Do have a source for Shagreen in Cebu?
On a somewhat similar topic do have a listing of specialty food shops in Cebu
I am moving to South Leyte shortly but will need to source my fave items in
Cebu and this would save going thru all the posts
No need to post
Mike (from the UK) -now in HK
Perhaps easiest to meet In Cebu sometime

I stayed at The Upper House January 2010.The rooms are SUPERB. I even got a free upgrade for the room. They tried to be paperless so if you need anything for the in-room dining or if you need some information on the hotel, its just a touch away… All rroms are equipped with an itouch. All the food and drinks at the minibar are free except the wine but the sodas, juices, water, cookies, mentos, M & M, nuts are all free… And the cookies are scrumptious.Ang sarap! The coffee that comes with a mini expresso machines in all rooms are delectable. The T&b are spacious and they have the most complete vanity kit! I also had lunch at Cafe Gray.. one word to describe the food…deliciouso! It was truly an exceptional experience to stay at this hotel. This hotel deserve a five hearts from me.

Very elegant. Almost too perfect and sparse for me, on the brink of being cold. The bathtub looks fun though. If I am made to choose between this and the typical over-the-top hotel decor, I’d also choose this one.

I have stayed at the Marriott and the Conrad on top of Pacific Place many, many times, at the company’s expense of course. I cannot imagine where they found more space for The Upper House.

I always liked the convenience of going down in the elevator to other floors in Pacific Place so I could eat in Grappa(far superior to the ones in Manila), La CitÃ©, a reasonably good French restaurant and even Dan Ryan’s on a Sunday morning for a bloody mary after a Saturday night out in Lan Kwei Fong. Good dim sum restaurant on ground floor too.

Those were the days!

Ah, the 2009 Z4 (maybe an M-class?). I love that car, it’s the zippy cousin of my 3-series. But I’d need a crane around to get in and out.

apple and others, my apologies. Apparently the room in these photographs were a complimentary upgrade from a studio… The rack rate for this room, that is some 1,230 square feet, or roughly the size of 3 or so normal tight HK hotel rooms, is roughly US$1,000 or so. The smaller suites at 700-800 square feet start at US$400 or so. As for the service, I wouldn’t know, I didn’t stay there.

$ 400 a night is pretty standard. is that high or low season rate? how’s the service?

The hotel is beautiful but I think I would rather spend US$400 on shopping and sightseeing than for a shut-eye (no matter how luxuriously unforgettable it must be). The most I spent was for a villa in Amorita (Bohol) – which was $300, a night. That had a private plunge pool, though and an open shower (sinfully wonderful!). But since then, paying so much for a hotel room no longer seems right. But then, that’s just me. More power, MarketMan!
