food and fireworks

While I was in the Philippines, they had the 3rd World Pyro Olympics, a fireworks competition between different countries. They would have two countries compete each Saturday for a number of Saturdays, but they kept moving the dates later and later. We did manage to catch it on May 3, 2008. I believe the two countries competing then were China and Germany.

We couldn't get tickets and they weren't really letting people through to the Mall of Asia. Between fireworks though, we did go into the Mall and ate at the Chinese restaurants. Some of the restaurants were upping their prices for front row seats, but this restaurant just had their regular prices. And we still had front row seats.

This was dinner: crispy duck, siomai, mixed green vegetables, tofu & black mushroom hot pot.




Here are the fireworks:
