My Old Manila

A month ago, Thelma and I went to Escolta and Chinatown for a food trip in Ambos Mundos, the country's oldest restaurant since it is founded in 1888. We ordered paksiw na lechon, ambo's fried rice and talong with bagoong, tomatoes, onions - yummy! The resto looks like a time-warped 1970's place. Soo cool.

We also had to chase the Pasig River ferry - we were supposed to board at the Escolta station but as usual naiwan kami since ang sarap nga ng fud sa Ambo's and the chika chika. So we went to the next dock in Guadalupe but naiwan ulet so nag Powerplant Mall muna kami. Then finally we got to ride the ferry which brought us to Mexico - Intramuros!

Of course when we're there, we have to go to Our Lady of Guadalupe chapel but it's closed na. Same with Ang Bahay na Tsinoy. So ayun, we visited San Agustin Church again, and mall ulet sa Robinson's Place with Jenny at the Spaghetti House.

My eyes were sated, my stomach full and my heart is happy. Thank You Lord.
