5 Alabang Restaurants for the Foodie Millennial

While most people from “the North” (Manila, Makati, Quezon City) hate commuting to “the South,” several cool places like The Bellevue Manila, Molito, and Alabang Town Center are sometimes reason enough for them to spend that extra toll fee.

Millennials are all about experience, and with the rise of themed restaurants and specialty food hubs around the metro, the South is not backing down without putting up a fight. Here’s a list of 5 restaurants that would definitely win the foodie millennial’s heart.

 1. Mr. Roboto

 “Let’s Volt in!” is probably what you’d be screaming once you get to this restaurant. Remember the good ol’ days and relive your childhood fantasies as one of the crews of Voltes V, Daimos, and even Mazinger Z. Established by millennials who grew up with their parent’s 80’s music, you will surely have a trip down memory lane with their Japanese robot themed restaurant and awesome Japanese food.

2. Ramen Yushoken

We’re sure you’ve seen how decadent food is prepared in animes—steaming noodles with beef toppings, glowing as it is served and always presented in contrast to a shining background. Yes, I’m talking about the food our favorite anime characters love to devour—ramen. If the Voltes V dream isn’t enough to quench your millennial trip, go down on some real goodness at Ramen Yushoken and see the realization of that anime food fantasy.


3. Exchange Alley Coffee House

Apart from restaurants, shopping centers, and hotels in Alabang, the South is also known for specialty coffee houses. And if there’s one thing we millennials are known for, it’s our love for adventure, photos, and caffeine (I might be stereotyping a bit here. LOL). Expect nothing but a good dose of caffeine with their freshly roasted, ground, and brewed beans everyday. And not just that, they also serve meticulously cooked food that is sure to win your hearts and stomachs.

 4. Neil’s Kitchen

Millennials love collaboration—especially if it’s a collaboration of good flavors worked into an ingenious dish. Neil’s Kitchen is probably one of the most visited restaurants in Alabang with its genius take on Filipino food. Imagine a marriage of traditional Pinoy food and modern cuisine techniques, neatly served in a platter. Sinigang Paella with Grilled Pork Belly and Bagoong Paella with Kare-kare are two of their most ordered dishes. Talk about putting a twist to your typical Pinoy fiesta staple food.

5. Vue Bar

Everybody loves a good party, especially if it comes with a 360 view of urban skyline. Vue Bar provides serves as a much needed breather from the heaving scenes of the city. Not only that, they also serve kikiam, fish balls, and chicken balls—all the street food we loved munching on during our high school recess. The Vue Bar is located at the 22nd Floor of The Bellevue Manila’s Tower Wing. Check out their newly revamped website and you might even score deals with their latest promos.

5 Things to Look For in a Family Resort

Mexico has lots of great resorts, especially in Cancun. In fact, there are so many that it can be hard to choose where to stay. Now it depends on what you need – the needs of couple travelers are different from those who are looking for family fun.

If you’re looking for Cancun accommodations that can accommodate the space and activities for the whole family, here are the things that you should look for before booking.

Space


This is the primary requirement for family vacations, especially if there are kids in tow. A large group of adults is definitely more easier to manage in terms of space compared to families with kids. Children may not be as flexible to reason compared to adults. So you will need a hotel or resort that offers lots of leg room even with their most basic accommodations.

Security


It’s not just security for the kids but also for your belongings as well. You should choose a resort that has a security guard on duty at all times and has rooms that can be locked from the inside. Better yet, look for rooms that has safety deposit boxes.

Amenities and activities for everyone


Most adults are contented with lazing around the beach, but kids are a different story. A family resort should have play areas where parents can safely leave their kids. A kiddie pool is a must, unless it’s okay for you to hold your kid at all times while you take a dip in the adult pool.

Convenient features


Ramps or elevators will come in handy when you’re traveling with a baby stroller or elderly person.

Transportation options


A shuttle service that can pick you up from the airport or bus terminal is a blessing for those traveling with children and loads of luggage.

Affordability



A family vacation doesn’t come cheap so you need to look for accommodations that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. It’s important that everything you need is housed within the resort so you don’t need to go outside for additional amenities or activities. Also, look for hotels that are constantly releasing promos so you can enjoy big discounts.

When it comes to spacious and complete accommodations in Cancun for the whole family, Hotel Casa Maya is your best option. Located at Boulevard Kukulcan, Hotel Casa Maya boasts of elegant and homey rooms with magnificent views of the Caribbean, making it one of the best places to stay when in Cancun.
