Wonton Noodle House at Greenhills

At first my daughter and I were on the prowl for something new to eat 3 years back. Then while strolling along Shoppesville Greenhills, we came across this new Chinese restaurant named WonTon. The first thing that came into our minds were dimsums and with that in mind, we gave it a try. To our surprise they had quite a food listing of items to which we simply asked for the best dish they had.

As most food establishments, they would of course direct us to the more expensive food. So we started to look for something that would be unique to taste. And we found something interesting in these Chicken Teriyaki dishes which cost around Php 195 bucks. Then there was the crispy one which cost less. They were priced at Php 175.

We paired it off with the usual Yang Chow fried rice and some sides like the cheaper Beef Teriyaki and two bottomless house iced tea. In the end, we only spend less than P500 for the whole meal, satisfied and certainly coming back for more.

They have other food dishes worth checking out such as the Spicy Prawns and the Fish Taosi. But if there is one entrée that is pretty addicting, it is the Shrimp Puffs which cost about P120.

Wonton has since grown, opening another branch at the second floor of the Promenade Building across the Greenhills Theater Mall. Check it out and you will certainly not waste your time. A good Chinese restaurant in the heart of Greenhills, Metro Manla!

RIP Corazon Aquino (1933-2009)

Former Philippine President Corazon AquinoToday is a sad day for the Philippines. Former President Corazon Aquino, the wife of the assassinated former Senator Benigno Aquino died of cardiac arrest at 3:18 a.m. at the Makati Medical Hospital in Makati City, Philippines. Mrs. Cory Aquino had been battling colon cancer for quite some time but had already been confined in the hospital for over a month now.

Ms. Cory Aquino was a first in a lot of things. She was the icon of Philippine Democracy, responsible for restoring order back in 1986. She was already the first Female president of the Philippines and one of the authors of the first famed People Power Revolution.

Among her distinctive marks included her clad yellow outfit and the simple motherly look that endeared her to many. Requiem Masses were scheduled for later Saturday, and yellow ribbons were tied on trees around her neighborhood in Quezon city.

Aquino’s body will lie in state at the De La Salle Catholic school in Manila from Saturday evening to Monday morning, and she will be buried beside her husband at the Manila Memorial Park in a private ceremony Wednesday. The bereaved Aquino family opted for a private funeral over the traditional state funeral due.

In honor of her passing, the Philippines will observe 10 days of mourning in memory of the former president of the Philippines.

After stepping down in 1992, Aquino remained active in social and political causes.

For the family of the late former President Corazon Aquino, our deepest condolences.
