As 2015 comes to a close, we welcome 2016. During this time, I would like to share with you a list of my hopes when it comes to the MANILA FOOD and HOTEL and TRAVEL Scene.

| Snow in Edsa Shangri-La |
1) Amazing and Affordable Food Done Right
In 2015, we all saw how the Food Scene changed. A lot of international brands came in. Still, amazing home made concepts sprung and held up their ground. These may not be new restaurants but I enjoyed their remake and their take on food. Hopefully, 2016 will be better.
COCHINILLO from VASK. TINOLANG MANOK from LOLA CAFE, CHEESEBURGER from THE BEEF in HOLE IN THE WALL.
2) Awesome Hotel Food.
Gone are the days when Hotel Food was synonymous to expensive and awfully normal. I am glad that these hotels reinvented and improved their food concepts and thankfully it worked.
EDSA SHANGRI-LA'S: HEAT (6 Tips on Heat, Mad For Lobsters, Mad for Wagyu), MAKATI SHANGRI-LA'S Circle (Butcher's Market), MARCO POLO ORTIGAS: CUCINA.
MAD FOR WAGYU's Amazing Steak buffet,
MAD FOR LOBSTER's LOBSTER all you CAN!
MAD FOR LOBSTER's LOBSTER all you CAN!
MAKATI SHANGRI-LA'S: ALL MEAT Butcher's Buffet.
MARCO POLO ORTIGAS: CUCINA. Concise and Complete.
In the past couple of years, the word STAYCATION became quite popular. Rather than going out of town, you get to stay in a hotel and live the life of luxury. You get to escape from the hassle of the city and get access to on demand wants and needs. Basically, it either depends on their location and accessibility, prime spot, affordability, and near perfect service and amenities.
For 2016, I can't wait but be excited for the new hotels coming.
For the mean time, here are my fave staycation / hotel spots in the country:
Hotel Jen Manila's SUNSET View. MARCO POLO ORTIGAS' amenities that is perfect for a staycation.
and F1 Hotel's LOCATION.
Not to mention the Peace and Serenity in SHANGRI-LA BORACAY.
Yes, human beings are born to travel. Thankfully, going somewhere is but a click away. I mean booking that is. I enjoyed quite a few out of town travels this year, a couple out of the country and a few domestically. For next year, I hope to enjoy and have more travels to look forward to. For 2015,

As 2015 ends, I can't help but be thankful for all the support and the love I received from everyone. From Family, Friends and Love Ones. Let's all be optimistic with 2016. Happy New Year Guys! Thank you so much!

DeleteThat was also my issue with hotel food. They were too expensive but they didn't really deliver. I noticed also that some of them are improving now although I've still yet to try those hotels that you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, Happy New Year Jeng!
Happy new Year Marj!!!!!! Yeah.. I dont like it when things are expensive and then they don't deliver. Thankfully hotels in manila are changing and evolving.
DeleteIn the particular fateful summer campaign your current Germans were faced with hard choices In the event they deliver it is main blow to the Caucus oil fields IN ADDITION TO return to be able to the push later intended for Stalingrad? 59 years later another ill-tempered leader would ponder a great similar type connected with question would ones central blow fall from Iraq or maybe get care involving Afghanistan? http://www.mordocrosswords.com/2016/02/prime-time-ender.html
