Circles Event Café at Makati Shangri-La
Given that it was a special day for me and my SO, I decided that we have dinner at Circles Event Café in Makati Shangri-La. In my past research on the various resto’s in town, Circles has always cropped up as having the best buffet, so I wanted to see what all the hoopla was all about.
Now I understand why. The selection isn’t very large, but it’s good enough for most your needs. The great thing is the taste, the service, and the desserts. The food, though it may not seem like a lot of choice, is good, the best buffet food I’ve had. The service we received was very good too (my SO requested for mangoes for her salad, and even if there wasn’t any on the selection, they got her one anyway). And the desserts, well, you know I’m not a dessert guy, but having a lot of options (the choices for dessert seemed a lot to me!), some in small portions, had me wanting to try all of them! If I wasn’t so full from the food, I’d probably gorge myself in dessert.
And the great thing is, the whole buffet was very reasonably priced. My SO and I get higher total bills with less food/choices in other fine restos. It’s not cheap, mind you, but it’s not expensive either. Given the quality of food, ambiance, and service, I think we got our money’s worth.
You want buffet? I definitely recommend you try Circles Event Café in Makati Shangri-La.

With the arrival of Hanachi-e, I expected that me and my SO would do a bunch of pet related stuff, particularly since Hanachi-e is a cat. Last Saturday, we went to Tiendesitas Pet Village to check out some other stuff that may be needed, as well as to get Hanachi-e groomed. Of course we bought a bunch of stuff, and the grooming was very well done! I forgot which store we had Hanachi-e groomed, but when I remember, I’ll post the link.
That night though, my SO was getting worried ‘coz she thought she saw a little blood in Hanachi-e’s poop (I don’t remember seeing any when I borrowed Hanachi-e). She also mentioned that there was supposed to be a vaccination around 2 weeks ago, but Hanachi-e didn’t get it yet. Given that she was worried, so we planned to take her to the vet the following day.
Fortunately, Tiendesitas has a Pet Clinic (Animal Care Specialist), and so we went there. The vet my SO found on the net wasn’t the one around at the time, but the vet on duty was nice and seemed quite professional. After some checking, she found that Hanachi-e has mites, which causes her ears to get dirty quite fast. She prescribed some mite control stuff for the ears, and as an initial check for any bowel related problems, she initiated deworming. She also mentioned about medicine on the skin that lasts a month and that helps in controlling mites, fleas, and certain worms, so I decided we get that anyway. I like how the vet treated Hanachi-e, though Hanachi-e might feel otherwise (hell, try getting something stuffed in your ears and mouth!), the treatments should be good for her.
My SO and I were trying to find a one stop place for pet needs, and so far, my experience with Tiendesitas Pet Village is quite good. After having to deal with pet related issues (directly or indirectly) for the past while, I’m glad there’s a place where both good supplies and medical assistance for pets are readily available and in a decent location.
