Yakimix Prime is one of the growing eat-all-you-can restaurant around the metro. Yakimix Prime has a wide selection of Japanese, Korean and Cantonese cuisine. They are different from their restaurant, Yakimix, because they serve wagyu at their grilling station.

What I ate:

IMG_1103Their Chinese food is the big hit for me that night!

IMG_1106Grilled wagyu, sausages and kebab

IMG_1110Chinese food again

No desserts for me that night since I was already full. The Chinese selection was really a big hit for me that night because it was very delicious and tasty! Some stations I did not bother to check since it was always empty. There are many people that night that even they refill, it disappears faster.

No need to worry since Yakimix Prime is part of the Lover’s Club.

Enchanted Garden is located inside the HongKong Disneyland Hotel. You need to purchase the coupon separately and there are 2 time slots for the breakfast. What is nice about the breakfast is that you’ll see Mickey Mouse and friends roaming around to say hi!

Overall experience is great! Checking in may take a long time since they have many guest. It is a nice experience to stay here, there are Disney characters everywhere. It is a relaxing stay for us. Just a tip, there are limited restaurants inside the hotel, so we bought our food and drinks in Citygate Mall before heading back to the hotel.

A new breakfast place in town had open near our office in McKinley Hill! My officemates and I check it out right away since we love breakfast! Wicked Waffle also served Bon Appetea milk teas.

This is what we ordered:

10602648_10152631231648754_1032882326_nBlueberry Waffle

Over-all, the food is not great. I find it very expensive since it is very small. I can feel that I can cook this dishes at home with a better quality. For the waffle, it is good since it is freshly made but you need to wait for 10 minutes.

When Manila opened Fairmont Hotel, everyone is excited to check out Spectrum. Spectrum served high quality food from all over the world. When my officemate asked us that their was if we want to ate their since there was  a 50% discount for BPI Gold credit card holders every Monday, we got all excited. We are all very excited, I assure you!

As I walked around and took pictures of the food, the servers are very cheerful and will greet you with a big smile. That is a plus factor me as it will set the mood.

Here are some of the photos I took:
