I had fun last night! This is our barkada get together after the typhoon Ondoy. Some of my friends were badly affected by the disaster. But the good thing is that all of us are safe.

Yesterday was the kick off of the Mooncake Festival. We had "pua tiong chiu" with the rest of DH's family.

Yesterday, I went to Ongpin to buy mooncake at Royal Garden Restaurant. This is what we usually have for the mooncake festival when I was younger. Many brands have surfaced but I still want Far Eastern Mooncake.

Far Eastern Mooncake
I was surprised to see different kinds
of mooncake. First, you have to choose between black or white lotus.
Then choose between a plain one or with egg. Then there's mixed nuts! I
chose plain mongo PhP78 for myself and mongo with 1 egg PhP 108 for
DH. I bought two of each kind.

Sofitel Philippine Plaza
room 433
DH and I have the pleasure to stay in this 5 star hotel courtesy of my SIL. We made good use of the room by using it as the venue for my family's Pua Tiong Chiu or Mid-Autumn Mooncake Festival.
The room is big enough to occupy 10 persons with room to spare for you to walk around. As you enter, the huge king sized bed can be readily seen on your left. Two capiz lamp is found on both side of the bed. Four fluffy pillows and a tiny bolster are neatly arranged and are all covered in white linen. The bed is pristine white. A good sign of good things to come? read along~
king sized bed only in Sofitel Philippine Plaza
There is an individual thermostat provided for the airconditioner just in case you get a bit cold. A large console is placed opposite the bed and the tiny T.V. - 21 inch or NOT, if I'm not mistaken- is on top of it. The view from the bed of the television is crazy- too tiny to view it- Sofitel should have at least put on a 32 inch LCD t.v. Upon checking the channels, DH wonders why there were only a few and that no US channels present. It turns out you have to choose the SAT button instead of the TV button. The writing desk is adjacent to the console while a stainless floor lamp is beside the desk. Upon seeing the writing desk, DH quickly unpack his laptop to his dismay, a DSL connection costs PhP25/minute... duh~ Shouldn't it be free since you are paying top money for 5 star room and yet the DSL sucks because it charges per minute.
This year's Pua Tiong Chiu or Mid- Autumn Mooncake Festival is fast approaching and for you folks out there who wish to know the rules of the game, here is a link for you:
It is very detailed. So you won't have any difficulty at all.
