Well, three big things:1.) incomparable PRICE and events;2.) Authentic Techno/Trance Music with imported DJs and;3.) Cool People (The usual people you see in the Sunday edition of The Philippine Daily Inquirer on Lifestyle Section.)This event is usually jam packed with a European-crowd-dominated trance/techno enthusiasts, local and half-bred showbiz celebrities, and popular people who own a space in lifestyle columns in major newspapers, magazines and tabloids.

Chinois Superbowl 2007-09-10 13:03:00 Being away from Davao City, one of the things I missed was eating authentic Chinese lomi (fat noodles in thick soup with vegetables and meat). To name a few, only Chowking, Henlin and Goodahhh and other 1st class Chinese restaurants are serving lomi in their menu. Some are not really authentic in taste and others, aside from having a less serving are indeed expensive. As a Dabawenyo, I find it hard and difficult to find and eat lomi in Makati. Unlike in Davao, you know that Taipan, Sunya or Kusina Dabaw serve lomi even at the wee hours of the night in a very affordable price. Well, Chinois in Landmark Foodcourt serves lomi and the chef cooks it infront of you. It's affordable, fast, fresh and delicious. Aside from lomi, they serve mami (buckwheat noodles in chicken or beef stock soup), pansit(?????Stir-fried noodles) and other Chinese-based Filipino merienda(snacks). ...
