HOLIDAY SEASON IN HOTEL JEN MANILA

That amazing sight. This was one of the many dishes that stood out at the recently held CHRISTMAS TREE Lighting Event at HOTEL JEN MANILA.
Because of the Christmas rush, I was pretty early at the event. Believe it or not, I think I was there 2 hours before the call time. Thankfully, Hotel Jen is one of the few hotels in the metro that openly offer their valet service at no cost. Granted, that you as a guest do get your ticket validated. Going back, there was a sweet and simple ceremony. There was a choir and even a couple of singers having a blast in front of a huge crowd.
As a foodie, I was pleasantly surprised and happy with the spread that HOTEL JEN prepared. Aside from the huge prime rib, there were a number of side dishes that went well with it. Furthermore, Latitude even brought out more dishes that would make your stomach happy and your eyes salivate.
They had roasted pork belly that was super tender and crispy. Plus, they also had sweet ham. Definitely reminisce of how Filipinos spend their Christmas eve together. Just partner it with a piece of bread and it's good to go.
Healthy food lovers need not despair as they have tons of choices. Aside from the fresh sashimi and sushi, they also had a number of must try salads and other appetizers.

It was pretty fun seeing clams, shrimps, crabs, and other seafood delights were packed in ready to carry tin cups.
HOTEL JEN MANILA celebrates the holiday season by inviting everyone to head on over and have a jolly good time by staying for a night or two. Plus, they have a special New Year's Eve Countdown that is definitely festive. Cheers!

NEW YEAR PARTY in HOTEL JEN MANILA


Since my mom and brother were staying abroad for the holidays, my dad and I figured that we should have a staycation instead of the usual fireworks and late night shindigs at home. Since I wanted my dad to experience something different, we opted to book a room at HOTEL JEN MANILA.

HOTEL JEN MANILA is located across CCP and is along Roxas Boulevard. It was the old Holiday Inn that transformed into Trader's and is now Hotel Jen under the Shangri-la Group.
We figured that since we were there for New Year's, we bought a couple of tickets to their Countdown Party.
After checking in and settling down, this was the view out of of the window.
Since the party doesn't start till late, I went and opted for a quick snack. Although pricey at around 150Php, the oats with fruits was pretty good. It was refreshing.
At around 10pm, my dad and I went upstairs to the 19th floor club lounge to join the party.

Everything was taken cared of. There was even a dance floor. All the guests had individual tables and chairs assigned to them so it was really organized.
Drinks were unlimited from local beers to juices and soft drinks. I went around though and checked out the food.

I enjoyed these salmon mousse. Pretty good. Neutral and not too heavy.
Fruits and salads were abundant.
The mango and shrimp salad was pretty good too.

Japanese rolls were also present.

Aside from the hor d'oeuvres and finger food. They also had a bunch of viands that would stand in a meal. Desserts were also present. From different short cakes to fruits.
A few minutes before the stroke of midnight, champagne flutes were distributed and the count down commenced.
IT was awesome. The DJ really knew how to play and had the party going. People went on the dance floor and danced and then BOOM!!! Happy New Year!
And that was my New Year's Eve experience. I shared it with my dad, who actually enjoyed it. It was his first time to actually have a staycation experience as he usually stays in hotels for out of town business. Anyway, I hope 2016 brings more luck, blessings, good health, and love to everyone. Cheers!
