Get To Know Some Of Langkawi’s Best Restaurants
The tropical island of Langkawi has so many things to offer: beautiful beaches, shopping districts, amazing destinations, and unique hotels found only in Langkawi. But if there’s one thing they’re known for, it’s the food. They serve some of the best local delicacies in Malaysia, the freshest seafood catch, and a highly lauded international fare.
To guide you on your culinary trip to Langkawi island, here is a list of some of the best places to eat.
The Gulai House
The Gulai House is set in a 10-million year old forest and built in the form of the traditional kampung house. The spacious restaurant is divided into sections: al fresco dining, well-lit alcoves covered with organza drapes, and traditional Malay low tables and cushion mats made of hand-woven pandan. Before you can get a taste of their delectable dishes, a wait-staff dressed in traditional Malay garb will help you go through the hand washing ritual, a way to celebrate customs.
For your appetizer, try their big platter of Malay favourites and taste a variety of delights in one sitting. A dish called Otak Otak is composed of grilled fish and prawns, cooked on a banana leaf and filled with shredded vegetables and coconut cream. Their Renda Daging, voted one of CNN’s most delicious food in the world, is composed of tenderloin strips seasoned with blue ginger, grated coconut, and lemongrass.
Langkawi Fish Farm Restaurant
Located in Kuah, Langkawi Fish Farm Restaurant allows diners to choose live seafood to ensure freshness. It is an open-air and spacious restaurant that offers patrons a lively dining atmosphere and a view of the Andaman Sea as they enjoy their mantis prawns, lobsters, and clams.
Enjoy signature dishes such as Barbeque Lobster, Nyonya-style grouper, Thai-style steamed fish, and Chili Crab. It may be pricey though, but I’m guessing fresh food like those prepared by Langkawi Fish Farm Restaurant is worth every penny.
The Pavilion Restaurant
The best place to taste authentic Thai cuisine in Langkawi is at The Pavilion. An award-winning restaurant that is perched high on a rainforest canopy, The Pavilion provides food lovers with an al fresco dining experience and treated to classical Thai music.
The dishes are prepared a la minute to ensure that patrons are given only the freshest and the best meals. They are presented in ceramic bowls and they look as fantastic as they taste. You must try their Poh Pia Goong which is prawn lemongrass rolls, Gai Hor Bai Toey which is deep-fried pandan wrapped chicken, and Tom Yam Goong which is a spicy prawn soup.
Kingfisher Cafe
Kingfisher Cafe offers gourmands a place where they can relish local and international fare in a spot that already provides its patrons total relaxation. Langkawi Seaview Hotel’s Kingfisher Cafe is known for its casual dining atmosphere and their wide variety of food spread.
You can eat here with your partner or plan a lunch bonanza with a big group of friends. Kingfisher Cafe does not just serve local and international food, but they also offer Halal certified dishes; so you can bet your specific tastes will be met here.
D’Reef at The Cliff
Set at the end of the Pantai Cenang cliff, D’Reef at The Cliff is a popular night spot in Langkawi. It’s designed with classy and contemporary interiors and warm lighting, giving it a very relaxing vibe. Not to mention offering the most breathtaking view of the Andaman Sea.
Patrons who love their cocktails will love the concoctions made by their mixologist like Hang On (vodka, Midori melon, orange juice, mango juice, lime juice, and sugar syrup) or The Cliffhanger (rum, peach syrup, triple sec, orange, pineapple, and lime juice). They also serve Malay and Western dishes like lamb rack, crab cannelloni, and pan-seared foie gras.
Make sure to visit these places when you visit Langkawi, wear your eating pants, and chomp on all of their wonderful dishes like there’s no tomorrow.

5 Reasons Why You Should Stay at Microtel by Wyndham - Boracay
To the neophyte tourist, Microtel by Wyndham - Boracay may seem as just one of the many choices for accommodation in this beautiful island. But there are quite a number of reasons to choose it over other options for lodging. Here are 5 of them:
1. A reliable brand.
When someone says that they’re staying at Microtel in Boracay, people know that they’d be getting the same standard of service as any Microtel branch elsewhere. This is so much unlike booking at an unknown hotel in Boracay, Philippines where you are not assured of the quality of your stay and might be even run by untrained staff.
2. Value for money.
Of course, all Microtel branches around the world guarantee bang for your buck. So, while it may not be the cheapest accommodation in Boracay, you’ll get to enjoy rooms and facilities that you’d expect from a more expensive hotel.
3. A nice, quiet location.
With hundreds or even thousands of visitors every year, Boracay can get really crowded. This has led many people to think that the tranquil island paradise it was in the past is already gone. But not if you choose to stay at this Microtel branch, which is located on Diniwid Beach.
While it’s only a short walk from the popular White Beach, this shore is relatively secluded and not filled with all sorts of tourists. Nor is it invaded by vendor after vendor selling their wares. Here, you can relax in peace—and it also boasts of white sand, to boot.
4. Easy reservation process.
If you want to book a room in other Boracay hotels, you’ll need to call them, which can be quite expensive when you’re based overseas. Alternatively, you can send an email or two, but there’s no assurance that your email will be read or you’ll receive a fast reply.
These problems are things of the past if you decide to book here. You only need to go to their website, click a few buttons, and securely pay by credit card to make a guaranteed reservation. There’s even an app you can download and use to make booking for repeat visits easier.
5. International level of service.
Other than being great value for your money, what really sets this hotel apart from other establishment is its well-trained staff, in which a culture of service is inculcated. Once you’ve experienced a pampering here at Microtel by Wyndham - Boracay, it’s going to be hard to find a place that can match this level of hospitality at the same price.

Things You Can Expect To Do In Penang
You know, there is nothing like travelling to a place for the first time. There are so many things you can do in a new city: immerse yourself in the culture, explore all the exciting destinations, and gorge on lots of food. In Penang, there are far too many things people have not explored yet. Yes, the city is known for its history, and the best way to learn about the city is through museums and historical walkthroughs; but there is still so much more about it.
So once you’ve made your reservations in a George Town hotel in Penang and have packed those bags, let’s talk about your holiday itinerary. Here are all the fun things you can do during your Penang trip.
Jungle Trekking
Some of Penang’s not-so-hidden beauty comes from the natural landscape that surrounds it. The Penang National Park was dubbed a natural reserve in 1928, and for good reason. It’s a mostly untouched jungle but it has a lot of trails and a good camping ground that people have begun trekking or hiking in the area. There are also hiking trails from the Botanic Gardens leading up to the Penang Hill.
Beach
Also through the Penang National Park are unspoiled beaches. Foremost is Teluk Duyung or Monkey Beach, where a pre-war lighthouse can be visited and the most breathtaking view can be seen after a 100-metre hike. You can also go to Muka Head, Teluk Bahang, Teluk Kampi, and Pantai Kerachut.
Of course, beach trips mean water activities. The waters in Penang aren’t ideal for diving, snorkelling, or surfing; but they are perfect for jetskiing and parasailing. There are a couple of hotels in Penang that offer countless water activities for visitors if you don’t want the hassle of scheduling your activities.
Cycling
If you need a break from George Town, you can always get some peace while cycling at Balik Pulau. This will give you a chance to see a different side of Penang, which is far from its usual frenetic city vibe. You will see fishing jetties and Malay and Chinese villages. Don’t worry about getting lost, a guide will be cycling with you.
Nightlife
Just because Penang is a historic city doesn’t mean it isn’t charged with the most energetic nightlife. As soon as the sun goes down, a new kind of vibe takes over. Visit places like the bar and lounge called Three Sixty Degree Skybar, explore the Upper Penang Road, try night shopping at Batu Ferringhi, and more.
Let’s see if you’ve got everything covered for this Penang trip: reserved a room at a hotel in George Town, Penang? Done. Bags all packed and ready? Done. Plane ticket? Done. A list of things to do? Done!
Penang is definitely one of those places that are better experienced in person than read in books. There is something so appealing and enchanting about the place, you just can’t get enough of it.

3 Exciting Shopping Spots in Metro Manila, Philippines
From the air-conditioned tiangges near hotels in San Juan, Manila to the crowded streets of Divisoria — your quest for the ultimate bargain will take you to a lot of places in Metro Manila. Take a pick from these popular shopping and bargaining grounds or try to visit them all for an outstanding, if a bit exhausting, shopping experience.
1. Divisoria
Heaven for bargain-hunters and shoppers on a tight budget, hell for demophobes — that's Divisoria. This colorful and crowded market district somewhere between Binondo, Tondo, and San Nicolas offers a wide assortments of low-priced goods spread across various shopping malls and side streets. Cooking ingredients, dry goods, pirated DVDs, everything under the sun can be found in this area, and most of them come with a cheap price tag. The site was founded back in the Spanish period when non-Christianized Chinese, who were forbidden from operating in Intramuros, settled in a new commercial community which was eventually called Divisoria.
2. Greenbelt
Internationally renowned brands certainly have a home at Greenbelt but that's just a fraction of the shops you'll see when you go to this shopping mall in Makati City. Aside from well-known names, the 5-section complex also has family restaurants, fast food chain outlets, clothing stalls, boutiques, and a lush garden with an aviary and chapel in its midst. Most shops selling electronic products and gadget accessories are in Greenbelt 1, Greenbelt 2 has fine dining restaurants, Greenbelt 3 and 4 house coffee shops and high-end retails stores, and finally, Greenbelt 5 proudly displays the works of Filipino designers. Aside from shopping, eating, and simply hanging out in the garden, you can also witness the different shows that take place in the mall's free spaces.
3. Greenhills
Greenhills is a bit like an indoor, air-conditioned, and well-organized flea market. It's far from the chaos of Divisoria, yet the goods are priced much, much cheaper than those found in Greenbelt. The shopping center has over 2,000 stalls devoted to clothes, electronics, toys, jewelries, among many others. Arcades and activity centers, trendy restaurants and bars, antique merchandise, boutiques and salons, as wells as a Catholic church and a Muslim prayer room can also be found in the mall premises.
Should you fail to finish scouring these areas before the setting of the sun or before you run out of energy, you can choose to stay at the posh hotel accommodations in San Juan, Manila. There, you can take a nice break to prepare for the second day of your shopping adventure.

4 Popular Public Parks in Baguio
Here are some of the open spaces you can visit outside your Microtel Baguio accommodation:
1. Burnham Park
A familiar image found among mass-produced postcards and shirts from Baguio, Burnham Park is one of the most famous publicly accessible open spaces in the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Centrally located in the heart of the city, Baguio visitors find it an imperative to have at least one picture with the park as background. The park took its name after the famed American architect and urban planner Daniel Hudson Burnham who laid out the plans for the entire city. Among its key features are its man-made lake at the center, skating rink at the south end, and the Orchidarium and children's park on the west. Burnham, however, is as functional as it is beautiful. In the aftermath of the devastating 1990 Luzon earthquake, many families sought and found refuge within its tree-covered grounds.
2. Wright Park
Wright Park is located right across the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines. Just like Burnham, this place—or at least, its famous Igorot regulars wearing their traditional costumes—have been featured in many tourism brochures and postcards. Here, one can truly feel that they are having a holiday in the city of pines dues to the distinct scent that come from the pine trees surrounding the area. A favorite destination of families during the weekend, Wright Park is the place to be for a delightful pony ride for an hour or so.
3. Mines View Park
The most popular Baguio attraction, Mines View Park is a great destination that comes with a beautiful scenery, tasty snacks, and great souvenir shopping options. Located close to Wright Park and a number of hotels in Baguio, Mines View offers visitors an astounding panorama of Benguet's gold and copper mines. Visits should be planned early in the day because it can get quite foggy in the afternoons. Close to the park entrance are stalls selling native handicrafts, wood carvings, silver products, or snacks that go well with the great view and the cool air.
4. Crosby Park
Far from a typical landscaped park, Crosby is a 6-hectare land characterized by views of mountains, gorges, valleys, and slopes. A place for more adventurous visitors, its terrain is fit for trekking, walking, photo shoots, picnics, and other types of outdoor activities.
Save for Crosby Park, which is located in Itogon, all these open spaces are set close to each other. If you're planning a visit to kick back and relax in the cool weather, there are plenty of hotels such as Microtel Baguio located in the middle of the city.
1. Burnham Park
A familiar image found among mass-produced postcards and shirts from Baguio, Burnham Park is one of the most famous publicly accessible open spaces in the Summer Capital of the Philippines. Centrally located in the heart of the city, Baguio visitors find it an imperative to have at least one picture with the park as background. The park took its name after the famed American architect and urban planner Daniel Hudson Burnham who laid out the plans for the entire city. Among its key features are its man-made lake at the center, skating rink at the south end, and the Orchidarium and children's park on the west. Burnham, however, is as functional as it is beautiful. In the aftermath of the devastating 1990 Luzon earthquake, many families sought and found refuge within its tree-covered grounds.
2. Wright Park
Wright Park is located right across the official summer residence of the President of the Philippines. Just like Burnham, this place—or at least, its famous Igorot regulars wearing their traditional costumes—have been featured in many tourism brochures and postcards. Here, one can truly feel that they are having a holiday in the city of pines dues to the distinct scent that come from the pine trees surrounding the area. A favorite destination of families during the weekend, Wright Park is the place to be for a delightful pony ride for an hour or so.
3. Mines View Park
The most popular Baguio attraction, Mines View Park is a great destination that comes with a beautiful scenery, tasty snacks, and great souvenir shopping options. Located close to Wright Park and a number of hotels in Baguio, Mines View offers visitors an astounding panorama of Benguet's gold and copper mines. Visits should be planned early in the day because it can get quite foggy in the afternoons. Close to the park entrance are stalls selling native handicrafts, wood carvings, silver products, or snacks that go well with the great view and the cool air.
4. Crosby Park
Far from a typical landscaped park, Crosby is a 6-hectare land characterized by views of mountains, gorges, valleys, and slopes. A place for more adventurous visitors, its terrain is fit for trekking, walking, photo shoots, picnics, and other types of outdoor activities.

TRAVEL GUIDE: 4 Things to do When in General Trias, Cavite, Philippines
Why fly long distance when you can go sightseeing just a few hours from Metro Manila, Philippines? Book yourself a hotel in General Trias, Cavite and embark on a trip filled with leisure and learning. Here are 4 things that you should not miss during your “Gentri” trip.
1. Visit old churches
It is nice to see the different churches when you are in a new town because they reveal the locale's architectural history. Gentri has many parishes but the St. Francis of Assisi Parish and Our Lady of Guadalupe Church are the most notable ones. The former was built in 1611 by Franciscan missionaries and also has the distinction of being the first site where the Philippine National Anthem was played. The latter, on the other hand, features a modern design and is set in the middle of the Gateway Business Park. Regardless of which you visit, you will definitely have some Instagram and Facebook-worthy photos to take back with you.
2. Go museum hopping
Here in Gen. Trias, you can relive those field trip moments when you see paintings, murals, exhibitions, and other galleries inside the GBR Museum and Museo De La Salle. Located inside the Gateway Business Park, the GBR Museum contains more than 3,000 vintage photographs as well as hundreds of model airplanes donated by founder Mr. Geronimo Berenguer de los Reyes Jr. from his personal collection of the city's memorabilia. Museo De La Salle, meanwhile, houses a rich collection of antiques from the Spanish occupation.
3. Snap photos of statues and markers
You can also take pictures of Cavite's best sons by visiting markers scattered around town. The General Mariano Trias Marker is located in front of the general's ancestral house in the town plaza. General Mariano Trias fought bravely during the Philippines' revolution against the Spanish conquistadors. But aside from the good general, there are also other heroes who sacrificed their lives during the battles. One of them was Diego Mojica, who led a group of revolutionaries in attacking the Spanish headquarters on 1896. A marker in his honor is also located in the area.
4. Stay at The Bayleaf Cavite
There's no better way to end your "Gentrip" in a rest-conducive lodging like The Bayleaf Cavite. This accommodation in General Trias is the first of it’s kind in the area. With a total of 148 guest rooms and suites, which can be booked online, it is configured to accommodate room requirements from a single bed to as many as four beds per room. An all-day dining cafe, an entertainment center, skylit atrium lounge, outdoor wedding park, and pool bar complements the property’s services. The 45–meter long, free form swimming pool adds a special touch to the vibrant atmosphere of this hotel in General Trias, Cavite.

READ: A Quick Rundown of 5 of Intramuros' Many Churches
Before becoming a tourist spot with several museums, restaurants, and establishments offering Manila accommodation, Intramuros was once known as the City of Churches. And it is not surprising, as the colonial-era fortress city once had 7 churches. Here are 5 of the 7 churches and their history.
1. San Agustin Church
San Agustin Church is the oldest surviving church in the Philippines. First completed in 1607, the church has withstood numerous earthquakes and the bombardment of Manila in World War II that destroyed the 7 other churches inside the walled city. Many notable persons are also interred here, such as the remains of Spanish conquistador Miguel Lopez de Legazpi and Filipino painter Juan Luna. It is now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site as one of the 4 Baroque Churches of the Philippines, which boasts of well-decorated interiors with an ornate trompe-l'oeil ceiling.
2. Manila Cathedral
Built in 1571 as the Church of Manila, it was destroyed and rebuilt seven times throughout its history, with the present-day cathedral constructed finished only in 1958. Despite modern touches to its interior, the present design of the Manila Cathedral is faithful to its original form. It still features the only part of the original cathedral that survived the bombing of Manila in World War II — a facade made of Roman travertine stone. With a Latin-cross plan and floors made of Italian marble, the 3,000-square-foot cathedral is accented by Byzantine motifs and pineapple finials.
3. San Ignacio Church
Originally built in 1632, the San Ignacio Church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1852 and rebuilt in 1888. However, it was never rebuilt again after the Japanese burned it down in 1945, during World War II. All that's left of the building are ruins, which are presently found next to the campus of the Pamantasang Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), a state-run university.
4. Lourdes Church and Convent
Constructed in 1892, it was the first home of the Capuchin friars in the Philippines before it was destroyed in World War II. Today, the remains of the structure have been incorporated into the El Amanecer building, which houses several commercial establishments like gift shops and Ilustrado, a fine-dining restaurant popular with guests booked at the best Manila accommodation.
5. San Francisco Church and Third Venerable Order Chapel
Managed by the Franciscans, the original San Francisco Church was built in 1602 but was heavily damaged in the 1645 earthquake. It was then rebuilt from 1739 to 1750, but like the Lourdes and San Ignacio Churches, it was destroyed during World War II. The church was destroyed along with the Third Venerable Order Chapel beside it, which was built in 1618. The site of the San Francisco Church is now the campus of the Mapua Institute of Technology, with the school's own chapel standing on the former site of the Third Venerable Order Chapel. It is located on Muralla Street, near The Bayleaf Hotel, which offers elegant and affordable Manila accommodations.
