Marriott Hotel's Flavors of Thailand

5-star Marriott Hotel Manila flew in Marriott Cafe's Thai food ambassador, Chef Thanatorn Krobsuay from one of the most contemporary Marriott properties in Asia, the JW Marriott Bangkok, to the Philippines to celebrate the rich and unique flavors of authentic Thai cuisine with us Filipinos.

Dubbed as one of Asia's most favorite cuisines, Thai food has been gaining its popularity worldwide because of its relishing tastes. From August 1 to 30, experience Thailand's flavors and satisfy your taste buds with Chef Thanathorn's sophisticated style and expertise in Thai cooking which never fails to make people crave for more.


Yuri, Garvin and I sampled what they had to offer that night. Thai food choices include the Green Chicken Curry, Thai Fried Rice with Shrimp, Phad Thai, Deep Fried Pork Canapes, Spicy Wok-Fried Seafood, Thai Pizza and some Thai Desserts.


Of course, we were also treated to Thai Iced Tea, which was really good and refreshing in my opinion. The next two photos are the Thai Pandan Lemon Cake and my favorite dessert of the night, the Bread Pudding :)


If you want to dine out and taste authentic Thai cuisine that will play with your palates and give you a yummy experience, I suggest you try Marriott's Flavors of Thailand.

Super Sunday

We went to The Arena in San Juan to root for our UP Men's Volleyball in their best of 3 Finals game against UST. It's really unfortunate that there were only more or less a handful of student who went out of their way to cheer for our awesome team. While UST or FEU or DLSU had a multitude to their side, UP had the drums, but so little of the manpower to cheer. This is something we must fix next year.






In any case, we didn't sit down anymore, instead, we went to the cheering squad for reinforcement. It was fun being with the cheering squad, shouting our lungs out with the drums.






After the game, we went to Victory Greenhills to attend service. Pastor Steve Murell, founder of our church was the one who preached. He talked about the legacy we should leave, in our one life to live. It was very powerful, striking and moving.






Side-tripped afterward to shop for stuff for tomorrow, and dinner at Soms. :) See'ya guys!
