Aside from the food booths by the different restaurants,

Previous entry:  Town and Country Fabulous Food Affair September 23, 2014

The Raffles Hotel prepared their own buffet set ups!!!  I had to separate this because there was just too many spectacular things to share!!  They did a very good job!!!! The presentation and the out of the box ideas were truly AMAZING!

By the entrance of the hallway was this sushi buffet which was actually sweet sushi 🙂

If you look closer, they are fruits on top and the rice is probably suman or sticky rice.  I was not able to try this but just looking at it made me very happy 🙂

Sometimes The Best Way to Connect is To Get Together

By | What's New at Starbucks? | No Comments

Super love the new ads of Starbucks!!!  Following their motto on “Human Connection.”  Nowadays due to technology,  we tend to communicate with friends and family only through text or via email.   When it is nice and still a way to stay in touch, there is still a different connection when you get together.  There are some emotions you cannot see or feel through your phone no matter what emoji you put 🙂  And Starbucks is always the best place to meet up and make that human connection

To make sulit our trip to BF Homes I insited on trying Ble which Janet told me was one of her favourite places.  So after The Girl + The Bull we went here.

Previous entry:  The Girl + The Bull September 22, 2014

We already knew we were coming so we did not stuff ourselves .  Yeah right! haha!!

It’s literally a hole in the wall!  A very small place!  We were lucky we got a table when we went. But in a few weeks they will be opening another branch in El Grande down the road.  Please open in Makati!

Ble means blue in GreekBle (2)

Which explains why it’s blue everywhere 🙂
