Wednesday With D
After being a housewife a.k.a. cooking Sinigang for lunch, we were off to MOA to buy Superman I-Max movie tickets. We have been going to this mall for dinner everyday, yet we failed to buy tickets on time. There's no reason to feel bad though, we got the best seats on July 5 at midnight. Yay! Read this : I'm not reading anyone's blog about the movie yet, he he. I like a little suspense this time. But the advice about waiting for the credits after the X-Men movie was really helpful. Wink. You should have seen the long lines in the regular cinema for Superman, it is enough to finance another SM building , lucky lucky Henry Sy!
We did a little shopping afterwards and craved for Pinoy dish for dinner. Our tired feet took us to the Lord Stow's Bakery for a delicious Tuna Royale (prepared right in front of you and they make use of fresh ingredients - cucumber, carrots and lettuce), Chicken Arrozcaldo (porridge) and Japanese Iced Tea - definitely a must try in the mall. The store was established in Macau in 1989 and has since branched out in different Asian countries including Hongkong, Singapore and Korea. They offer a different menu per country but the bakery has the same products. 
And where did we have our dessert? In far away city within a city for some Haagen-dazs. Eastwood City will soon be called the "city that never sleeps" because come July, bars and restaurants will be open until the early mornings to cater to the "call center crowd". Until now, it remains to be the only late-night shopping center, closing at around 11:00 pm while all the others close between 9:00 to 10:00 pm. Get cozy in the Mediterranean structures and unique stores all around. The extra-ordinary set-up is a shopping haven, there is even one building that especially caters to the needs of computer fanatics. It is indeed shopping 'till you drop in this city of lights.
Wednesdays are happy days. Wink.
I like the concept for Eastwood City, where people are encouraged to walk. Most pinoys don't like to take long walks, that's we have so many pedicabs and tricycles for those who can't walk for a few more blocks. I will definitely visit that place the next time I'll be in Manila. BTW, the ice cream looks yummy! :)

Hi Carey, that concept is one of the best that I enjoy in Eastwood. Walking around malls is the only exercise I do , lol.

Hi Charles, I think all Filipinos love Sinigang, he he. Sayang about the non-availability of Haagen Dazs, maybe when you travel, you can get it in other countries :)

Is that IMAX Superman movie in 3D as well? That'd be fantastic!
Hmmm...maybe we'll have sinigang for lunch today. BTW, haven't been over to MOA. I might check it out this weekend, including Lord Stow Bakery as you've mentioned.
Thanks!

The whole movie is a regular film. And then there's a special 20 minute feauture in 3D. You might want to watch the movie in IMAX Senor since you're going to check out the mall anyway :)
