Appreciating Family Time and Great Food at Megaworld Hotels


Being Megaworld Hotels Club Access Members, our card entitles us to free and discounted hotel stays and dining at Megaworld Hotels and outlets. These are perks that my wife and I enjoy so much. Find out why.

The Picky Eater

I am a picky eater. But I love food and I love food adventures. And I love to eat, too. I am not trying to give you indigestion with my declarations. That first statement does not contradict the others. That’s because while I love to eat, at most times, I pick the best food and new dishes to eat.

I am a total burger lover. We love this one at Savoy Hotel Boracay because they cooked it medium well. And check out the fries — made of real potatoes!

Actually, I learned to appreciate food better when I met my ex-girlfriend (one and the same with my wife), who happens to be a great cook. Sometimes some of her dishes are my benchmark to critique a particular dish.

When we started dating, I learned to appreciate food differently. This is how I realized that I am a picky eater because I eat to enjoy not just stuff my mouth with anything.

I am not supposed to eat cheese. But this quatro formaggi pizza at Cafe Belmont in Boracay is hard to resist!

I don’t go for simply salty, sweet, or just spur. Instead, I prefer a medley of flavors, scents, and textures of the food in my mouth. And by the way, I am also concerned about temperature. This really matters with how I appreciate my food.

Better Together

After 20 years of being together, I can say that wifey and I are better together. While we have different personalities, we have so many shared interests. We both like superhero movies (or maybe my influence has rubbed off on her) and having lazy days in front of the TV.

Our welcome treats at Belmont Hotel Boracay. All of totally dig these, especially the chocolate chip cookies!

But most of all, we love to eat. Together, we have traveled to several destinations around the country for different purposes. It could either be for an event, a family reunion, family vacation, or a wedding to attend.

A special treat for this little girl — caramelized apples on a bed of chocolate from the staff of Richmonde Hotel Iloilo.

While we usually go on budget travel, one thing we don’t scrimp upon is food. More than shopping, we are out for a gastronomic adventure in our jaunts and journeys.

Spicy Prawns Arrabiata and Smoked Salmon Pasta. Wifey and I shared the arrabiata while the kids devoured the pasta in white sauce. Both are must-try at Cafe Belmont in Boracay. These are discounted using the Club Access Card.

Megaworld Hotels Club Access Card

Last year, we were gifted with the Megaworld Hotels Club Access Card. It comes with vouchers that a member can use in all Megaworld hotel properties all over the Philippines.

The past year have been marked with a lot of family travels for us. That is because we are homeschooling our kids so we can take off anytime of the week. Weekdays are especially ideal for us because everyone is busy with their lives and so hotels and attractions are usually bare. Oftentimes, we find the pool to ourselves.

Happy memories at Richmonde Hotel Iloilo. GM Nat Lim and staff surprised the kids with balloons and sweet treats.

Among those that we have visited are Richmonde Hotel Iloilo, Savoy Hotel Boracay, Belmont Hotel Manila, and recently, Belmont Hotel Boracay.

The girls had a good chat with Ms. Nat Lim, GM of Richmonde Hotel Iloilo. She’s also the ambassadress of the Club Access Card.

Dining Together

In all these travels, there are two things we like the most — hitting the water and dining together. We have sampled the things that Megaworld food outlets can offer us and we have thoroughly enjoyed them.

Our eldest Shawna has become a more adventurous eater — a girl after our hearts (or probably a mind in tune with Gordon Ramsay). Meanwhile, our little Shane is still her “egg critic” self. She still loves her eggs — whichever way they are prepared.

Shane sings for the morning shift staff at Belmont Hotel Boracay. That’s why they like serving her — she entertains them, too. The lady, whose name is Gay, is our kasimanwa from Bacolod.

The restaurant staff usually caters to her whims — from sunny side up, to scrambled eggs, to boiled eggs, and finally mushroom and cheese omelet. They really try to please her as much as they can. 🙂

The Club Access Card has not only allowed us to stay in premier hotels in major destinations but also elevated our dining experiences. And all these came at discounted prices, which is part of the perks of membership.

So thank you Megaworld for all these opportunities. We shall be renewing our Megaworld Hotels Club Access Card soon. <3
