Tong Yang Unlimited Grill and Shabu Shabu

Tong Yang Unlimited Grill & Shabu Shabu Buffet opened in Robinsons Antipolo last year and as with most buffet restaurants, there's always long lines. That one particular Saturday though, we're at the mall so early we decided to walk in and see if they can accommodate us. Luck's on our side, we were seated in no time. 

We were probably the second customer to be seated and after several minutes, the place was already jam packed with diners. Unlimited food, buffet, and eat-all-you can offering despite high price and inflation still has its charm. 

As per usual, I was with my father and my nephew. This is my nephew's first time at Tong Yang. He's not very fond of grilled food but surprisingly, he enjoyed this one. My father on the other hand enjoyed the hot pot, creating his own bowl of hearty soup with lots of veggies and very few meat. I, well, I enjoyed the seafood, specifically the tuna tail. 

Quick Visit at Madison Lounge and Bar of Hilton Manila

Life has been a little busy lately. I have to be honest that this blog - my little space in the world wide web, will slowly turn into my repository of images and little blurbs about some of the experiences I enjoyed and made a mark in my heart.  I wish I still have ample time and energy to wax poetic and tell stories, but that is not the case. 

For now, I just want to keep this blog running for those who are still visiting this blog and for my self. One of the many things I learned after my mother and sister passed away, is to document beautiful memories as much as you can. I intend to do that.

So, photo dump and short notes ahead.

A quick visit to Madison Lounge and Bar at Hilton Manila happened a little while back.  I cannot remember the exact names of the little feast I had. We were just about to buy the breads from Madison that my nephew loves. But the stunning ambiance at Madison made us have a little coffee and dessert session instead.

Ala Carte Menu at Seven Corners Restaurant of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria (An IHG Hotel)

Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria Manila is one of those hotels we usually stayed at whenever we need to do errands for several days in Ortigas area.  Because of that, Crowne Plaza's Seven Corners Restaurant is always the first choice when dining - not only because it is convenient but because I honestly think they serve good food and their service is always stellar. 

While Seven Corners Restaurant is known for their buffet service, their options for ala carte offerings are nothing short of amazing too. 

Located at the 3rd floor of Crowne Plaza Manila Galleria (an IHG Hotel), Seven Corners Restaurant is the in-house restaurant of Crowne Plaza Manila and Holiday Inn Galleria while their Fab Restaurant is still close. 

Theo & Miguel Restaurant

My nephew is very fond of Filipino food. When dining out, he's the one to suggest to try Filipino restaurants we have not yet. This time, we tried Theo & Miguel Restaurant in Robinsons Place Antipolo. I have not heard of this restaurant before so, I have no idea what to expect. 

The food options on their menu is very limited, which makes me a bit apprehensive. In my mind I'm already thinking of the next restaurant to hit once I didn't like whatever we're having at Theo & Miguel. 

My apprehension grew when I realized that there's not a lot of seafood and vegetable dishes at Theo & Miguel. My father who is a senior only enjoy vegetable and seafood, I myself is trying to dodge meat, but I can still enjoy a bite or two. My nephew is a meat eater but mostly it's jut steak that he enjoys. Still we decided to give this restaurant a try.
