Our room package comes with a free breakfast buffet for 2 at the Escolta. So, we indulge ourselves on the breakfast buffet. Who does not love breakfast right?
Egg Station
cereals and yogurts
cheese
antipasti
savory dishes
chocolate fondue for breakfast!!!
Here are some of the food that I ate:
Overall, the food is good but nothing to rave about. There is less selection than other hotels so you can easily spot which one you like.

Manila Peninsula is one of the biggest hotel around Makati City. They asserted itself as the “Jewel in the Capital’s Crown”. Their landmark would be the grand fountain with falls.
My friend and I decided to have staycation. Since I have the Pen Card, I booked this hotel and instantly they give me an upgrade! We just have fun and relaxation to take all our stress away.

When Lugang Café had this promo for the first time, we never got the chance to try it due to our busy schedules. So when this ad popped on my FB wall, I told my friends right away! And, we ate our hearts, stomachs out!
Below were thedishes we ordered:
Aweto Flower, Mushroom and Jelly Fish- this was our ultimate favorite, we ordered 3!
Taiwanese Omelette with Preserved Turnip Bits- this goes so well with the pickled cabbage
Taiwanese Pickled Cabbage
Vietnam Egg Rolls
Stewed Pig Slices
Soup of the Day
Xiao Long Bao –> very tasty, served hot, we ate 5 baskets of these!
Each get to choose 1 main dish. since are a group of 5, we got 5 dishes:
Chicken top with Scallion and Ginger Oil- the skin is fatty but tasty
Wasabi Mayo Prawns- must order, very delicious!!!
Taiwanese Crispy Chicken- very good, skin is crispy!
Oyster with Black Bean Sauce
Szechuan Tan Tan Noodles with Peanut Sauce
Overall, the dishes were delicious! Although this was supposed to be a PROMO, they did not scrimp on the ingredients. This was really a great deal!!!

After Chef Lau’s BFAST did not become a hit, they have an overhaul change to become Chef Lau’s Pugon Roasters. The ambiance is better and I noticed there are more people eating at this place. So after checking in at Manila Pen, we dropped by this place to have some lunch.
It shows that their food has no MSG

Fiftea is the newest milk tea place in town! Fiftea offers wide variety of milk tea that you cannot find in other stores. Their tea is freshly brewed everyday and does not use powder or extracts.
We ordered the Assam Red Milk Tea, I must say that they are delicious! You can taste the brewed tea and I like it. One thing I do not like about my drink is that the pearls are very hard so it’s an effort to sip!
