InterContinental Hotel's Cafe Jeepney Buffet

We had dinner at the InterContinental Hotel's Cafe Jeepney Monday night.  I bought 5 vouchers months ago from Ebay.ph Kuponan at 50% off.  Since I already knew Papang and Mommy were visiting, I grabbed the deal.  It would our one big dinner during their trip.

Richard and I are also celebrating our wedding anniversary so the plan came together.  The intent was to have the dinner on April 24, but they didn't have buffet on that particular Sunday (Holy Week) so we decided to go April 25 instead.  (It pays to call and reserve!)  We were there before 7PM and stayed just before 9AM.  As a group, we tried a little of almost everything.

Food! We didn't try any of the breads at all.
Overall, the food was good.  There are enough choices to satisfy (not overwhelm) everyone - grilled food, sushi, salads, pasta, and desserts.  It was relaxing and pretty laid-back dinner experience.  Probably because it was a Monday and only a few tables were occupied.

I think this is a bit overpriced if you have to pay P1616 but a good deal at 50% off.  This family doesn't eat a lot so it still was not very sulit for us as well (vs. ordering ala carte in a restaurant), but the experience of sharing a meal with family made it worth it.  Special dinner because the parents were visiting.=)

Btw, kids below 4yo eat free.  Neil just had a little of the salmon and fried rice.  He was well-behaved most of dinner which gave all of us time to enjoy our food.  Then he got bored and wanted to walk around the restaurant and hotel lobby.  By then I was done eating so it's all good.

We took a few photos at the lobby.

About the vouchers, I did not have any trouble with them at all.  I just gave them the printouts and signed the tab at the end of dinner.  Easy breezy!

Around the Internet 12.09.11

This week's notable links are related to world population.  I tend to be interested in a subject, read about it and discover these links. 7 Billion on National Geographic .  Special series on the world's 7B population, with stories and discussions.  They have a counter of world population as well. 7 Billion Actions .  A site where anyone can upload a story, highlighting positive action.  I was checking through the site and was encouraged by all the good work that people do.  Really, we can be hopeful.  It's just a pity that only the sensational negative stories get highlighted in the media.  Positive stories are found right here.  And thanks to the internet for making this possible. What's Your Number?   7 billion is an overwhelming number.  This site let's you enter your birthday and plots you on the population chart and identifies your specific number (datapoint).  Of course this is not perfect and employs some algorithm to estimate where you are on the cha

It's Not Complicated: Samson and Delilah, Ruth and Boaz

Image
The last two topics for the preaching series on love entitled 'It's Not Complicated' were on Samson and Delilah, and Ruth and Boaz. ( Podcast here ) Samson and Delilah .  The story of Samson and Delilah can be found in Judges 13.  Before Samson was born, his mother was visited by an angel who said to her, "You will become pregnant and have a son whose head is never to be touched by a razorbecause the boy is to be a Nazirite, dedicated to God from the womb. He will take the lead in delivering Israel from the hands of the Philistines.”  Samson was destined to lead and deliver Israel from its enemies.  But we know that his life was far from simple.  He made personal decisions that changed the course of his life, including marrying Delilah, which eventually led to his death.  It's a tragic story and Pastor Joe explained why it happened to Samson - wrong place, wrong standard, wrong person. Samson, although he was set apart as a Nazirite, spent time in Philistin

Filipino Friday 3: Reading Habits and Book Formats

Image
Reading Habits and Book Formats . Where and how do you read? Can you read anywhere and everywhere, or do you need a certain place/mood/state of mind to get reading? Do you read more in the morning or at night or any minute that you can? Where and how do you usually read? Are you exclusively for print, or do you go for ebooks more than print? Have you ever tried audiobooks? I am old school.  Even as most books now have digital versions, I still prefer the physical, ink-on-paper variety.  I like holding a real book, flipping the pages and being able to see my progress based on the thickness of read/unread pages.  Somehow, I feel more engaged and focused reading a physical book vs. from a gadget. I very rarely reread books so most of my collection just sit on the shelf after I'm done with them.  I feel it's a waste of precious trees if they are not shared with others.  So I started a Google doc at work where the team can list down their collections and anybody interested in
