Serenitea Cha Kitchen, BF Homes

I love milk tea! I absolutely love it that I actually have a tea blog chronicling tea drink reviews and stores. We found out about Serenitea Cha Kitchen from online friends and we immediately scheduled a visit.

Serenitea is located at Aguirre Avenue in BF Homes.

Nice place to hang out in and they also have free wifi! (They open quite late though, 12:30 p.m. if I remember correctly).

Their drinks generally look like this.

And they have snacks too!

I fell in love with Serenitea the first time I went and because I loved their tea so much we actually tried out their branch in Greenhills the next day!

Fresh GenSan Tuna in Paranaque

After experiencing fresh tuna in GenSan (check out this video) I got spoiled and made the assumption that it's only in GenSan that you will get the best tuna. We were brought to Citra Mina before we left GenSan and we were told that they have branches in Paranaque!

I've passed by Citra Mina countless of times (in BF and Multinational), but never had the chance to check it out. After sampling my Tito's yummy grilled tuna I told myself I'd go the first chance I got.

The store keepers were really warm and helpful. Here are some photos from their store in Multinational.

Paranaque Central Post Office

I've lived in Paranaque all my life, but never got the chance to visit the central post office. It's located on Sucat Road (going towards Duty Free), near SM Sucat after the overpass and sits by a curb (so it's easy to miss). If you reach the second overpass after SM Sucat it means you missed it already.

If you don't have a car you can ride any jeep or FX that passes through Sucat Road and just tell the driver that you're going down at the Post Office.

Here's a map that can help you find the Paranaque Central Post Office.

Photo: C5 Extension

This is the 1st kilometer of the highly controversial C5 extension which starts from Multinational Village and crosses Sucat Road via a flyover. Then it passes between the two buildings of SM Sucat mall and extends all the way to Las Pinas.

RR Plants and Planters

A home will only be complete with some greenery in it. It was my Mom who brought us some plants, but we eventually had to re-pot them because they outgrew the plastic plant bag.

One place to get pots, plants and other garden materials is Plants & Planters at France Street, Better Living Subdivision Paranaque.

Clay pots range from PhP5 to PhP20 each. They also have bigger pots and planters. Mixed soil is just PhP50 per sack.

They also sell flowering plants, air plants, cactus', ferns etc.
