My trip here is made courtesy of Ramada Central Manila, the First and only 5-star Hotel right in the Heart of Manila Chinatown!

In the meantime, I’m leaving you with this postcard, featuring the Prosperity salad. a mix of raw fish, with fine strips if veggies and dressings. The ingredients are then tossed before eating.

Prosperity Salad is a popular fare among the Chinse during the Lunar New year!

Stay tuned for my story on this!

Review: GoHotels PH Tacloban

Enrico Dee Leave a comment

It’s clean, decent, and reasonably priced. That’s what GoHotels PH is all about. A few weeks ago, Mervin and I was in Tacloban City to cover the Christmas Festival in Palo.

I have tried the other branches of GoHotels, most recently was the GoHotelsPH Bacolod City. So more or less, I know what to expect here in their Tacloban City property.

Enrico Dee Leave a comment

No, this is not a hotel. This is an art gallery! I quipped in disbelief. The hotel lobby is really lovely. Interesting pieces can be found in every corner of The House of Cebu. A new Design Hotel. It has opened its opened its doors only early this year.

The House of Cebu hotel

The hotel is owned by the Filipino and German couple May & Detlef Ernst. The story started when the couple used to travel around the world. Finally decided to settle down in Cebu and built a hotel. They brought with them art pieces and collectible items they acquired during their journey.
