noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Wed, 30 May 2012 12:18:26 PDT

DINING AT TOKYO CAFE AND RACKS

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 23:16:44 PDT

I thought you might like a glimpse of what we had for dinner a couple of days ago. We actually arrived early for dinner at Tokyo Cafe. The three of them ordered some light snacks. While I chose for a heavier meal as I was famished because I didn't have time to eat lunch. My ate told me that I...

BON VOYAGE

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Fri, 04 May 2012 14:58:29 PDT

Just because Easter's over doesn't mean we don't have time for an awesome suite treat. Over the weekend, we booked two suites with two-bedrooms at Astoria Plaza in Ortigas. One of my nephews (Renzil) and two nieces (Joyce and Ella) are heading to Canada soon, so our family get-together was to wish...

We woke up and headed out early Sunday morning to take advantage of the buffet spread available daily at Acaci, the Acacia's in-house restaurant. Glad that there were only two people besides us, so I whipped out my trusty camera and started snapping away. There were actually quite a few...

THE LOBBY AT ACACIA HOTEL

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 16:34:36 PDT

It's Acacia's stylish lobby that's just so darn stunning that I fall madly in love at first sight. High ceiling, soaring glass walls, massive silver columns and unique interiors greet guests on arrival. While sitting in the lobby and waiting for HB, a tall lady server in a maxi black skirt came...

IN-ROOM DINING AT ACACIA HOTEL

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 16:33:32 PDT

When we finally settled down in our room, my eyes were instantly drawn to their in-room dining menu. I have to confess, I get seduced every too often to give our taste buds a special treat as well. So on Saturday's dinner, we finally succumbed to try some delicious food before seeing a...

ACACIA HOTEL MANILA

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 16:32:32 PDT

HB and I love to take a weekend vacation in a local hotel, so it's really great to feel like we're both in this together.

SPRUCING UP THE OUTFIT

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 22:43:55 PDT

Occasionally every woman needs some dolling herself up to feel better right? And so I managed to snap an outfit photo for the blog over the weekend when we had a stay-cation at Acacia Hotel but I just got time to edit them now. A black blazer is another closest wardrobe staple of mine as it can...

Valentine's Day

noreply@blogger.com (JUNE (An Asian Traveler)) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:49:20 PST

Happy belated Valentine's Day! Pardon me for being so late. Korean films started consuming a lot of my time this week, so my blogging routine was obviously off. Anyway, I didn't get a bouquet of fresh red roses, cute teddy bear, or any heart-shaped chocolates. And HB never did ask me out for a...

The following morning we got up early and headed to Cafe D' Asie. A few different choices were offered but absolutely delicious. I liked how the tables nicely spaced. And I always prefer sitting in tables near the window. The view from the restaurant. As to my outfit I just wore...
