Persian Palace Ayala Mall, Cebu City

Restaurants

The Persian Palace situated near the Active Zone in Ayala Mall offer a Middle Eastern/Arabian menu that covers a good range of cuisine although the menu consists of a number of variations of kebabs etc so is quite confusing. I have also visited another Persian Palace outlet at the Robinson’s Mall in Fuente Circle in Capitol area in Cebu City but I never went back there after once been charged prices from an old menu.

Cityscape Hotel, Mandaue City, Cebu Review

Hotels

I recently stayed at Cityscape for a few nights, arriving late in the evening it did take awhile for the staff to find my booking though.

We often get the bus and these are sometimes fitted out with big bass speakers with the music cranked up to the max thumping all the way to your destination. ... Continue

Over a year since the last trip to the Philippines had past and I was now boarding a Qantas flight from Sydney, direct to Manila. It was nice to not have to fly to Melbourne and stop over there which is what you must do when flying with Philippine Airlines.
