Usapang Makati sa Urda

By | General Information | No Comments

 From Barangay Captain, Ola Regala

“This is a good opportunity for the village voters to get to meet and listen to our Makati candidates for Mayor, Vice Mayor and Congress ( District 1 ).  This is open to all village voters.  It would be good to meet their candidates so they can vote wisely.  This is a project of Barangay Urdaneta and Urdaneta Ladies Committee in cooperation with the Village barangays:  Dasmariñas, Bel Air, Magallanes and Forbes Park”

Touring Shanghai

Aside from all the eating 🙂 and all those places we went to, we visited also the tallest building in China, The Shanghai World Financial Center, which is 101 storeys high!  The Park Hyatt Hotel occupies the 79th to the 93rd floor of the building.  It was foggy that day and drizzling so when we went up, we could not see anything, but it was so scary!

The next tallest building right across the street- sorry the photo is sideways I had to really bend down to be able to take it

It was Back Saturday and we asked out tour guide to bring us to church…and wow, he took us to this beautiful Cathedral, though it was under restoration

The Kitchen Salvatore Cuomo

By | Foodie, Travel | No Comments

It was nice to take a break from all the Chinese food and have some Italian! The location was so nice – it was by the river and then on the other side is the cityscape.  There are other restaurants on this street but this was recommended to us by Tito Robbie and Tita Helen

The kitchen is open without any glass walls

They had the business lunch set and I was the only one who had it and I thought the price was reasonable considering everything it came with compared to the ala carte wherein one dish was almost equivalent to the whole business meal.

I got the Rosmarino.  You have to choose one from the selection.  I cannot finish really the whole meal, it’s a good thing everyone helps 🙂

Everyone else ordered ala carte….
