eat-all-you-can @ kamayan restaurant

Friday night had been fun for me as before.  Why?  Well, because before my big bro go back to overseas to work his ass again, he suggested that we should have a dinner first at Kamayan restaurant in Ermita, Manila.  

I thought that it was my first time in that place, but then I realized, five years ago my niece had her grad celebration here in Kamayan also.

In Kamayan Restaurant, their eat-all-you-can will give you a choice wherein it will depend in the color of the plate. If you take the yellow plate (that's 300PHP per head), you get to choose any of the Filipino food of your choice.  (Dishes like bopis, chicken curry, lechon baboy, pork and chicken barbeque, liempo, etc.)  On the other hand, if you choose to eat using the blue plate, you can take in from any or all of the gallery of foods in different presentations and offers. There is no limit to whichever food you would like to eat when you get to choose the blue plate. The price however will differ from each other if you take the yellow or the blue plate. Blue plate of course will offer you more food but where you will have to pay more.

taiwan series movie review: Miss No Good 不良笑花 (pinyin: Bu Liang Xiao Hua)

I've been an avid fan Of Rainie Yang Chen LIn (杨丞琳) since the first time that I saw her in Meteor Garden and played the character of Xiao You, and admired her more when she played the role of Tong Jia Di (童嘉蒂) in Huan Huan Ai (換換愛).  Since my computer became worse because of a corrupted version of windows, I spent my two whole days watching her new series, 不良笑花 or Miss No Good.  I really loved this series because Rainie Yang here is so funny, and I was able to see the behind-the-scenes during the movie taping.  I get to see the attitudes of each character behind the camera and it's cool.

Jiang Xiao Hua (Rainie Yang Chen Lin 杨丞琳), a bubbly Taiwanese girl has the style of something no one can name.  Xiao Hua has no intentions of changing the way she looks and dresses until her elementary school classmate, Jia Si Le (Dean Fujioka 賈思樂) came back from Japan.  Jia Si Le is deeply in love with Xiao Hua, despite coming back to Taiwan for an arranged marriage with Jiang Mi (Chen Yan Xi 陳妍希).  Jia Si Le does whatever he can to get Xiao Hua to be his girlfriend.

One day, Xiao Hua meets Tang Men (Wilber Pan Wei Bo 潘瑋柏), the famous, poison-tongued fashion verdict who happens to be Jia Si Le's best friend, when her motorcycle breaks down. The two share a taxi, only to argue over each other's sense of style, and Tang Men angrily storms out, unwittingly leaving an expensive pair of scissors behind. Later, Jia Si Le holds an elementary school reunion party and invites both Tang Men and Xiao Hua. Tang Men meets Jiang Mi, who tells him that she and Si Le gave each other one year to find their true loves before submitting to his parents' will for them to be married. Also, after being pushed into a swimming pool and being told by her former classmates that she has no sense of style, Xiao Hua decides she will change her image so as not to embarass Si Le.

The next day, when Tang Men's assistant comes to Xiao Hua's shop to look for the lost pair of scissors, Xiao Hua decides to use them to blackmail Tang Men and get him to teach her how to be an upper-class woman. As Tang Men and Xiao Hua spend more time together, they slowly begin to realize their feelings for one another, though they initially deny them. Meanwhile, Jiang Mi, who is currently dating Tang Men, asked him to get close to Xiao Hua so that she can get Jia Si Le back. Tang Men, who finds Jiang Xiao Hua annoying and loud, suddenly sees Xiao Hua's inner beauty and falls in love with Xiao Hua without even realizing it.
