Discovering Discovery Suites
E treated me to this hotel stay this weekend. Really sweet of him because he knows how much I love staying in hotels, being lazy and doing nothing. The stay was really restful and we definitely enjoyed being together. However, Discovery's service leaves much to be desired. There was no coffee maker, now a standard of Manila hotels, and service was really slow at the coffee shop when we had breakfast. At least now we know that we wouldn't be spending our hard earned money in this hotel again.
Celebrating Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Thanksgiving Day is a harvest festival celebrated primarily in the United States and Canada. Traditionally, it is a time to give thanks to God for the harvest and express gratitude to others for our many blessings."
Though we don't live in the US nor Canada, there were numerous reasons to be thankful for to God and others. Thus, it was just so right to celebrate Thanksgiving right here in the Philippines with family. Maybe the next time we celebrate, it will be in Canada! :-)
To celebrate, we decided on Cafe Juanita. It was my first time in Cafe Juanita. The original branch in Barrio Kapitolyo, Pasig has been a favorite among foodies and I've read good reviews on the internet. They've decided to expand at the new dining complex in Burgos Circle, The Fort. All dishes that E ordered were so good: from their version of the Catfish and Green Mango Salad, to the Kare-kare, Bagnet salad, Crispy Lapu-lapu and the Ginataang gulay. I'm not surprised that it has continued to be a favorite all these years.
