MANILA

Hii there! Its been a while. You know, to write anything you need a good mood to write. And i just have found that mood to write minutes ago. 😂😂
So, here we go. 
I never imagine myself to visit Philippines. I mean i love traveling and i will definitely visit all countries  including the most unattractive country like India or Ethiopia . But i love new things, new adventures. But the story why i visit Phil because Ivan (my bf) went there for work. So i, my family and his family decide to visit there at lebaran holiday. I have a little knowledge of Philippine. I just know Boracay , its a famous island like Bali and Cebu where you could swim with whale and shark! Very fascinating right? 
But after deliberation and some information from local friends of Iv's, finally we decide to visit Manila and Palawan Island. Instantly i and my brother start to googling and searching and heckk yeahhh it is definitely a worthed place to see! Its fab and have an amazing view. So we start to book our plane. Well at first we try to book Cebu but theres no meals so we decide to book Philippines Air. Just cents more expensive but have meals and much more comfy based on people's review. 3.4 mio/pax 
Dont ask for SQ, it far too expensive for us. Like 15 mio/pax. 

We tried some resraurants including Breakfast at Antonio's at Tagaytay. It has a really cozy ambience of Latin american. And i love all the uniform, place and foods!!! But the price isnt too friendly. 

Tagaytay is like a high place in Manila, in Jakarta its like puncak. 
Nice one. And not far from Manila. 

In Manila there are ride that called "Jeepney" its like Jeep but its like angkot version in indonesia. Haha. Jeepney actually is a derived version of jeep which US military used as utility during the war. 
It made by steel and its really like angkot because they are freely go anywhere they way in a bad way. 😂
But beside the famous jeepney, you could also try MRT or tricycle.

In Manila, we also went to the malls like Shangrila La Plaza Mall, SM MALL OF ASIA, SM MEGAMALL and GREENBELT in Makati ( place where we stay, just 5 mins from our apartment) And yeah its quite big like Jakarta but not too fancy like Plaza Indonesia or Grand Indonesia. But its worth to see and don't forget to buy the famous snacks Polvoron. 
There are many flavors, but the fav one is Ubi( sweet potato)

Like we all know most Philippines people are catholic and so do we. 
We enjoy ourselves by visiting church to church, and the church are huge and beautiful. They have a different rules compare to indonesian's catholic church. 
And yeah of course we went to Manila Cathedral. They have many schedule by the way since too many person go to church, so it wont be too crowded.
Also. San Agustin 
Nice church, seriously. 

If you like museum, you must go to Filipinas Heritage Library and Ayala Museum. But i didnt went there because there is no enough time :( 
Also you have to go to Intramuros its like an old city and has pretty garden and also has something like Maccu Piccu. And there are a lot of Plaza there like plaza de roma, plaza miranda etc and all are pretty. 

Nah, my fav topic. FOODS!! Lol
There are a lot good food there! 
There is Jollibee, most famous fast food in Manila and you could find it anywhere. Because Jollibee are everywhere!! Haha. Jollibee serve fried chicken etc. 
At CHOWKING, You can taste its famous ice cream called HALO and also there are much snacks like dumplings, spring rolls etc. 
and yeah dont miss GOLDILOCKS, they have all delicacies of those with a sweet tooth like Ensaymada, mamon (a spongy round cake) and surely savory Sariwa and the MOST FAMOUS LONGANISA (its like lapchong but WAAAAY MUCH MORE DELICIOUS!! ) beware: it content PORK 

And yeah enough about Manila, later i wil talk about El Nido. 
Still long way to go
