Puerto Princesa's Finest Restaurants

Palawan's Restaurants are considered among the best in the Philippines. 

Your getaway won't be complete without trying their very unique culinary experience. 

KALUI RESTAURANT

Known as the most famous restaurant in Puerto Princesa. 

It's a MUST for you to dine here.

Once you have entered their Kalui, you'll be amazed by their ambiance. Because of their well-polished floor, all visitors and employees are asked to remove their footwear. YES, THEY'RE BAREFOOTIN'. They will provide you with your own foot lockers so no one will mistakenly get the wrong pair of footwear.

Once they provided you with seat, you won't believe their menu. They might have less choices of food, but you won't regret it. See, that's their menu. If you'll dine here for 2, better choose the Kalui Special of the Day Set. 

Kalui Special of the Day Set P435.00

(Fish Steak, Prawns, Veggies of the day, Fish Roll in Coco Cream, Rice, Soup and Dessert)

SEE YOU THERE!!!

Draft Gastropub

No need to go far and spend thousands to experience Europe.

Draft Gastropub

Experience Europe in The Fort

Draft Gastropub. Name itself? Its obvious that this opens late at night and closed by mid day.  PUB? First thing that pops in my head a man with a beer or scotch on the rocks by the bar who is served by an old guy bartender (just like the movies).

However, I have heard a good feed backs and reviews as well from people who have been here. Seems like its just more than a pub, but its also a fusion of exquisite European dishes as well. So in my bucket list goes Draft Gastropub.

F O O D

Draft offers world class European dishes. I can say that its the best European Restaurant in Bonifacio Global City. 

Breaded Camembert Cheese 

 Cheese and the chutney were a good match, the added truffle oil gave it that extra kick. This is my favorite dish here in Draft. The cheese inside is not your ordinary mozzarella cheese. It way better. 

Schintzel and Frites 

Crumbed chicken breast, fried golden brown with fries and salad.

Every dish that I ordered blew me a way. Everything was very tender and rich. 

 You'll savour until the last bite. 

B I E R

Don't get confused. You are still in the Philippines.

Draft offers Europe's all time best beers. 

Beck's. Hoegaarden, Stella Artois and Leffe to name a few. 

The Floor Supervisor name is Ye, happily explained to me the different kinds of beers they offer. But I was more curious from what he said about flavoured beers.

Flavoured Beers. Before I can only see these on selected grocery stores and wine stores. Now you can see them in you nearest 7-Eleven. But the flavors are just limited to Mocha, Cappuccino, Chocolate Mud-shake, Strawberry and all.  

Favoured Beers here in Draft came all the way from Belgium.  

Belgian Floris

The Supervisor Ye offered me to taste one of them and I choose the Framboise.

Floris Framboise is a top-fermented fruity Witbier with a pleasant raspberry, wheaty, coriander and orange aroma. This beer has a sweet raspberry mouthfeel and a excellent sweet-sour balance. The aftertaste has a long-lasting raspberry effect. It was very very sweet. Just like drinking cranberry juice:)

Belgian Floris Framboise

Good beer + good food in one restaurant is hard to find. But not anymore. Draft you'll serve you both, beyond your expectations.

Tune Hotels

2 days off is...

Your day off. Your day.

BUT

You can't watch your favourite show. Because your Mom wants to watch Soap Operas.

You can't sleep. Because of the noise inside and outside the household. 

Not your day off. Not your day.

Wondering where you can hibernate?

 Own the remote for a day?

Escape from the yelling shouting talking and beeping of cars for a day?

Welcome to

TUNE HOTELS

The quick, near and affordable escape.

Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and even United Kingdom. 

And now, Philippines.

Tune Hotels is an unique hotel with one of a kind features and original concept. Original meaning, I bet you have never seen a hotel that gives this kind of services. And as you can see the listed countries above, Growth is obvious. And along with its growth, is success.

In a Regualr 5 or 4 or 3 Star Hotel which cost around 5k-6k Pesos. You have:

• Room
• TV
• Wifi
• Pool
• Spa
• Gym

If your just going for an overnight business trip you won't need ALL of that. For vacation? Yes maybe the pool or spa, but are just going to stay whole day 24HOURS inside the Hotel? I don't think sooo.

What makes its original, unique and one of a kind? Tune Hotel offers limited to unlimited. Limited? The limited service model used by Tune Hotels is similar to the no frills business model practiced by low-cost carriers such as AirAsia which is their sister company. Obvious with its logo.

It offers limited service and pay-as-you-use of add-ons concept omits many traditional hospitality services. Instead, services and extras are offered on a pay-as-you-go basis, including toiletries, 12 or 24 hours air-conditioning, TV and internet access and also single or double occupancy.

Its like your customizing your Telecom Postpaid Plan. Here in Tune Hotels its like your Hotel Postpaid Plan.

Lemme me show you what I mean. 

Let's try their Online Booking
October 27, 2012. 1 Night, 1 Room.

Sorry, not that clear Print Screen.

So let's say you'll have the following:

• Double Room for Php 588.00 
• Cozy Package for Php 420.00

 = Php 1,008.00!!

                       

                                  BIG DIFFERENCE from Php 5,000 - 6,000 down to Php 1,008!!

I know what your thinking. This might have hidden charges or this is just a motel lame stay-in place.
To tell you, its a big  N O N E and N O.

I stayed in Tune Hotels Makati. Its near Makati Ave and A-Venue. And there are no hidden charges and the place is amazing. All clean, all quiet and all safe. 

I recommend. And I'll be back soon. For sure.

Tune Hotels offer beds at very affordable prices by getting rid of costly full service extras like pools, spas, saunas or gym that you just don't need and shouldn't have to pay for.

 Near, Affordable and 5 Star all in one.
