DCRJ for BRUNCH at Mercado inside RESORTS WORLD MANILA Dec. 11, 2009

Pic taken at Maxims hotel lobby Dec. 11, 2009. Brunch at Mercado, Resorts World Manila. Won P150 at a slot machine...I am not really a serious gambler, just enjoying the sights of those slot machines. It also reminded me of my visit to Atlantic city, New Jersey circa 2003 !


We ate breakfast or should I say BRUNCH at the Resorts World Manila today Dec. 11, 2009. Photo taken at the Maxims Hotel lobby (with Christmas Decor) Resorts World Manila.



Pic taken at Resorts World Manila near the entrance to the casino. Pic taking inside casino is not allowed. Had BRUNCH at Mercado, Resorts World Manila Dec. 11, 2009. Ate more on fruits and veggies should do me for the rest of the day, feeling light and not heavy.


This is the Globe that is currently underconstruction located at the Rotonda near Resorts World Manila and NAIA Terminal 3. Pics taken Dec. 11, 2009 on our way to Resorts World Manila. Could this Globe be similar to the one seen in SM Mall of Asia ? the developers are quite serious into making the place the next tourist attraction.

Okay, Resorts World Manila isn't completely done yet. Its 2nd and 3rd floor, the GRand theater and the Grand Mall has yet to open sometime next year. Resorts World Manila is one big playground for us locals and tourists but what really excites me is the start of the groundwork construction of Resorts World Bayshore City at the reclaimed land near the SM MAll of Asia. Resorts World Bayshore City is the name given to the second integrated resort which will be built and operated by the Travellers Aliance Group and Star Cruises starting hopefully in February 2010 !

RESORTS WORLD MANILA Scene : Picture Taking is PROHIBITED INSIDE & OUTSIDE the Premises (Head Scratch) Duh !

We had lunch buffet (again!) at Mercado inside Resorts World Manila, my 5th time actually. I haven't had any pictures taken outside of the resort with the Resorts World logo so I got my handy Nokia N95 for some outdoors shot. Upon seeing the iconic Resorts World logo atop the still under-construction building I pose readily for some souvenir shots when the guard waved at me suggesting photoshoots aren't allowed. The hell? I am outside of your premises right? and why the restriction ? Okay, I could realize that the building is still under construction and it might prematurely be reported (and blogged) if they are behind or ahead of schedule. But I also realize that by posting photos of those unfinished construction in the internet I am also helping them by making some free commercialization of the upcoming resort. Case in point, the facebook of Resorts World Sentosa Singapore has published numerous photos of early construction work of the upcoming Universal Studios Singapore. By doing so they are attracting numerous tourist early on. Why can't we just do the same? Why restrict specially us bloggers by not taking photos ? Aren't we indirectly marketing it ? Duh !?

The guard in white waved to me suggesting picture taking is not allowed but I ignored him anyway.

Another guard in white uniform looks at our photo-shoot almost wanting to restrict us for doing the shot hence my facial reaction in the photo

Picture taking inside Mercado also not allowed since it's located just across the poker tables and slot machines. Just pretend your texting on your celphone camera and just fire away on the clicker!

DCRJ on lunch buffet at Mercado's at Resorts World Manila (My 4th time) Nov. 24, 2009

Having lunch at Mercado's at the Resorts World Manila is now a habit of mine, my 4th time actually. Well, first of all lunch buffet is affordable compared to other lunch buffet in the Metro. Secondly, it's a good choice for inviting family members and friends without draining too much out of my own wallet. Thirdly, the ambiance is typically Las Vegas with the sight of numerous slot machines and poker tables. The only downside of this affordable buffet is that you tend to overeat which is not really healthy in my case. But I see to it that I get to have lots of fruits and salads, less on the meat and other carbs on the menu. The ice cream area is truly inviting with choices of 5 flavors plus a variety of toppings to satisfy your sweet cravings. I did missed out on some tasty-looking soups which my stomach capacity could no longer accomodate it. We did try out some of the slot machines after lunch but I am quite skeptic on its generosity to bestow some tokens, this is a computerized machine and quite prone to manipulation by computer-savvy personnels in my opinion. Gone are the days where you slide in coins and the actual sounds of coins coming out of the machine upon winning the correct lines. We also tried out the horse racing betting machine where you bet on a computerized horse via a touch-screen button on the monitor. We did lose two hundred bills on those machine bandits but had fun. Other areas inside the Resorts World are still under construction, it looks promising though and it's something we will be looking forward to in the near future.
