Breakfast in MakanMakan Asian Food Village


Our overnight stay in Hotel H2O comes with a complimentary breakfast for 2 in MakanMakan Asian Food Village.


The best of Asia's flavors and the ambiance of Singapore's hawker style dining is now in Manila! Indulge in Nasi Lemak, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Satay, Char Kway Teow, Laksa, and other classic Singaporean favorites in Makan Makan Food Village at Manila Ocean Park.

The restaurant embodies the main cultures of Singapore through its diverse cuisines—Chinese, Indian, Thai, Malay, Filipino and even Western. "Makan" is a Bahasa Indonesian term for eating.

Makan Makan Food Village has been steadily getting raves for treating foodies and dining afficionados to a multi-sensory feast. Watch chefs prepare delectable dishes through an interactive performance at their kitchen stations. Enjoy a fusion of fine dining ambiance and hawker stalls as you savor mouth-watering dishes!


After giving our name and room number in the receptionist, we settle to our table across this buffet table para malapit... Alam nyo na ang mga patay-gutom gutom...


The breakfast buffet doesn't offer Nasi Lemak or Laksa but the typical breakfast you can found in the hotels...

Rice, sausages, pancakes, potato balls, pork spareribs, ham etc...


Congee and Wanton noodles and on the upper left is variety of cereals..


Different kinds of breads..

They also have dimsums like asado pao, siomai, chicken and mushrooms and lots of other foods.. Wala lang akong photos nung ibang food kasi nahihiya ako... :(


Nice packaging...

Since im on a diet, i control my food intake and eat lots of fruits...

My yogurt and fruits...


Hubby and our breakfast..

Hubby likes the Pork spareribs because of its tenderness and the sauce. I like naman the hot chocolate... Kulang na lang ang suman to be a perfect combination with the hot chocolate.

Generally, breakfast in Makan Makan were good enough and we ended up really full that i couldn't finish my hot chocolate and potato balls. 


Hubby took this picture before leaving the MakanMakan and walk along the Sunset Quay while he smokes.

While walking going out in Sunset Quay, we saw this:

Toktok

Pero wala naman tayo d2...

Our country's pride

Whitemoon Bar Night-out


Hubby and I explore the Manila Ocean Park but we didnt go to Oceanarium because we're also planning to bring Tami there. We went around and see the place. We had light dinner first in Wendy's then went to Whitemoon Bar for a couple of drinks.

Whitemoon Bar is another night spot located inside the Manila Ocean Park facing the Manila Bay where you can order from their selection of beers, cocktails and other liqueurs. Whitemoon Bar isn't the place to come for a nightlife like clubs and bars belting out a techno music but it is a good choice where you can enjoy a cold glass of beer while listening to the music and watching the sunset.


Since its too early pa, we stayed there and listen to the music before ordering our drinks.



I love the Whitemoon Bar in time for sunset. Perfect for picture taking and im sure that all couples will enjoy their quiet and romantic time here. 


Whitemoon Bar Menu


Hubby ordered his first two beers..


My first Margarita in Strawberry Flavor. Margarita is my favorite from the cocktail selection.


Enjoying our drinks and the music while kwentuhan. Wala namang ibang magbobolahan dun kundi kami ni hubby. Remember, 12 yrs na kaming nagbobolahan... hehe


After drinking a couple of drinks, we got tipsy na so we decided to stop drinking liqueurs. Rest for a while then took some pics.

Tipsy Hubby

We left the bar around 7:30pm and went back to our room.

Hotbed/Massage in Zenyu Eco Spa


My reason why i want to go in Hotel H2O is because of the Hotbed in Zenyu Eco Spa.

After settling in our room and while hubby is sleeping, i went to Zenyu Eco Spa and im excited to try the first Spa in the Philippines that offers hotbed treatment. Kahit medyo masakit pa ang katawan ko ska ulo ko pumunta pa rin ako because i know that the hotbed is good for the body.

(Please bear with my photos because i used my BB here in Zenyu Eco Spa)



Zenyu eco spa means complete healing in Japanese. Zenyu ecospa does not only offer pampering and relaxation services, but also a healing component through the negative ion hot bed treatment.

This negative ion hotbed is part of the Ecoparadise Deoxidation Center that started in Japan and has branched out to Malaysia and Singapore.

Ecoparadise Japan recognized the power of nature with its studies on negative ions. A clean and fresh environment is free of bacteria and viruses, and has a balance of electrical charges in the soil and the environment.



Capillary Scope

I was given a test and see how my blood circulate and the difference with negative ion. Nakaka-amaze talaga, everyone should try this hotbed.. Now i know why Japanese has healthy bods.


Everyone will be given lockers for your valuables...



The attendant gave me yukata, towel and disposable underwear. Yes you heard it right. Youre going inside the hotbed with the disposable undies and yukatas.


Me after changing clothes... Getting ready for the hotbed..


My locker key..


Me already sitting on the brown bricks...

The hotbed room is made out of bricks and the brown color bricks emits negative ions. The room is like dry sauna but the heat is coming from the floor. Amazing right?



With my towel and water...

By the way, even if its hot inside, you can bring your cellphone and its safe.. Kita nyo naman nakakapag-picture pa ko.


Me sweating like a pig! hehe

After the hotbed i feel so good and nawala sakit ng ulo ko, had massage after the hotbed. I highly recommend the hotbed and I wanna go back in Zenyu Eco Spa.... Calling my office buddies.

Rates:

Hotbed: PhP 400 for 30 to 40 mins.
Massage: PhP 700 for 60 mins.



Anniversary in Hotel H2O


Our anniversary date didnt end in MOA because we spend the night in Hotel H2O located on the 3rd floor of Manila Ocean Park. Its not an impromptu decision because i told hubby last time that we should go to Zenyu Eco Spa in Hotel H2O because i want to try the Hotbed.

Last week, i was looking for rates of Hotel H2O particularly the Bayview Room but i did not book an accomodation then because im thinking of the budget for the party. What we did was we just go walk-in in the hotel hoping that there is available cheaper room.

Arrived in Hotel H2O in time for check-in (2:00pm).



When we arrived in Manila Ocean Park, we went directly to the hotel and we got the Aqua Room. I want sana the bayview room because i think maganda sya facing the Manila Bay but when we saw the Aqua room, maganda din pala and very relaxing.


Hallway going to our room :)

Hotel notes, info, restaurant's menu etc...


Taken after checking-in...

Since hubby was still drunk and kulang pa sa tulog, he decided to sleep muna while i went to Zenyu Eco Spa for the hotbed experience and massage. Hubby dont want to go with me because he is tired and experiencing headache.

Picture muna before going to the spa.

I suggest not to go walk-in in a hotel because you might end up paying more just like what we did. Hindi ako nakapagpabook ahead of time thinking na baka mas mura kapag walk-in but i was so wrong. Since we are walk-in, the bayview room that i wanted is not available anymore. We were given Aqua room that time, with no choice we agreed on the rate for an overnight stay but i think its really too expensive.

Aqua Room Published Rate: PhP 11,500.00
Walk-in Rate: PhP 8,540.00
Corporate Account: PhP 4,990.00

Pero ok lang anniversary naman namin and we enjoyed our stay in Hotel H2O.


Happy 6th wedding anniversary to us!
