This is long-over due post..  I am not a big fan of Chinese foods, but I admit that I love quite a few dishes of the Chinese cuisine. After my daughter's event Last September 3 at the Sports Complex, we decided to go and roam around at Robinson's Place (Palawan). Upon arrival at the mall, my daughter told me that she' very hungry and she wants to eat first before roaming. So I asked her which place she would want to eat, I don't know what's got into her upon choosing Hainanese Delights!  I think she was attracted to the ads that was posted outside the restaurant.

Taylor Swift is back! And she's back with a BANG! My daughter will definitely love this new album just like the previous one!    Taylor Swift ’s highly-anticipated fourth studio album will be released nationwide on November 5 .  Entitled RED , the album will be released under MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines) and will contain 16 tracks. After writing her last album (Speak Now) entirely by herself, for this record Taylor collaborated with several artists, producers, and songwriters she had always wanted to work with. “For the last two years, I've been working on an album called Red ,” Taylor says. “I called it Red because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love and loss that it chronicles. In my mind, when you experience love that's fast paced and out of control and mixes infatuation, jealousy, frustration, miscommunication, and all of those lovely emotions… in retrospect, it all looks red.” Also catch the following Taylor Swift fan gather...

Lian T. Namoc Within a few weeks time, the restaurant was back in operating business again. A week after the fire they started deliveries and take-outs of pizza again. Good thing the brick oven survived. They've reconstructed the roof.  On the second week, the pastas and the salads came back: sarap-pinoy, tuna al pesto, puttanesca, seafood pasta, chicken al pesto, etc. On the third week the rest of the items in their menu one by one came back, too!
