Philippine Holiday 2017: At Citystate Tower Hotel

When we are in Manila, we have two staying options, depends on room availability. Our first option is in Lotus Garden Hotel, the second is the City State Tower. Both are located in Mabini, places knows as the tourist belt in Manila. On our recent holiday, we stayed at City State Tower. We stayed there for a total of seven days. The hotel is good. The mini bar in the room is off, empty. They have nice rooms, but their towels, bed sheets, and linens are already very old. So far, I still enjoyed our stay there. The management, staff, and crew are friendly, polite, and accommodating. I as well enjoy their free buffet breakfast for all registered guests, an eat all you can buffet breakfast. Every morning, I am always looking forward their Filipino breakfast. On the ground floor, there is a bar-restaurant owned by a very famous Filipino folk singer, Freddie Aguilar. There are performers every night. I brought home some photos to share with my blog readers.

An Eat All You Can Dinner At Wok Restaurant Wilhelminahaven, Vlaardingen

My plate of sushi.

I love it that I can arrange my dessert.

How time has flown by. One weekend gone, another weekend comes. This evening, I enjoyed the dinner treat of my in laws at the Wilhemina Wok Restaurant. This is also what  I love in this small town where I live, there are good restaurants that offer fine dining. The Wilhelmina is an eat all you can restaurant, right in the heart of the city of Vlaardingen, near the Vlaardingen Centrum train station, facing the Waterweg.

Last year's anniversary at Wilhelmina.

my plate of terepiyake: salmon, shrimp, and lamb.

I think this is my fourth time at Welhilmina. I always love their dishes, especially the Asian fusion and the terepiyake. This evening, I found out that in the parking area, you can view a beautiful sunset. While my husband parked our car, I caught the sunset with my iPhone at the side mirror. A beautiful sight in an almost winter wonderland.

Sunset at the parking area.

For my son's love of trucks. This evening before going home.

This evening I have tried sushi, they are on my third plate. Hahaha! My first plate was a wok cooking, a mixed of shrimps, mussels, crab fillet, mushrooms, string beans (sitaw), and paprika in garlic sauce. It was very delicious. My son and my husband also enjoyed their food.

The Wihelmina is always full. Their food is varied and delicious, and the price is good.

The staff and crew are fast, effecient, and friendly. This is one of the restaurants that I love to go back to.
