William’s Photo Supply

By | Photography, Shopping, Travel | One Comment

559447539503_0_bg.jpg 

For those who ask me for a “suki” for cameras and photo supply- here is one.  This is actually from my Dad.  Another one of Dad’s friends in Hong Kong.     William has been in Prince’s Building for 35 years already.  It may not be the cheapest in town but you will be sure William will give you your camera as it should be with all the components with it.  Some shops might give you a lower price but might be missing some parts or accessories. In other words, he is a reputable shop.  Location wise it is in a very decent building.  So, do try William when you buy your photo supplies.

Bulan

By | Foodie, Shopping | No Comments

FINALLY!!!! After 3 failed attempts to have dinner with the group, we finally got to have dinner together.   

 

Newts and Michelle chose our dinner venue…something new and different. Though maybe we will not go all the way back there to have another meal, we enjoy trying and seeing new places and concepts.  Whenever my family and friends ask where to go to eat, my suggestion is always ” anywhere, as long as it is something new that we have not tried yet.”  There are so many places to go to..and many restaurants to try…

Bulan, which means “moon” in several languages, is owned by Marlene Aguilar, sister of Freddie Aguilar.   

She publishes books and she owns Bulan which is a restaurant and a furniture store.

She rented the house from the owners of Jo Liza in Little Baguio, San Juan.  All the paintings, furniture, decors, tables, chairs are for sale.  

 

 

The restroom:

 

 

Though the interiors are Asian inspired, the food is European.  I particularly liked the Paulie’s steak which was steak with gorgonzola cheese and the pasta with three kinds of mushrooms, Crystal’s Flambe that I ordered. Portions are small for most but perfect for me:
