Philippines - Day 4

-
Metro Manila is known for its really bad traffic especially during rush hour. Our flight back to Kota Kinabalu Airport scheduled at 9.05am and we departed from New World Makati Hotel at 6am to avoid the rush hour. We took a Grab car (Cost: PHP 200) and reached Ninoy Aquino International Airport at 6.15am. It took us 15 minutes to reach the airport from our hotel.

Entrance to the airport is very strict as only passengers with boarding passes are allowed inside the airport. Your luggage have to go through security check twice. Once at the entrance of the airport terminal and another one before immigration. It took us almost an hour queuing at the immigration for clearance. Luckily we were early and have plenty of time.

We had our breakfast at Tapa King located at Terminal 3 inside the pre departure hall. Both of us had Tapa King comes with thin slices of tender beef, rice and a sunny side up egg. The food was okay, nothing superb. Initially I wanted to have Kenny Rodger's but they need at least 20 minutes for preparation. Our flight depart at 9.15am and finally we're back to Kota Kinabalu after an hour and 45 minutes flight journey. Even though it's a short trip of 4 days 3 nights, it's been an eye opening experience. It's great to explore different places to eat and drink.

Note: PHP 1 = RM 0.0807

We had planned to check out of the hotel at 12pm and board a train to Dongguan at 1pm to meet with one of Ben's potential supplier. However, the plan was cancelled as the supplier was unable to make it and Ben only notified us after we checked out of the hotel at 12pm. In the end, we did nothing for a half day in Guangzhou and missed the opportunity to see his supplier in Dongguan. Our initial plan was to meet with his supplier in Dongguan and then take the train to Shenzhen. Since the plan didn't work out, we purchased a last-minute ticket from  Guangzhou East Railway Station to Shenzhen Station (Price - RM 65.74 per person for first-class seat). We had our lunch together with Ben at  Chuangshan Restaurant, which is located opposite  Guangzhou East Railway Station . I had goose with roasted pork, while my partner had chicken with BBQ pork. Roasted pork is tasty and goose is flavourful but has rubbery skin. Ben's friend joined us for lunch as well. However, we have to lea...
