Kota Kinabalu Valentine

This year's Valentine was celebrated at Kota Kinabalu.

Missed this beach!

Also missed eating at Bak Kuh Teh

It was a well-deserved break. Just some tips for those travelling to Kota Kinabalu:

• If you are commuting to Clark for an Airasia flight, ride the Philtranco bus at the Megamall station (Bldg. A) The bus drops by at 7am, 9am and 12pm
• Ensure you prepare money (around P1,600) for Travel Tax
• If you are ariving at Kota Kinabalu at night, best to exchange ringit already in the Philippines. You will need at least RM 30.00 for the taxi fare (this is if you haven't arranged any service)
• Beware of the immigration officers who might try to pick you up. (hehe)
• Kuya Ishmael gives the best rates for the Island hopping. I posted his number already several posts ago.
• Eat at Seri Selera. Their seafood, spicy wings is the best

Looking forward to the next adventure!

Mercato Centrale @ BGC

Mercato Centrale is just like Banchetto but for the AB market mounted by the man behind the ourawesomeplanet.com who also does the Ultimate Taste Test series.

Mac and I woke up early one Sunday to visit and celebrate one month of abstaining from rice by eating in Mercato Centrale.

You can find lots of good food and spot celebrities too!

Chocolates with alcoholic beverage

Mercato Centrale crowd

So love this chicken!

*Mercato Centrale is located along 30th street, Bonifacio Global City. You won't miss it because of the big, white balloon floating atop the tents.

It is open from 6am-2pm every Saturday & Sundays

Sundate at the Nido Science Discovery Center

When we were kids, our school had a field trip and we went to the old Planetarium in Manila.

I remember how amazed I was to see the planets and the solar system. I was telling this story to Mac when we passed by the Nido Science Discovery Center within Mall of Asia and he said that he never got to see the planetarium because he wasn't feeling too well on our field trip so he wasn't able to get in to see the show.

So we decided to see the Planetarium. Entrance is around P350.00 per person. This already includes unlimited access to all exhibits and one show in the Planetarium.

Mac meets Astroboy!

Plants vs. Zombies!

I highly recommend this for children who loves Science!
