We left around 11, I think. There was a little bit of traffic, and at the clinic, there were a lot of patients as well. It took us a long while to have Thirdy checked out. Chea also had to visit her OB-Gyne so it was past 3pm that we finally left the medical arts building.
Although we had a few bites of KFC fries and sandwiches during the wait, we wanted to sit down for a proper meal. Chea was sleepy at the time, so I decided we head over to Banawe Avenue and look for a place to eat there.
While we were cruising along Banawe, I was glancing around looking for something that we haven't tried yet, of which there were a lot. There were new buildings coming up all over the place, so there were new establishments in the area.
I checked out Foursquare to see a list of restaurants in the area. But nothing tickled my fancy. With all the chinese restaurants in the area, a name stood out in the list: Chef Robert. I looked at the comments but didn't read anything that convinced me to try it out. We drove past it and we were already passing Everthing At Steak, when we decided to turn around since there was nothing past that area anymore.
On the way back, I thought we should just try it out, since it was getting late already. It was fortunate that there was a spot for us to park, so we did, and we headed in. I'll blog about it another time.
After that, we headed home. Our usual way home when we're around this area, takes us through Scout Torillo. This is the area which has the warehouse sale on children's toys.
When we passed by, we saw a tarpaulin showing that the annual pre-christmas sale had started that day. Chea wanted to have a look so we had to turn back.

| what? cash only? |
We went in and had a look around. Most of the new items had discounts of about 20%. It's the old items that had bigger discounts. And they got even bigger with items that had ruined packaging.
 |
| That's at least 20% off from what they're being sold at the malls |
There were a lot of people there despite it being almost 5pm. And there were people still coming in.
 |
| 50%! You couldn't find that in malls (since they're marked up first, and then supposedly discounted. lol.) |
Thirdy saw some Minion toys (Despicable Me), but they were new, so they were expensive, at about 1,000 pesos. Thirdy isn't really into toys. He basically just likes to throw them. So we passed on buying them.
We did, however, buy him a couple of shirts. I also bought myself this action figure. It's a McFarlane toy, and they're usually expensive. It was being sold for 300 pesos because the packaging was practically torn. I'm planning to use it for toy photography.
 |
| From 999pesos to 300pesos. That's 70% off right there. |
We then headed home and dropped off Cedric at Trinoma since he was meeting Rose.
