Luxent Hotel Buffet in Timog Quezon City

We had a family gathering at this hotel recently for a birthday celebration. We got it through a deal site which offered it at 40% off the published rate, I think.

Grandmomma's Kitchen - IL Terrazzo Tomas Morato QC

We wanted to try out a new restaurant and I decided to check out my Enjoy Ph app. Searched for Tomas Morato and saw a restaurant I'm not familiar with. Thing is, I forgot to bring my Enjoy Philippines card but we still decided to push through.

The Real Thing Diner - Il Terrazzo Tomas Morato (Coca Cola Inspired Diner)

Other than the fad of Asian Chain restaurants opening around Metro Manila like Lugang Cafe and Crystal Jade Xiao Long Bao, there's also a fad of diners. I haven't tried the one in Eastwood and Tomas Morato.

Last Sunday, we chanced upon a new diner in the 2nd floor of Il Terrazzo mall (Tomas Morato). It has a rather simple facade - not amusing.nor over decorated. Simple and straight to the point - a diner. Coca-Cola inspired diner.

The Real Thing Diner.

 

 You will notice the red and white accent which reminds you of a famous soft drink brand, Coca Cola.

Bubble Tea - Revisited for the nth time

If there's one food I really like, it would be Japanese food. Italian food would come in next.

I've been a Bubble Tea fan for years now and one of the owner, Mr. Reagan knows it as well. It was first introduced to me 2 to 3 years ago and since then, I grew fond of their food and milk teas. My favorite so far is their best-selling Royal Milk Tea.

QC Gov't Will Impose Parking Fees Along Tomas Morato

MANILA, Philippines -- A group of businessmen in Quezon City have opposed a measure which would allow the city government to charge fees from people who leave their vehicles in designated street parking areas.

In a statement, Edwin Rodriguez of the Tomas Morato Business Club said the measure was “ill-timed, ill-advised and anti-people."

Under the proposed ordinance, fees ranging from P20 to P150 would be charged from drivers who would be allowed to park for three hours in designated street parking areas near “places of special interest.”


“Places of special interest” were defined as places where people congregate such as parks, churches, government offices, schools, museums and shopping malls.

Fact: Does the Quezon City (QC) Government know that they spent billions of pesos worth of taxes , that WE payed, for the beautification of the parking slots along Tomas Morato. Now, in return for spending our money, they are planning to charge us parking fees ranging from 20 to 150 pesos!!! It's insanely crazy! It should be our privilege and the business owners' decision to decide whether they will charge or not!

I love dining around Tomas Morato because there are no parking fees! Now, the greedy QC government will charge parking fee because they improved the area using OUR taxes.

I guess they just don't care about any other people as long as they get money and maybe worst, put it in their pockets. Can't they just be thankful enough that a huge bunch of establishments and restaurants along Tomas Morato are contributing to the development of Quezon City by paying taxes that the QC Government get to add to their budget and "spend"? How I wish they get to taste their own medicine soon. They are so filthy rich that they don't mind paying the 20 pesos parking fee because they got to get easy-earned money.

This is why it's hard to do business in the Philippines. We are nearing communism where the Government wants a share in our every single hard-earned earning. How selfish and greedy.
