delivery time was not stressful for an imsoniac like me. Daily meals were delivered regularly at the same time in the evening by a nice & polite person. Thank you Mr. Erwin & TheHeartyGrub. I ordered again for next week 😋❤

All-Inclusive Dining Voucher at Dusit Thani Manila
I was not able to take photos of the food spreads but I can't emphasize how great this experience was for our group. With all the health and safety protocols in place, they do not remove from the authentic buffet experience by allowing guests to go from station to station. There is a designated staff member per station who will be taking your orders and food is delivered promptly to your table. There are also roving food carts which allow for variation should you want specific food items. I was a bit worried that we might encounter some problems with voucher redemption since we used quite a few but it was very seamless. The restaurant staff members are well-trained and accommodating, we will definitely come back again.

[Delivery] Sevilla's Catering in Manila
I'm so sad because I was not able to take photos of the food items just because we were in a rush to pack it up for a family trip. Nevertheless, I would like to share how professional and accommodating Sevilla's Catering was. I requested a specific delivery time and had it moved due to some logistical issues and they readily adjusted it for me. The food itself was a LOT, definitely value for money and was packaged well. They were thoughtful enough not to mix the sauces that might have a shorter shelf life so as to preserve the food quality. As for the taste, everyone loved it and had super positive feedback overall. Very reliable service, definitely 5 stars! :)

[Delivery or Takeaway] Le Reussi in Banawe
I've heard a lot of good things about their cakes and decided to give it a try. The mini cakes are sized in such a way that it's not too much but still with the same level of taste as the whole cakes. We finished everything in one sitting, will definitely order again as these are perfect holiday tokens. 😊
