Halal food at Red Sea Restaurant


If you're looking for a Halal restaurant in Clark, Pampanga, check out Red Sea Restaurant. Red Sea serves Arabic, Mediterranean, and Indian food. Cozy ambiance. Friendly staff.

I took my group from Telkom Indonesia & Pundi Tours to Red Sea for lunch. We were treated to a tasteful buffet of fish, beef, and vegetables. Overall it was delightful dining experience.

If you plan to visit Red Sea, I suggest making a reservation beforehand.

The event was attended by travel agencies from Manila who sell Indonesian tour packages. Your Manila tour guide was one those invited by the Indonesian Embassy. Featured sellers were BMW Tours and Aneka Kartika Tours.




Was surprised to see my long-time friend Weni. She was one of the cultural performers

Look at all the goodies I brought home

Aliwan Fiesta 2013: The mother of Philippine festivals

Aliwan Fiesta brings the best of Philippine festivals to Manila for an awesome 3-day event showcasing the colorful, diverse Filipino culture.

This year Quirino Grandstand and the Cultural Center were once again the venues for this colorful event held last 11-13 April 2013.

Among all the streetdance performances, I was most excited to see Iloilo's Dinagyang Festival. This year Dinagyang again didn't disappoint with performances and costumes taken to a higher level of perfection. I swear I got goosebumps watching the Iloilo contingent.
