Our stay at La Vie Motel includes breakfast for 2 person. To read more about our stay at La Vie Motel, click here. Our friend came and pick us up for lunch and again we had a fabulous lunch. We were too busy eating and chatting that I've totally forgot to snap photo of the restaurant's name. Hence, I can only show pictures of my food.

 Mitsui Outlet Park Linkou is a perfect place to shop and relax. It's just 10 minutes drive from Zhu Lin Shan Guanyin Temple. We spend around 2 hours there including shopping and tea break. I bought myself a watch and I like it a lot. We had crepe and pearl milk tea for our tea break. Pearl milk tea was nice but on the hand, crepe was soft and floppy. However, I like the combination of banana, strawberry and whipped cream. It was light, fluffy and not too sweet.

At night, we attended our friend's wedding dinner at this Gold Spoon Flowery Wedding Restaurant. Dinner starts at 7.20pm and finishes at 9.30pm. Food was awesome and service was fast. Within 2 hours they served 10 dishes. Dessert was good too. Tiramisu is best when served chilled. Congratulations to the Bride and Groom! We had a wonderful evening. Good food, great ambience and there's even magic show at our table!

Jollibee is a Filipino multinational chain of fast food restaurants. On the day of arrival, we asked our friendly Grab driver what is the must-try food in Philippines and he mentioned Jollibee. So here we at Jollibee located inside Landmark Department Store just 4 minutes (250m) walking distance from  New World Makati Hotel . We ordered 2 pieces of chicken served with rice and drink. Rice is soft. Fried chicken is crispy, flavourful and tender. It comes together with a brown gravy which taste like KFC mashed potatoes gravy. Overall it's good.
