Aria Hotel - Dickson, ACT

Aria Hotel website

Aria hotel is fairly new, and the cost per night was really good at this time of the year when the floriade begins, yes we went to Aria for the floriade. More photos of the floriade will up soon :) We also dropped by Canberra Zoo and Aquarium while we were in the area.

So for now check the studio room we got, it was quite flash and details were nice with modern fixtures :)

The room was simple, a bed, table for two, desk, bathroom and wardrobe, but what made it cool was the room design, which made it very fancy :)

Cool extra pillow, doesn't it look nice..

would you call this the bed runner? hehe

The 'Do not disturb' and 'Make up room' is displayed like a switch and it will show in the front of the room. A door bell is also fitted on the same panel outside. Oh and the doorbell doesn't ring if it has the 'Do not disturb' light is on.

Frameless shower, and raindrop shower head from the ceiling. Plenty of Chrome in the bathroom..very nice :)

Nice looking basin and mirror too.

The ceiling fixtures looked nice too, so i thought i'd take photos of them hehe

The lift was very slick too hehe.

And here is our little workstation in the room :D

Philippines Trip - August 2010

Second Day in Philippines, and it was more of eating today hehe I guess that's not new.

Here is the view from out room, its a shame we didn't get the view of the mall side, it would be quite nice at night.

Here you can see the division of the rich and not so rich divisions. The trees would basically indicate that the people are well off.

The mall view from the 24th floor where we had a buffet breakfast on the executive lounge. Along with ready made food, they also serve hot breakfast made to order, so its basically anything you and and they make it for you :)

Philippines Trip - August 2010

First day in Philippines Makati at Chillis & New World Hotel

I thought I'd try to post what we do each day in the next four days just to keep track of what I've been up.

Upon arrival to Philippines at 7pm, K and I check in at New World Hotel in Makati, and go to Chillies with K's uncle, who kindly picked us up at the airport at last minute.. Thank you :D

Check out what we ate at Chillis, its not much but it was enough to fill us up at 9pm.

Big Mouth Burger Bites

Fajita Trio - Chicken/Beef/Prawn served with a bunch of stuff hehe

Overall table :D what a late feast.

A blurry Chillis menu from the outside hehe

Here are the photos of the 22nd floor, executive room in New World hotel. I would definitely recommend getting the executive room if possible :)

Kampong Boy - HURSTVILLE

Kampong Boy

Hurstville NSW 2220, Australia

Finally a very nice Malaysian restaurant in hurstville, or is this the only one?.. i'm not sure lol but this place is definitely delicious. I also saw Street Food had also been to this restaurant and agree that this place will be big. I also liked the food he ordered, Nasi Kampongboy, which you'll see below. Enjoy the photos :D and definitely try it out :D

There is a window with one of the staff cooking the satay skewers.

3 Layer Kopi (coffee) This is definitely my favorite. K had also told me that they make the coffee traditionally using a sock to strain the coffee. :) nevertheless its good :D as I see them making it, they surely put a lot of effort.
