Yes mam its the Phillipines! DAY 2

It’s the second day in manila, my flu recovered after getting enough slp! Today the rough itinerary is to go shopping in the malls near our hotels, go for a short city tour and have dinner at a famous buffet restaurant that serves a wide range of local and international cuisine. 

So for the rest of the day that we stayed in somerset millennium we had our breakfast there, I have to say their spread is pretty good with different dishes everyday but some standard dishes for breakfast fixed like scrambled eggs and pancakes. It was a cozy little restaurant so it makes u feel very comfortable eating there and will enjoy ur breakfast, which one of my tour mate reckon as the most impt. meal of the day in a warm ambience! 

Taken in one of the shopping malls near out hotels, all the ‘elders’ in our group, there are like ard 10 shopping centres at that area? Or more I don’t know didn’t manage to visit all as they are too huge and our schedule didn’t permit. It’s just like orchard roads in Singapore, malls after malls and they are linked but most sell the same thing though, with labels like Uniqlo, cotton on and zara. Actually nth much special, it’s just quantity there.   

This is the garden of a huge cluster of shopping malls near our hotel with the name Greenbelt, just like suntect city , they have 5 buildings which they call Greenbelt 1 to 5. Again, we didn’t manage to visit all as everything in the mall is the same so nth interest us so we chose to forgo them. This is the middle of all 5 malls, those who think manila is still a third world country who practice barter trade, u are wrong, okay I don’t not say other cities of Philippine is so advanced but at least manila is with numerous shopping centres .

So in the afternoon we went for the city tour, I forgot the name of the places we went, so please just enjoy the photos XD 

 In the car, a statue in the middle of their central banking district.

 First local tourist attract we visited, some fortress I guess XD one unfortunate thing is I don’t know why my camera didn’t capture much nice pictures due to the lighting reason, that day It was cloudy and was abt to rain, or maybe is I noob and don’t know how to adjust my camera T.T

 Hahaha sorry I just had to do it.

 I was trying to take a picture of this kitty that stopped suddenly beside me, I was quite surprised it didn’t run away when I was going nearer to him and take the picture. It turns out he was shitting so he didn’t move -.-

 Le wild tourist.

 My 2 generation Y tour mates!

Sorry I just couldn’t help it XD

 With my mum!

Second stop is the oldest church in manila or sth built by a Chinese and yes I gained some weight.

So for dinner we came to this restaurant I found online that is quite famous apparently for their wide spread of buffet dinner. It’s called kamaiyan, I think: / didn’t managed to take pic of the wide spreads as I was busy eating. It was quite yummy just like those international buffets u can get in Singapore without local Philippine food, but I actually don’t know what their local food is and don’t dare to eat them also.

 So there are performers who sings in front of every tables, when I stopped in front of our table it was so awkward I don’t know what to do, I couldn’t eat cause its quite rude to eat when others are performing for u so I just stoned until the performance was over.

 Roast pork is famous in Philippines, I just find it interest so I took it but after that I realized its quite gross :/

Anyway guys next time when you visit the Philippines you have to try this drink naming ‘ four season’ apparently it’s made of fruits of different seasons, like watermelon, orange, banana and mango! The taste is so fresh and unique! I really like it, not to mention it’s pretty appearance!

So here’s day 2 of my trip! Have been procrastinating to post the rest as work is killing me! But I will try my best!  So stay tune!
