Liquid

Outfits failure
phone rings
friend : pls, pls, go with me . .
me : huh?? where?when?
friend : i'm on my way to your house
me : huh?
friend : be ready in 30 minutes. . will pick you up
phone off.
phone rings again
friend : wear something cowboy
me : a what?
friend : no, something pirate pala


The confusion carried on to locating the venue. We thought the club was inside Hotel H20 which was inside the Manila Ocean Park.


After unsolicited tour of  Manila Ocean Park  , we found Liquid Pool Lounge at the basement area near the grand entrance of MOP.


There's a 3 feet pool which is suggestive of a wet party. Imagine_ like the ones we see on a Vegas  party where people dance in the pool.  




The underground vibe of the place suited well the pirate theme of the event.






The music, party people , decors were consistent to the pirate theme.




Except us (me & bff ). So we thought we might as well borrowed Mr. Skull's cool hat. . .


Now what???

El Prado



El Prado is the signature restaurant of Berjaya Manila Hotel. Located at the mezzanine floor of the hotel, it offers Asian and International cuisines.



A visiting friend stayed in this hotel and wasn't so pleased finding out the familiar Asian dishes from her home- based country in the menu. She had enough of those you know. The pinoy in her was actually craving for our Filipino dishes.



So glad she was to order our local beef sinigang.



I,on the other hand, had too much of sinigang as part of our weekly menu at home.



And opted to try their satay chicken. I was actually expecting this dish as a barbecue like the ones I had tried in Malaysia. It came as rice toppings but good as well.



watermelon and mango shakes







The girls came down for lunch  late. They had fun in the pool and had buckets of nachos which delayed their lunch to 3pm .







If you left these girls on their own_expect that they would order either pasta dish or if they go rice meal, kare-kare rules the table.



Satisfied.

Dad's Merienda

Dad's Saisaki, Kamayan are for Japanese and Filipino lunch and dinner  buffet. However, lately when they offered their snack buffet every 3pm at P100+ only, we found our way to enjoy mostly Filipino delicacies on the table.


Not bad, especially if you were craving for our local dishes like putobumbong, lumpiang sariwa, pansit, lugaw, and many others which are too tasky to prepare in our own kitchen just for a snack time.
















Actually it's not everything pinoy, there are others like shawarma, dimsums and so much more. .



Expect to get full just on your 2nd (and possibly even on your first plate) round and you coudn't do much about it_ you know how heavy our Filipino merienda dishes, haha.
