 It was as if I was a kid again. I went all over the place. Ran like there was no tomorrow and even for a small time danced like a kung fu master. It was everything and more at DREAMPLAY CITY OF DREAMS MANILA.
 Ever wanted to feel the thrill of being one of the young ones again? At DREAMWORK'S DREAMPLAY in CITY OF DREAMS MANILA, you get to play, create, and learn. It's here that kids and kids at heart get to enjoy a lot of childhood fantasies and even for a time, become just that.
 Left and right, once you enter, you are greeted by the kind staff and assisted through everything that you could and must do. Safety is a priority in DREAMPLAY that's why harnesses are checked and properly attached to guests that would go for physical activities.
 Speaking of, two of the most amazing and must visit place in the park would be the THREAD OF ENLIGHTENMENT and the WALL OF DESTINY. Both are quite tiring but enjoyable. You get to walk the plank, climb walls, and even hang on for dear life.
Aside from these, there are other activities that could be fun as well. You can create your own dragon and see it fly. There are even giant slides that would make your body twist and turn.
If you are lucky, you might bump into one of the major characters and have your photo taken with them as well. It's like seeing your crush up close and personal. You get giddy and enjoy their company.

One thing I liked about DREAMPLAY is that you could actually hold your parties here. Not just for the kids but also for the grown ups as well.
You could have your very own dinner party. Just like a week back, select members of the media were shown just how fun it is to be like a kid again while enjoying the delicious offerings CITY OF DREAMS MANILA has.
The events catering at City of Dreams Manila is top notch that they think of different ways to make the party alive.

They are infused with different whiskys. Go for the chivas as it's exceptional.
I just want to thank the communications team and everyone at CITY OF DREAMS MANILA for organizing this wonderful treat. Having adults come on over to play and eat in DREAMPLAY is one unforgettable experience.

E BLOGGERS BALL 2017: A GATHERING OF INFLUENCERS

 It's not always that we get to enjoy a night of glam and glitz and dress up. At the recently concluded E BLOGGERS BALL, influencers were invited to attend this event to award the different top notch bloggers in their respected field. From trending, breakthrough, groupie, fashion, food, and travel.
 I for one, enjoy going out and looking good. Pardon the narcissistic tendency, but I really miss doing these kind of things. After everyone got a chance to mingle and check out the different sponsored booths, we were escorted to the grand ballroom of the CITY OF DREAMS MANILA. There, the stage was set.
Of course, food was on top of the list and I believe the kitchen did a wonderful job serving hundreds of attendees. The dinner started with the salmon sashimi appetizer. It had a ponzu jelly that gave it character and depth. I enjoyed this as I had seconds.
 The soup for the night was of a pumpkin base. It was all right and filling. The main course could have been better though. At first glance, you might think that it was a chocolate brownie. After forking it up, you realize that it's the Angus beef cheek. The flavor was somewhat monotonous and it lacked that factor to make it memorable. Granted that it was tender, it could have been better.
Thankfully, the dinner ended with a 24K Dark Chocolate Dome dessert. A flourless orange cake to was down everything. Drinks served were different types of beer from San Miguel and also some wine.
While the dinner was being served, everyone was serenaded by the talented, Clara Benin.  Definitely worth checking out her page for her covers.
 Afterwards, the awards were given out. Here are some of the winners on stage.

CITY OF DREAMS MANILA: NOBU and its Buffet.

 It never ceases to amaze me. Simple and straightforward as it seems, the NOBU BUFFET is one of the best Japanese Buffet in the metro.
 Guests are greeted by a long line of fresh sashimi and sushi rolls to delight even the pickiest eater.
 Aside from the delicious Japanese pancake, soup and sea bass dishes, guests are treated with pass around plates like this amazing shrimp popper. Properly coated and marinated, these crunchy shrimps are delightful.
 A couple more stations that needs a lot of attention from patrons would be the grilling and the carving station.
 Freshly cooked, selection of seafood, vegetables and meat are prepared in a simple manner. Sauces are made exclusively for these sticks. Be ready to mix and match so that you're able to maximize the dishes' flavorful profile.
 Another must visit area of the buffet would be the carving station. TO give NOBU a bit of Filipino flair, they chose to serve their in house lechon or roasted pig. Diners are asked which part of the meat they would love. The crunchy skin are aplenty and the insides are moist and tender.
 Dessert is an important part of the meal. In NOBU, they take care of this properly.
Aside from cakes and other pastries, they specialize in creating their own ice cream blends. From different flavors to even truffle parfait, guests are assured of variety.
The most luxurious dessert would have to be the matcha fountain. Decadent and indulgent, you could pick from different fruits to dip into this concoction.

Admittedly, the NOBU buffet isn't as big as it's competitors. What they lack in quantity, they make up in quality and the flavors of each dish they produce.

Aside from that, entertainment is provided by local bands and also a couple of drinking games and raffle await diners.
 As you enter the night club, you can't help but wonder the grandiose fixtures and the huge entrance. It seems you are transported away from the metro into something more relaxed, different and yet fun.
As you are assisted to your seats, you pass by an array of stations which serves different dishes that would definitely whet your appetite.

 It's meat overload. GRILL HAXE or roasted pork knuckles is accompanied by roasted farm chicken and a traditional Munich style roasted suckling pig.
 You are able to distinguish the smooth flavor of the roasted pig and the sauce makes a difference.
  Aside from the meatloaf, one must not skip the bacon.
 This BACON is not your ordinary fare. It is well cured and seasoned to perfection. It has a bit of sweetness in it and is delicate. You would definitely enjoy this with a cup of steaming hot rice and some eggs.
Since this is OKTOBERFEST, a good number of SAUSAGES were brought in and presented to the crowd.
Bratwurst, Weisswurst, Nurnberger, Knacker Bockwurst, Thuringer, Wiener Wurstchen, and a lot more were prepared. It's quite a thrill to taste different types of sausages that gives you a number of flavors and texture.
