Do you want to say it with dessert, or impress your date with a lavish dinner? Maybe have a mini vacation in the city in the many hotels in Manila offering promos. There's so many ways to celebrate Valentine's Day in Manila, so if you're still lost and confused on what to do this weekend, this guide is for you.
1. Woo your sweetheart's sweet tooth.
How do you love thee? You can say it with chocolate, or just any kind of beautiful dessert out there. You can go romantic with the red-tinted red velvets, go nuts with nutella desserts, or even color it green with the hip flavor of the moment, matcha.
2. You can also say it with bacon, because bacon.
This needs no further explanation. Well, okay, unless you do not eat bacon, though (our hearts are breaking a little at the thought). There's so many bacon dishes to try all around Manila, and here's a date idea: a bacon degustacion! Is your mouth watering already?
3. Go fancypants and visit the newest resort complex, enjoy a lavish buffet, or impress with an equally fancypants degustation.
Romantics can be extra generous during this time of February, so why not go big and splurge for your loved one at City of Dreams (perhaps you'll win big) and select from the many high-end food choices there? If you find yourself hungry in the wee hours of the night, troop over to the 24-hour buffet of Hyatt. There's also degustation dining at The Tasting Room for an elegant dinner–aside from the restaurant in City of Dreams Manila, there are more tasting menus in the metro. We've listed nine more degustation restaurants you can check out this weekend.
4. Escape to a sweet staycation at a new hotel.
If there's not enough time to book a flight to your favorite resort, a quick staycation is perfect for you and your Valentine. Plush beddings, room service, and a quick breather from the busy-ness of work and home — it already feels so comfortable and inviting that it's time to reserve a room for the weekend.
5. Take your pick among the many food and hotel promotions.
Feed your foodie sweetheart with Brownies Unlimited's Personalized Brownies — spell out "I love you," or "Be Mine" if he or she is not yet already. Have triple the sweetness at BONO Artisanal Gelato with their Valentine Sundae. Melt your heart on a dessert experience with Wicked’s Valentine Flavors. Torn between movie night and intimate dinner date? Worry no more, as you can enjoy both and more this February at Cravings.
Love bulgogi and Korean food? Head to Sariwon for their Valentine Wine & Dine BBQ Set Menu. Spoil your tastebuds in an Italian feast with Lombardi's ‘Mi Completi’ Lovers Special 4-course menu. And if comfort food is what couples are craving for, B and P's Valentine Delights should set the mood right.
