Christmas House of Lights

One of the highlights of the holiday season was our visit to the House of Lights.  The House of Lights is one of the beautiful houses inside Filinvest, Antipolo which they opened to the public. Both the interiors and exteriors of the house were decorated with lights, christmas ornaments and statues both big and small. 

At the main entrance, you have to register your name, address and contact number. There are no registration fees. Visiting them is absolutely FREE and Santa Claus is there to welcome you. 

Inside, you can find a Christmas Village with moving trains and pieces. 

There are also giant Santa Clauses around more than 6 ft tall. 

You cannot go inside the house but you can still see the decorations and it so beautiful. 

This place is not just all about decorations but they also made a beautiful Christmas belen which symbolizes the true essence of Christmas. 

There are still so much to see inside this place and I thank the owners for sharing their home. This place can definitely help you feel the Christmas spirit. Lastly, I love that they also play Christmas songs. This place is so perfect. 

RED ONION: Fall in love with Thai

I love food but I am not that adventurous in trying new cuisines. I am just so used to the usual Filipino, Chinese and Italian specialties. I am not even a fan of Japanese treats. So when I read about good reviews about this Thai resto in UP Town Center, I got really curious. Thus, my husband and I decided to try it out. 

Red Onion is located at the L/G floor of UP Town Center somewhere at the back. Once you enter the main entrance, it is on the right side. 

We were greeted by very friendly staff and manager. It was around 3 in the afternoon when we visited and the lunch time crowd has already left. 

We started with their specialty, 39 spices beef noodles. It was where you can choose what type of noodles, stock and meat you want. Since I am not fond of spicy food, we requested ours to have the regular stock. It is very flavorful and this is a must-try when you visit them.

This is my favorite at Red Onion, Crispy Pork Sweet and Sour. It is so yummy and I do not want to elaborate more but you should order this. 

We also tried the crispy dumpling. It was both steamed and fried. 

We also loved their House Fried Rice. One serving is good for 2 persons. When I say 2 persons, it means persons who loves rice. 

We are so happy dining at Red Onion and we highly recommend this place. You can see how happy Val is. (hahaha!) 

Another attraction is that their robot who cuts the noodles. Kids would be excited to watch it. 

Are you wondering how much was our bill inclusive of drinks? 

Are we coming back again? Ofcourse!
