Batanes Day 3 Part 3 – Marlboro Country, Imnajbu, Dinner at Pension Ivatan
My favorite place in Batanes was Racuh a Payaman, more commonly known as Marlboro Country.

Batanes Day 3 Part 2 – Lunch at Fundacion Pacita
If you are going to Batanes and money is no object then the only place to stay is at Fundacion Pacita. We walked around the area before going to the actual nature lodge.

Sunday Buffet at Senju
We couldn’t get a reservation at Inagiku, Shangri-La Makati’s Japanese restaurant so we decided to try Senju at Edsa Shangri-La. Just like Inagiku, Senju had a wide variety of sushi, sashimi and cold salads. They were good too but not as creative and fabulous as the ones at Inagiku. California Maki This was my favoriteContinue reading “Sunday Buffet at Senju”
