Kidzcool

We kept on postponing a trip to Kidzcool but last Saturday we finally went there. EJ had fun and was tired after almost three hours inside.

Fun slide with water splash at the bottom

EJ tried wall climbing but he got scared after a few steps

He was scared at first but stayed here the longest.

Couldn't resist a ride.

He had so much fun playing soccer.

Who says only kids have fun? I did! LOL! While hubby had team building, EJ and I bonded over at Kidzcool. We had lunch at KFC right after. It was a great Saturday morning.

Good food and great view

If you have been following my blog, you'd know by now that hubby and I are big fans of buffets. And it shows in our body. LOL!

Last week, we tried the buffet at Himawari Hotel. We were actually not so keen to try it because their Christmas buffet wasn't good.

But to our surprise, it was way better than their Christmas buffet and cheaper too.

We love the buffet at Raffles but if I can consider the view and the price, I think I'd be coming here more often.

Yummy oyster! I am not an oyster eater but this was one was so fresh it tasted..fresh. LOL!

My favorite, salmon sashimi! Yumminess to the max. I don't think I shared this with hubby. I ate it all by myself.

Boats with many colors! Made the view more romantic somehow.

I know I should avoid the buffet like the plague if I want to lose weight. But how can I give up this? Oh no!

Girlfriends and food

My friends just left the house. I am tired but happy. I invited my girl friends for lunch here at home. Nothing special, I just wanted to cook and let them sample my cooking.

Being the host, I didn't have time to take photos of the food. I was busy making sure my guests had enough food and drinks.

EJ took my camera and started shooting. But too bad there was no SD card inside.

My friends came at 12nn and they left at 4pm. We had non stop "kwentuhan" and laughter.

I am so happy I have found great friends here in Phnom Penh. Thank God!

Thank you Z, Che, Mel, Janet, Lui and Ate Elma for coming. I really had a wonderful time with you guys. And thank for making me feel you liked the food I prepared. LOL!

Regency Cafe

Last Friday's dinner date was at Hotel Intercon's Regency Cafe. We were in the mood for another buffet dinner. LOL!

We arrived at 6:30pm and the place was still empty. The waiter came to our table and told us that it was semi-buffet. Uh-oh. Appetizer and main course were to be ordered. Buffet is for the salad bar, noodle station and dessert.

The salad bar was fully stocked. I took advantage of it.

My appetizer - fried dumplings in lemon grass. So filling.

Hubby's appetizer - Deep fried prawn with coconut coating. Hubby said it was delish. I forgot to take a picture of our main dish. Suffice it to say we we're soo full we almost had no room for dessert. Almost! Hahaha!!

I had fruits for dessert. This picture doesn't do justice to the color of the fruits. They were rich in color. The fruits were fresh and super yummy!

This was their ice cream station. There were so many toppings. It looked absolutely tempting.

I was so full I felt sluggish. I didn't even have the energy to turn on my laptop and research about auto insurance quote when we reached home. Bad me.

The brown shoes

EJ loves his new brown shoes he got from his Tito Jeff last Christmas. I love it too. I was planning to buy a Superga for myself. But we had little time in Manila, let alone for shopping.



Anyway, thank you Tito Jeff for a very nice and sturdy shoes. It will go a long way.

Nagaworld Spa

We finally visited Nagaworld's spa last Monday. We've been hearing nice reviews from hubby's colleagues. We were intrigued.

The place is awesome. I've never been to a massage room that looks like a hotel room. There was a flat screen TV hanging on the wall.

And there was a jacuzzi, a steam bath and a dry sauna inside. It really felt like we were in a hotel room. Check out some of my photos:






The downside? The therapists weren't professional. Or should I say they are not well-trained. The massage itself felt like it was done in a hurry. And when the therapist asked me to turn around, the pillow was still not ready. I had to crunch up while she finds a pillow for me to lie down. She also forgot to ask me if I wanted a tummy and breast massage.

I guess the difference between a great service and a poor service lies in the littlest of things.

But are we coming back? Yes, it's only because of the jacuzzi, steam bath and the dry sauna.

Juicin' up

Hubby and I are trying to be healthy. That's our new year's resolution, if you can call it that.

After a trip to the bookstore, we went to buy a juicer. I was inspired by the book I was reading about juicing up and staying slim and healthy for life.

I of course tried the juicer immediately. I didn't have a recipe so I just combined some fruits: strawberry and grapes; apple, avocado and orange. It was good!

Today I will try to make a carrot juice and maybe mix it up with some fruit. I will also try to google exposed acne treatment review, opps..lol! I mean google some recipe for more exciting flavours.

Hahaha, it's getting me all excited.
