Lunch in President Tea House SM City North EDSA

My visit: October 1, 2011

President Tea House

SM City 

North Ave. cor. EDSA

Bagong Pag- Asa, Quezon City

You have read about the unboxing of my new Panasonic Silveo Refrigerator. What I didn't tell you is that we spent half the day looking for the perfect replacement for our almost eight year old GE refrigerator. Several stores later, we were hungry so we decided to have our lunch in SM North EDSA. We searched around all floors in one of the buildings and found out that there was a limited choice until a familiar name of restaurant came to view- President Tea House.

I remember this restaurant because when I was a kid living in Manila, most of the invitations for large gatherings were held here. It is nice to see that the restaurant had already branched out. 

Being the predictable one, you should now that it was me who ordered asado rice topping. It was a bit dry though. My quest for the perfect asado continues.

Unboxing: Panasonic Silveo Refrigerator for Cool & Eco Life

Early last week, I found out that our almost eight year old GE refrigerator was not cooling well. I called for service and learned that the compressor was the culprit... sigh!

Panasonic Silveo Series Inverter 19.0 cu. ft.  NR-BY 551 SRP: PhP54, 999

Panasonic claims that "It's the only bottom type refrigerator with Inverter Technology in the Philippines".

DH and I searched for replacement over the weekend and narrowed down our choices to two brands- SAMSUNG and PANASONIC. I really like Samsung's style & design- 18.0 cu. ft. French door with bottom freezer plus door "alarm"- when it's not properly closed BUT it's out of stock... gaaaah!

We settled for Panasonic Inverter refrigerator instead because it has eco features like high energy efficiency factor (EEF) and that it has almost no effect on global warming. This unit uses totally NON-FLON materials both for refrigerant (Iso- butane) and for insulation (Cyclo- Pentane) so it doesn't damage the earth's ozone layer.
