I come all the way from California and there is a California Pizza Kitchen in the Greenbelt shopping complex. That is in addition to the Auntie Annes, Marks and Spencers (UK), and Seattle’s Best Coffee. I knew some chains, like McDonalds, and Burger King, would be here, but I didn’t expect to see CPK or M&S!

Peoples Palace, a Thai restaurant in the Greenbelt shopping center, offers good priced meals which are delicious. I had chicken with cashew nuts, which had spring onions and peppers as well. My host had mixed vegetable stirfry. Both dishes were excellent, and the price, an average of $5 USD, is hard to beat.

Aside from Peoples Palace, Greenbelt offers many other options for dining, in addition to a dizzying array of options for shopping.

Onboard the Airbus A340, I was pleasantly surprised by my seat.  As Philippine Airlines is reconfiguring their fleet from a three cabin to a two cabin configuration, the old configuration remains.  As such, the first class cabin remains despite being considered Mabuhay Class (Business Class).  The seat was very comfortable – the pillows big and plush.  The seat reclined to a fully flat position.  I slept like a baby for at least 8 hours of the flight, which is far more than I would ever have gotten in an economy seat.

If you can afford it, definitely go for the Mabuhay Class, and if you find yourself on one of their older configuration airplanes, request to be in the first class cabin.  You won’t regret it!
