The yearly tradition started as early at 9 in the morning this year!
Purposely cut all the needed ingredients so that I wouldn’t have to start cooking that early. Little did I know when I took nap at 2.30pm due to terrible headache, mum woke up me an hour later asking me to start cooking!
Of course, I snoozed the ‘alarm’ until 4pm, lol!
I thought I would have enough time to kaotim everything myself, but I’m so wrong again. Again, help was needed in the kitchen. Mum, sis and even dad crowded the kitchen, helped stirring, frying and washing the plates.
By 7.30pm, dinner was served.
Baked scallop and bacon with honey mustard sauce; Garlic beer prawn; Thai style steamed fish.
Whenever we dine at Autocity, mum would suggest us to go to this cafe called Ice Ice Baby. I don’t know why she fancy that cafe so much; probably has a penchant for sweet thing.
Since it was a sunny afternoon, we didn’t object at all, lol.
Like usual, the waiter came.. ordered, bla bla bla… and then the drink/desserts came.
Sudden crave for Korean food! ROFL.
Because of the crave, I shall blog about Korean food today! Haha!
Last year, after visiting the hot air balloon thingy, we went for lunch at Haeun Khon Restaurant on the 3rd floor of Amcorp Mall.
The food is delicious and surprisingly affordable too! I was thinking oh my, gonna burnt a hole in the pocket but I was quite stunned to know that the set costs like under RM20?!
Ah, now I crave for Korean food even moreeeee! Oh My BIBIMBAPPPPPPPP!

Came 13th July, the day we go back to the reality.
That morning we woke up early, as we need to catch the 7 o’clock bus to Clark. However one room didn’t get the revised departure time; they went down half an hour earlier and Sat and I felt so guilty upon hearing that. That moment, I made up my mind to personally tell everyone on important stuff like ‘gather time’ rather than relying on the others to pass the message.
We did quick check-out and then left GoHotels.Ph via taxi for Philtranco bus terminal at SM Megamall. Unfortunately the taxi could only fit 7 people, so Sat, Aaron and Steven volunteered to brace through the human-packed MRT. The taxi driver dropped us down at the entrance of SM Megamall, vaguely telling us to get to the back of the building. We have no idea where, so we stopped and asked one of the policemen on duty. He asked us to walk further down, take the pedestrian bridge and then turn left.
We did all but taking the pedestrian bridge. All of us were too lazy to do so, haha!
I sincerely thought that the bus terminal is a building – little did I know that it’s actually a bus stop. It’s the same place where we got down when we arrived in Manila 5 days ago. Seeing few people waiting there with luggage further confirmed our doubt on the right place to wait. I was afraid that Sat, Aaron and Steven didn’t know the way so I asked Emily to message the guys on our whereabouts. As we were looking for the accurate landmarks to tell them, they were seen walking towards the bus stop.
We had one last meal in Northern Luzon heading back to Manila. After showering and packing, we headed back to the resort’s restaurant for lunch.
We were truly reluctant to leave the place. Though we were supposed to clear our bills and checked out after lunch, but May and I went for a little more exploration around the resort. Both of us were curious on the number of rooms the resort has and also the vicinity of the resort as we’ve only seen the lobby, restaurant, pool and a row of rooms where we occupied two rooms out of the 4.
