The extravagant lobby of the Manila Hotel<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>We were very fortunate to be invited by Paul’s uncle for a dinner at the Manila Hotel- so with the rest of the family we headed out to Manila Hotel one Monday evening- even if some of us still had work\/was in the middle of work.\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>I was really excited to go to Manila Hotel- I mean we are talking about a hotel which has such great history aside from its great beauty. Just think that the Manila Hotel is the oldest premiere hotel in the Philippines and was also the residence of Gen. Douglas MacArthur from 1935-1941 and for a history buff like me that was enough to make me drool. :p\u00a0<\/span>

<\/span>Aside from the rich history that surrounds the Manila Hotel no one can deny its lavish architecture and extravagant fixtures it is after all a five star hotel. \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/div>\n

Welcome. Dinner was at Cafe Ilang-Ilang.<\/span><\/p>\n
We had a buffet dinner at Cafe Ilang Ilang. The buffet consisted of a wide variety of cuisines from all around the world \ud83d\ude42 They had a different station for a type of food like: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, etc. :p\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

Paul, trying a little camera trick. This is a shot of the pool and the lights- Paul did a turn around motion \u00a0with his camera to catch the blur of the lights. <\/span><\/p>\n

It was a great experience to be able to have dinner at Cafe Ilang Ilang in Manila Hotel, it just makes me want to stay there longer. Maybe next time we can actually stay a night \ud83d\ude42\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
