Resorts World Promo - Last Chance Today





The promo buffet breakfast and lunch of Resorts World will end today. It’s a good thing I was able to experience the lunch buffet myself last Tuesday. On the menu that day were..


For starters
Light Pumpkin Soup
Salad Bar
Assorted Dinner Rolls
Maki


Main Course
Chicken Teriyaki
Roast Porkloin
Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet
Roast Beef
Stir-Fry Vegetable
Meaty Spaghetti
Plain Rice


Naturally, the menu will not be complete without the sumptuous desserts..


Dessert
Crème Brulee
Pudding with cream
Tres Leche Cake (with mango, kiwi and dragon fruit on top)
Lemon Squares


I love the chicken best. The beef was a bit rare for my taste. Water is provided but since there were a lot of people, there was a scarcity of drinking glasses. So we ordered our drinks. Honestly, for a hotel the prices were reasonable.


Coffee is at P85
Soda is at P75
Green Iced Tea is at P105
Lemon Iced Tea is at P115


All in all it was worth the drive from Makati :D


The breakfast buffet starts at 7am to 9am for only P88 and the lunch buffet starts at 11am for P188 as advertised but we actually paid P206 each. The restaurant that caters to this wonderful feast is Mercado. It is located at the main lobby of Resorts World Casino. You have to pass by the various slot machines and card tables to get there.


Important info to those of you who will go today, parking is located a little bit far from the main lobby of Resorts World but shuttle service is available for free. You’re welcome to tip the driver of course. Parking fee is P40. Valet service is also available. Btw, to those of you who are using Smart as your mobile service provider - signal is crappy at the area. Mind you, the queue during lunch time tends to be very long. So be there early. Sorry I was not able to get pictures – no cameras allowed.

Resorts World Manila is located at Newport Boulevard at the Newport City fronting NAIA Terminal 3.

Ran Ramen Tei - Cheap Eats at Fort Bonifacio

When people say Fort - they usually mean Global City, where Serendra and High Street are located. But there's more to to Fort Bonifacio than Global City.. If you manage to passby McKinley Hill or you went to Daboys wake and funeral .. you probably went through Bayani Road. Here, there's a nice Japanese joint that serves really good food. So when craving for that delicious Donburi or you just want to snack on maki.. Why spend so much on such Japanese dishes when you can enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine served hot/cold/fresh with a very reasonable price. Especially nowadays, when everyhting is expensive, people are looking for something that has value for money to offer.


This fastfood has attracted alot of Japanese golfers at the nearby driving range along Bayani Road. You can tell from the customers that the food suits them since they come back again and again to enjoy the simple ambiance and great food.


Randolph Rebleza, the manager/owner of Ran Ramen Tei, has managed to turn his small Japanese Food Counter into a modest fastfood restaurant in a span of just one year. During his opening months his target customers were the people who came from the happy hours. The mini counter offered assorted Donburi(rice bowl dish) and miso soup. The soup and other ramens was a knock out for the tipsy customers. The popularity of his food grew and later on he needed to man two shifts. The first one catering to his usual night customers and the new shift to cater to the early morning golfers. Soon he attracted more clients and he turned his joint into a family friendly place. This is when my husband started bringing me here. Since then I'm hooked and everytime I want to eat Japanese stuffs I directly go here and compared to the ones at the malls you spend less. You can even watch them cook it for you.



I personally like the Katsudon (deep-fried pork cutlet with egg, veggies and sauce). It reminds me of the ones I used to enjoy at the UMall during my collegiate years. Another thing I like about it is that the pork is still crunchy even when sauced.






Boo likes the Ebi Furai (fried crispy prawn) and the Gyoza (steamed dumplings slightly fried on one side). We both like the miso soup and assorted makis.



Some other popular dishes are the sizzling beef teppanyaki, tendon and tamago sushi. While the maki platter is popular with Japs.

Katsudon 70.00
Tendon 70.00

Tonkatsu 80.00
Ramen 70.00
California Maki 95.00
Gyoza 45.00
Miso Soup 25.00
