My husband and I had our first dinner at Chelsea more than 2 years ago. It took another visit last January to remind us how much we really liked the place and so I decided, eliminating a buffet dinner at Sofitel since it’ll just be wasted on us with Euna tagging along, to celebrate my post-birthday dinner here.
I scheduled the dinner for Saturday and had my husband call the restaurant to reserve for a table for 4 but it turned out that they don’t accept reservations on weekends. And so we had to content with keeping our fingers crossed and hope against hope that the place wouldn’t be filled when we get there. Turns out I didn’t have to worry as my very good friend Christina got ahead and was able to get a table for us.
One of the things I like about Chelsea: free baked whole garlic bulb with herbed bread (since I can’t differentiate a focaccia from a baguette). The second time we ate there, it took some time for our food to get to our table and so I ended up asking for seconds. I could eat this the whole meal.
I thought I’d start the month of March with a bang – literally! It was a good thing I looked out the window last night and was able to capture the last minute of this:
Pyro musical competition happening at SM Mall of Asia. This is actually the 3rd Sunday running. There are still 2 more happening this coming Sunday (March 7, 2010) and the next (March 14, 2010). You can check out their website at http://pyrophilippines.com/. Excuse the quality of the vid. I think I’ve exhausted the zoom capability of the Canon Ixus 120. This also happens to be my first try at editing a video thanks to Windows Movie Maker. Haha! Let me know how I did! Pointers and suggestions most welcome!
I know! I know! I still haven’t finished my series of Singapore posts and here I am writing about Manila Diamond Hotel. Well, I just thought that with the day of hearts coming up, I should just help out those out there who haven’t decided yet where to spend it with their other halves. I know where I’m spending mine – at home babysitting! Haha! Anyway, here’s a peek of Manila Diamond Hotel to give you an idea if you’re intending to head there this Valentine’s day.
