Nothing else

How important is food in the social life of Filipinos? When we say "restaurant row," we mean it literally. This is the restaurant side of the Greenhills Promenade in San Juan City, in the same complex as Metro Manila's most famous tiangge (bazaar).

How time flies! April is almost done and I'm again reminding all CDP bloggers about our next theme day. The May 1 theme is Statues, and have you voted for the June theme already?

«Louis» is happy with any place not serving le boeuf...

Looks like a LOT of fun. I really like the architecture too. It's incredibly inviting which serves the restaurant business well.

So many choices. How do you decide?

Lowell said...

We have something similar - our food courts in our shopping malls...but this looks much nicer and like much more fun!

And yes, from your blog I have concluded that Filipinos do enjoy eating!

Nice, colorful photo!

A two-day prayer retreat? How nice for you, Hilda. May you hear good things in the silence.

A very nice place, I'd like to explore this... Thanks for reminding us about Theme Day and June theme poll!

Lois said...

I would have a terrible time trying to decide where to eat with that much to choose from!

Cezar and Léia said...

Well Hilda, I'm doing some diet ( oh girl, I need to do it right this time! LOL), but this place looks wonderful, you always find charming places there!
I really don't know what I could choose...

I think every city has it's resto row. :) Looks like you have some nice choices here.

I am still looking for a statue for the upcoming theme day. I better get to work!

Mo said...

I'll head straight there if I ever get to Manilla

Kaori said...

So many choices! I'd be the one walking around saying "This looks good...Ooh THIS looks good, too!" and not being able to choose :)

I think I would enjoy eating my way through Restaurant Row (over several days!).

WOW!!! Most of my families and friends that visits the Philippines comes back all skinny. Now, if I go, I would probably gain weight, LOL! I would go crazy if I visit :-)
