A night in Makati

Wednesday night we were asked to chaperon a friends boyfriend, alex, it was his first time in manila, he arrived the 27th from Melborne. We met up in greenbelt 4 in makati ( a nice shopping center) but before that my girl and i got hungry so we ate in Kitchen - she likes their grilled vegetable panini, so here's what we ordered

grilled vegetable panini

170.00 = $3.69

lettuce caps
145.00 = $3.15

seared tuna sashimi
160.00 = $3.47

one san mig light
40.00= .80

one watermelon shake

90.00 = $1.95

$13.06 USD for dinner ( two people)

Kitchen is a resto in a high end ayala mall so consider these prices in the expensive range ( although there are more expensive places )


Aafter the meal we met up with alex and went to an even more expensive resto - m cafe in front of the ayala museum, lots of expats frequent this place for the food, drink, and music. i especially like this place in december as the wind is always blowing a cool breeze your way, anyway we caught up with alex and talked about boracay and where he was staying...

7 san mig light x 90.00 each
2 callijentes ( some girly drink) 360.00
tax 128.00
service charge 99.00

TOTAL = 1217.00 0r $26.30

GRAND TOTAL = kitchen $13.06 + M cafe $26.30 = $39.30

My parking costs were PHP35.00 ( less than a dollar for the whole evening)
