Getting my Davines Treatment at Creation by Lourd Ramos Salons

      I won the above GC at Creation by Lourd Ramos FB page and now trying to claim it. Upon entering their store at the 2nd floor of Glorietta . Below is the entrance to the salon, clean and well staff salon. (below).


  

     The above picture is taken on their next aisle  and you will be greeted with their beautiful mirrors really majestic.

     Upon sitting the staff will ask you what you want to drink ice tea or ice water and at the same time they bring some magazine for you to read while you are waiting for the treatment to be finished.


     I don't usually like to take my picture in my blog. Below is my hair with the Davines treatment wrap in cling wrap. I was told that the Davines treatment will keep my hair shiny and straight and the price is reasonable at P500.00 per treatment. To maintain the hair, they advice that I  should go back after 2 months.


     This is my hair after the treatment. Thanks to Mike for the treatment and some tips about hair care. Hope this time my hair will stay put.  Keep up the good works guy.


                         Below is my hair on a regular day that always unruly.

Different Milk Tea in the Metro Part II

     As summer has already arrive the heat outside is worst.  Now there are even more milk teas sprouting in the metro.  The Koco Tea Shop located at the 3/Floor of SM City Manila, this one originated from China


                  The different milk tea drink  posted outside their shop.

     Below is my order of the Original Oreo Milk tea wherein the oreo is a topping of the tea but will shrink to the bottom of the cup if not drank immediately (photo below) This is not the same as mention above  Oreo twist milk with Cocoa cheese mention in the poster


  Below on the left is the Charcoal which is not a tea but a coffee with azuki beans and pudding. While on the right is their juice drink Guava with strawberry juice The white part at the bottom is actually the dragon fruit. Both are delicious.

                                                
          Happy Lemon some of their branches are store type and other kiosk. This one is at 4/Fl.SM Megall but the one at 3/floor of Trinoma is a kiosk type which is located near the cinema and the carousel  therefore there's around 2-3 table sitting capacity.

                          The different cup sizes of Happy Lemon. (picture below)

            My cocoa with rock salt and cheese (photo below) if you try to stir them the cheese will not blend with the cocoa.


Came back for more happy Lemon for my kids to try. Center is the green tea with rock salt the one on the right is the match tea with azuki beans and on the left is the mango smoothies

     Tea.ology located at the ground floor of Il Terrazo at Tomas Morato St., Quezon City


                           The Flyer of Tea.ology (Picture below)


                  This is the kitchen tools need when you have a tea kiosk.  Too few items and few personnel.

          
     My order of Match Tea with coffee Jelly the price of this is P115.00 a bit expensive as compare with other tea shop. They need to add more matcha tea 

      Ci Tea located at the ground Floor of Mandarin Square at Ongpin St., this coffee shop can be found if you're going to Mandarin Supermarket. Nice setting if you wanted to relax and drink your tea while reading the magazine great for hubby who do not want to go to supermarket
    
                                        The Interior and counter of Ci Tea.


                     The different milk tea menu and photo (above and below photo)

            

           My order of Melon smoothies with magic bean ( should have been magic pearl) The price of a Medim is P65.00 and for the large is at P75.00. I choose the Large. Why magic beans? This one everyone should try. Every bite into the red pearl juice will ooze out of it and kids will surely love them. Even if you have finish the smoothies you can still enjoy the juice inside each pearl.

Flower Stories cafe

  I won a 2 P500 voucher from Taste Intention to dine at the Flower Stories Cafe at Intramuros. It's located at the 6/f of JC Contractor Bldg. wherein the elevator is up to the 5/fl then you have walk the stair going to the 6/Floor or the penthouse.

      This what greeted me and my hubby and open space dining (picture below) and it's a good thing we schedule it for dinner or it will be very hot if we do indeed schedule it at lunch time.

      This is how short their buffet line is. Before going I have to ask what they have because hubby is a picky eater. I ask hubby to look at the food first before handing the voucher and he likes what he sees.

                                      Below is the fried rice and pasta


                        The picture above is the breaded fish and onion ring.

        The togue and beef (they say is korean beef) and the pork tonge

      The mix vegetable and I don't what the other one is because all their meat dishes look alike.

        The sushi, salad and the chocolate fountain.Below is what I get for myself the breaded fish and sushi

    Below is the 1 serving of ice tea and water.  Their mushroom soup is delicious which my hubby was able to get 3 serving of it, me I got 2 serving

                               This are the other dish I got.(picture below)

     Paying a price of P500 for an eat all you can buffet is too pricey with only the above food available and their staff even said there were more than 10 kind of food and their website mention asian and international cuisine. What do you think.

     Been eating buffet for so long this one is the worst.  Maybe the price of Fiesta Pavilion of around  P600 plus from a buying site is worth eating as they did show their buffet table. I think to compensate the client to come back they shouldreplace the piano singer to food maybe they will keep coming back. For me will not come back again. Cannot say it's not asian because of the sushi but for International I doubt it maybe should have been called local dish

The different Milk tea in the Metro Part I

                    The Gongcha Milk Tea located at 3/F of Robinson Place Manila


                                     Below is the taro and pudding mix.


                                                       Chatime Milk Tea

       What great about this milk tea is that you have an option also in your ice, so if you're planning to make take out preferrably zero ice so that when  you get the taste is still the same you just have to put it in the refrigerator to cool it again.

                                  Below is the chocolate Mouse

                Below is the soymilk and buck wheat tea which is hot,and the next one is the taro milk tea with coffee jelly


     Found Infinitea because of the traffic at Araneta Ave., this one is located at D. Tuazon St., infront of St. Theresa College.

                       Above the different blend of milk tea
