My brother was in Cebu for the day and his only request before leaving was to have lunch in Abaca. So we granted his wish happily 🙂
The last time we were here was with the whole family and it was when they had just opened and their accomodations were not even opened yet- just the restaurant. It’s nice to be back
Love how this bamboo tilted as it grew and it created like a shade or roof in the pathway
No outdoor seating due to the rain

The eye-catching watch is an adaptation of the iconic and best-selling Michael Kors Runway style. Paying homage to the designer’s favorite city and hometown, the dial displays the edition number and the words “New York” in script, while the case-back features an etched graphic of the iconic NYC skyline. Additionally the dial is embellished with a 2.5 mm diamond at the number-12 index, imbuing the watch with the type of jetset glamour for which the brand is world-renowned.
The New York Limited Edition Runway is presented in a luxe rich brown collector’s box with a plush interior.
A “Michael Kors Limited Edition” plaque is nestled inside the box, adding a reminder of the piece’s exclusivity.
The New York Limited Edition Runway watch will be available at The Power Plant Mall and Greenbelt 5 stores in very limited quantities and will retail for Php39,150.00
In the Philippines, Michael Kors is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 5, Rustan’s Makati, The Power Plant Mall, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, and Newport Mall.
