FEATURE STORY

Starbucks Domicillo Design Hotel

"A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent." While there's a lot of Starbucks out there each offering the same coffee, as far as location and view are concerned, no one offers a view so panoramic, heavenly, dreamy and divine that is Starbucks Domicillo Hotel. Imagine sipping your favorite Chocolate Cream Chip Frappucino overlooking the ethereal Taal Volcano, how dope must that be? Today me and my friend decided to have a quick one-day-only getaway to escape stress in the nearby Tagaytay City. Adulting can be very tiring so we both needed to replenish before we get consumed by exhaustion. A friend of mine recommended this new Starbucks and upon seeing pictures online, I died. The superb view is something poets would draw inspiration! The exterior looks so mundane and quite appalling at some point. Inside is just another Starbucks with tables and chairs and couches and as go further, Taal is already waving at you and i...

We were so upset that time and we both agreed that only food can do the pampering. Al Karama after all is known spot in Dubai where a wide range of budget-friendly yet sumptuous foods can be found. We passed by several food stalls but was drawn to Agemono, a buffet restaurant that offers teppanyaki, sushi, and Filipino cuisines. Ambience        I did a little bit of research and found out that there are several branches of Agemono in Dubai as well as in the other Emirates. Our focus is this one in Al Karama which I find so cozy enough from the time we entered its doors. It can accommodate around 40 persons at a time suited for small and medium gathering. It feels home inside actually because of the way the interior was designed plus the backgr...

Rediscovering Dubai, UAE: Festival City

       Few months ago, a first of its kind laser and water show was heavily advertised on Facebook and from then I knew that I would love to see its first show at Festival City. But for some reasons, work related perhaps, I was not able to attend. Fast forward today, a very good friend of mine brought us to Festival City and finally witnessed the said light show.        Dubai Festival City is a 1300 acre, premier waterfront urban community that has been designed to keep up with Dubai's dream of being the top city in the world. It offers a rich and vibrant living experience with amenities for s hopping, d ining, e ntertainment and leisure. It also boasts r esidential community with villas, apartments and duplexes. There are two international schools as well as luxury hotels and lots of commercial offices.        There's so much to Festival City than just the light show. There are shopping mall, r...
