Ace Water Spa Buffet, Real Value for Money


We are big fans of eat all you can buffets. Name it, chances are, we've tried them!
Of all the places we've eaten, our most value for money would be the dinner and lunch buffet at Ace Water Spa Coffee Lounge.
 For 550++ pesos, you will get the most diverse buffet selection with unlimited supply of drinks.
Unlike most buffets that offers the typical Filipino dishes, at ACE you can sample a wide variety from Asian to European.  Too bad, the introductory promo ends this June.  By July, the price would be 899++.  Grab this chance now!

Corner Tree Cafe, A Healthy Option

We are always in the look out for interesting places to eat. For this Indepenece Day late lunch, we opted for something healthy. I chanced upon Corner Tree Cafe when I was googling for the best vegan restaurant in Manila. It ranked 1st on Spot.ph. We did not have the budget to sample the tofu walnut burger but instead ordered the vegetable Kare-Kare and Lumpia. It was good and the organic brown rice complemented the dish perfectly. What we enjoyed most was the Banofee Pie. Sharing it was a mistake!
