Aquanox

By | Foodie | One Comment

Tired of the usual offerings of the metro? Looking for something hip with a slice of posh? If you’re craving for a sumptuous dinner over good conversation, then Aquaknox restaurant in Makati is the place to go.  With their delectable array of seafood cuisine well renowned in Beverly Hills, you can have a taste of 90210 right in Makati.  They had just opened two weeks ago and have recently started opening for lunch a few days ago.  

Thanks to Danny Vu and Natasha Morse who decided to bring one-of-a-kind Vietnamese concoctions savored by Filipinos here and abroad.  Their signature dishes, “Cua Rang Moui Toi” and Bong’s Vietnamese garlic pasta are sure to be hits among diners.

Another brand of frozen yogurt!! I saw it while driving down Ortigas Ave. last year and then now they have a branch in Paseo Center.  This is my sister Margs’ favorite brand because she says it is more tangy…Two months ago, I went to get some and even took home some 

Taken from their website:

Of course I bought a pair of GB sandals during Walk the Green Mile to support Haribon Foundation and the event….
