( from Wikipedia ) The Chatuchak Weekend Market is HUGE! You can easily get lost here, so if you are in a Group, make sure to set some place as a meeting point. They have everything here. This is also a good source for those hard to find plant seeds.

Macau and Hongkong Vacation

Image
Our Room at the Venetian Hotel and Casino I think this is the Hotel Owned by Jackie Chan The Goddess of Mercy Statue The Ruins of Saint Paul This is where we had our Breakfast on our last day in Macau. Foggo Samba, an all you can eat Buffet. Delicious! My Singapore based Sister M and her Family were going to Macau so we decided to join them. Our Macau Trip was from September 4-6.

Rose and Grace (Sta Rosa, Laguna)

We went here after my Nanay's chekcup at the Asian Hospital. The reviews at the forums where so convincing that we decided to go from Alabang to Sta Rosa, Laguna to try their food.  We ordered Bulalo, Chili Garlic Shrimp and Bangus Relleno. The Bulalo was SOOO DISAPPOINTING. I think it was just re-heated. The Chili Garlic Shrimp was likewise DISAPPOINTING. It was just shrimp which looked like Chili Garlic Sauce drizzled over. And the Rellenong Bangus was PANIS (Spoiled). Anyway, it was such a DISAPPOINTING lunch that we will never go back to this particular Rose and Grace. There are other branches of Rose and Grace, and it is unfair to say that all Rose and Grace have the same quality of food.
