[...] The suggestion to pay the Blue Mansion a visit came from one of the Tsinoys I admire, who described himself in his website as “a self-designated life-long citizen and ambassador of Manila”, Ivan Man Dy of Old Manila Walks when he left a comment on my post about our beautiful experience in Yeng Keng Hotel.

maraming salamat, ivan for visiting my blog and leaving such kind words!
i have heard of that mansion where anna and the king was shot, but i’ve been looking for its name and exact location here for almost months now; thank you for dropping its name! we’ll pay it a visit soon (actually, i’ve already browsed it website and it’s also charming like yeng keng; makes me want to book a room immediately, hahaha!)

nice one, last time I saw Yeng Keng was in 1999, it was an ordinary and colorless backpacker’s inn, in fact i almost stayed there, good that is has leveled-up. Love the way they restored the building.The colors are really brilliant!

Tip: on your next hotel outing, check out the more stunning Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion (Blue Mansion) on the same street, its another Peranakan house restored and turned into a museum but you can actually stay there. That was also where Anna and the King (remake of the King and I) was shot with Chow Yun Fat. ;o)

Does Gabby swim well now? If not, better pool-proof him. Alam mo naman ang mga bata are sometimes too adventurous for their own good.

thanks for reminding me, maria of samosa. yup, they have it here; one of their favorites together with curry puffs and many others. for a well traveled like you, i am not surprised you know about samosa.

no, i did not spend my wonder years abroad, onli in da pilipins! hehe… my dad was an ofw (safeway supermarket supervisor in different parts of KSA) for more than 17 years. so every time he goes home during those days, we usually splurge within our means by spending some weekends in hotels and resorts.
