Movie Stars Cafe is a movie-themed restaurant located in SM Mall of Asia Seaside Blvd. Every night, Superheroes and Villains perform on stage bringing good-vibes ambiance to the restaurant.


The best time to go here is dinner time because of the cool performances of the cosplayers wearing superheroes costumes. 


They also serve buffets but we chose ala carte menus instead. 





The place is a good option to hang-out with your friends and family. For sure, they will enjoy it!

» The Food «

The hotel comes with free buffet breakfast at Veranda Cafe. What I don't like here was we have to drive over to get to the lobby just to eat food. By the way, it's far away from the hotel rooms. On the positive side, the breakfast available was delicious enough.

After 2 years of working in Makati City, I’ve transferred to Alabang for new and challenging environment. It’s really tiring to commute everyday (3 hours only for one way travel. Yay!). Anyways, I’m currently working at Madrigal Business Park, Ayala Alabang. Molito Lifestyle Mall is just a few steps away from my workplace. During my 1st week at work, I’ve tried few affordable restaurants in Molito Lifestyle Mall.


BBQ Chicken and Beer

During my first day (January 5, 2015), I’ve tried this restaurant. Do you know that they are promoting healthy eating by using 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil? Yes! You heard it right! Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has many health benefits.

***It’s not Barbecue. It’s Best of the Best Quality Chicken!


Update: The store is now closed.






Grilled Chicken Bulgalbi Set (2 pcs) - Php 235.00
High quality fresh meat barbecued with special grilled chicken sauce for creating Korean unique taste. 


Recovery Food

I’ve tried this restaurant last Wednesday (January 7, 2015). If you want to recover something like poor health, etc, you may try this one. Recovery Food also uses organic rice. They also have brown rice too! They are open 24 hours a day.




Porqua - Php 185.00
(Tender brined pork fillets with organic petchay rice (brown or white)


Cravings

They serves continental dishes. They also serves salad for their buffet.

Update: The store is now closed.







Tenderloin Tips Skillet - Php 480.00
Tender cuts of beef sautéed with in-season vegetables


Salad

Four Cheese Lasagna - Php 340.00
Layers of pasta and red meaty sauce topped with creamy béchamel


Soga Miga

If you're looking for an authentic Korean restaurant, this restaurant is worth to try. It's better if you're in a group. The restaurant often gets full mostly at lunch and dinner time.

Update: The store is now closed. But they have a branch in Silang, Cavite. You can try it there. :)

I’m Ulyssa Elaine - The Dreamer. Yes! You heard it right? I’m a women with few goals in life. You can check out my Bucket List section for my future goals. But for the year 2015, my goals are:

●  Invest on Philippine Stock Market. - I know I’m too young to be a stockholder but I’m really serious on investing on stock market.

● Sponsor a child in World Vision Philippines. - I’m a person with a good heart. (Don’t stare at me! hahaha!) I’m serious. Since I graduated college at a very young age (19 yrs old), I want to share a few pieces of my savings to less fortunate. (Ang kabataan ang pag-asa ng bayan, right?)

● Travel at least 2 countries. - Yes! I want to experience travelling solo this year. Hopefully at least 2 countries but if not, it’s ok. It’s better to save money for the future. Travel is just my relaxing zone.


How about you? What are your goals for this year (2015) ? Share your thoughts.
