September 11, 2010 (Saturday)
I have always been fascinated with the southern cities of Manila, particularly Paranaque and Alabang. And I have often wondered why people I have met would opt to burden themselves that far to go to central Manila every day, either for school or work, and seclude themselves within their area on weekends. Maybe there is some secret to these places aside from living among the rich and famous. Nowadays, both places have been sites of must-go-to featured restaurants. Hang-out places are also mushrooming as fast as if it was the metro, leaving me mystified and having that urge to go see for myself. Opportunity presented itself this fortunate Saturday afternoon.

From Sucat exit, we headed straight to McDo then turned left and went all the way straight to the infamous Tropical Hut located in Aguirre Street. This street is like the mainstream BF Paranaque gimik site. The Pergola was visible to our right almost immediately, inside was a different kind of Robinsons mini mall, with the bare essentials including a Robinsons Supermarket, toy store and Handyman shop. We made our way to an open area filled with dining tables and chairs on the 2nd floor of the establishment.
