Tao Yuan - "Best Singaporean Food in Manila as Attested by the Singaporean Embassy"

I received a lot of raves from the Chinese community about this popular restaurant in Malate called Tao Yuan. Originally, they were only serving Hong Kong Cantonese dishes but when they brought in the Singaporean chefs, the word of mouth about their Hainanese Chicken spread like wildfire among the Chinese foodie community. A few days ago, I received a Facebook message from our foodie friends from the Singapore Embassy that Tao Yuan serves the Best Singaporean Food in Manila. I definitely agree!

Buona Vita Ristorante Italiano

Buona Vita is probably the only restaurant worth visiting along the Daang Hari area. This is the alternative road that connects Alabang to Tagaytay. It is located across the Verdana community in Daang Hari and probably the best Italian restaurant in that part of town.

We love their pizzas and the unique gelato flavor! As for the pasta, we tried the ravioli and it was obvious that it was prepared beforehand and reheated. The Ravioli place in the Robinson's Galleria food court is much better because it is made fresh on the day itself.

I was expecting the prices to be more affordable but it was priced like any Manila restaurant (and in some cases, more expensive, like for their Chef's specials).

Finally...the Greatest Show on Earth!

Finally, the Greatest Show on Earth -- The World Pyro Olympics (WPO) 2009 -- will be held at the Bonifacio Global City on November 21, 28, December 5, 12, and 19 (final dates) with eight countries showcasing breathtaking pyrotechnic displays. The viewing area will be located at the open area bounded by Bonifacio High Street, One Serendra, the old site of Speedzone Area, and MC Home Depot.

This year features a NEW SHOW FORMAT to be used by competing countries. Each pyromusical composition will run for 18 minutes and have the added feature of low-level effects, which were not utilized in past World Pyro Olympics, as they were shooting from barges on water. For the first time in the country, the competition will be synchronized with musical scores.

Block off your calendars for the Greatest Show on Earth! I've been a WPO Fan ever since the first World Pyro Olympics Competition in 2005. Our Awesome Planet is an official internet partner of World Pyro Olympics 2009. Watch out for WPO Contest, Announcements, Tips, and Fireworks Photography Sessions!
