Stackers Burger Cafe - Best Chicken Meal at Venice Piazza

| Stackers Burger Cafe Menu |
I am a chicken lover, and I got tired with the usual food like KFC and McDonalds so I decided to try something else. I decided to visit Stackers which is at the Venice Piazza. Stackers has some of the biggest chicken meals that I have seen so far in the Philippines which is quite affordable with a drink. It's crispy and taste a little like Jollibee and Shakeys. Other then that, they offer meals like bacon and eggs. They also have Mozzarella sticks. Delicious! Check it out!

| Stackers Drink - Pepsi |
Honestly, I was quite stuffed. I always go back here because I am always satisfied with the service. The waiters and waitress were very polite and helpful. They also have a big Plasma screen where customers can watch the latest movies. Trust me. You won't be disappointed.

| Ramen Bar at Venice Piazza |
I just had my first experience at the Ramen Bar and I wasn’t sure on what to expect. You hear so many rumors about the exotic taste of ramen. I first heard of ramen at the states and if you watched the movie called “Ramen Girl” starring the late Brittany Murphy, it made a person like me curious. I always liked Japanese food but this was a different level. I was having my first experience at the Ramen Bar courtesy of the prize that I won from Megaworld.
I visited the closest Ramen Bar outlet that I knew and that was in Venice Piazza. I was impressed with the service and the comfortable atmosphere. I had my menu and I had a chance to take a look at the various food that they had available through their iPad that was given to me. I ordered two meals since I was really hungry. Those two meals were Chicken Namban Rice Bowl and R.B.S #1. The food experience was amazing! I loved the exotic Asian flavor and I am not the kind of person that is really into Asian cuisine.

| It looked so real that I wanted to eat the iPad! |
I had to order a dessert. Oh! The dessert was the finale which was the Tempura Ice Cream! It tasted so exquisite, and yet it was able to fill up my stomach. The Ramen Bar also had their own WiFi which made my night extra special so I would be able to blog this experience. They currently have a promo through their Twitter account and Facebook account. Sadly, this promo is only at the Ramen Bar outlet in Venice Piazza.
So what are you waiting for? Try it! I loved it and you will too! Thank you Ramen Bar and Megaworld for the experience! I’ll be visiting Ramen Bar again real soon!

Pigeon Feeding at Venice Piazza!

| Pigeon feeding on March 9, 2011 |
I love being adventurous and I love to experience something that I don't see or do every day! One fine morning, I experienced pigeon feeding! It was a great feeling! The man who holds the bucket of seeds was very helpful and asked if I wanted to feed the pigeons. I politely said in a high voice, " Sure! I'd love to!"
I took a handful of seeds, and at first I could not get a pigeon to eat the seeds of my hand. You have to get the pigeon’s attention so that they could notice the seeds on your hand. I eventually did get one pigeon's attention and the rest was history! It tickles when all the pigeons eat the seeds off your hand. I was hooked! I decided to grab more seeds and the pigeon feeding scenario lasted for 15 minutes!

I was happy, and yet sad when the pigeons flew away. If you want to experience such a moment go to Venice Piazza at McKinley Hill from 8am-9am and 4pm-5pm. There is no entrance fee and the view is just beautiful which mean the place is just perfect for a Kodak moment. I suggest to my readers they should to go to Venice Piazza for the pigeon feeding while you’re on a date or with your family. Pigeon feeding is a big hit with couples, tourists and children! Happy feeding! =D

Experience Europe through Venice Piazza

One of my favorite places at the moment in the Philippines has to be at the McKinley Hill. The place where I normally relax and think happy thoughts would be at Venice Piazza. McKinley has an image of the lifestyle of the rich and famous. The scene is relaxing and has a rich atmosphere with a European style motif.

Everything seems to be close by with two 7/11 around the corner with a Starbucks, Pancake house and 24/7 McDonald's fast food area close by. I should not forget the banks like Bank of the Philippine Islands along with LBC just a couple of blocks away. The place is invaded with call centers but the route is easy since there isn't any traffic unless it experiences a heavy or has a run in with the morning or evening rush hour.

| Me at Venice Piazza, March 15, 2011 |
Venice Piazza would be the place to be and relax. It has almost restaurant and every fast food that almost anyone from any class would desire. It even has a small bazaar close by the area and a live band at the middle of the Piazza. The band or show would depend on the occasion.

Transportation would not be an issue since there are buses, vans and jeepney's available. It is recommended that you bring your own transportation to experience McKinley Hill since parking would not be an issue since it has there 24/7 car park building. I would certainly suggest McKinley Hill to any one who might want to experience the European lifestyle or to enjoy the weekend off. Let the Euro trip begin!

All about La Obra ?

Hi! You may call me Stuck in the Philippines because I am literally stuck in the Philippines! I'm just kidding. My name is Kristian. This is my first blog and it first started out as travel blog. But then I started involving my love for the entertainment scene mainly the movies and concerts scene. Once I started blogging, I couldn't stop.
A little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Dubai (U.A.E) until I went to Arizona (U.SA). You could say I love traveling. For the record, I am a Filipino. I just lived and studied abroad. A graduate of Southern New Hampshire University and Maine High School graduate, I feel that life has more to offer. I'm a Business Administration graduate but this is something I feel that I am passionate about. I love to breakdance but I'm not getting any younger. I like traveling but that requires a lot of cash. But I love to explore.
Since I love traveling, I first started this blog as a travel blog and I was bored. Anyway, once I arrived in the Philippines, I decided to stay for awhile and adapt to the Filipino way of life. Trust me! It wasn't easy since I had to adjust from scratch! But everything turned out well.
How I started blogging? It was when a friend suggested that I should blog. My first thought of blogging is that it was a boring job and besides what do I blog about? Voila! That's how my blogging world began and now I'm hooked! Now I mainly blog about events, news, movies, concerts and travel! A lot huh? By the way, I do make some grammar mistakes on my blog but hey nobody is perfect! =)
If you have any ideas, suggestions, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. You may contact me at kristianmarfori at gmail dot com . You may call/text preferably text me at +639166464362. Please state your name, email, contact details and inquiry.
Much love!
Kristian
