Food stalls were in place at the Chopsticks Alley as different stores and hotels had food kiosks in the area the likes of L’ Fisher Hotel, 21 Restaurant, L’ Sea Dimsum as Western Electronics supported the Friday night with auto audio entertainment with live bands of San Miguel Beer, Pepsi Cola, Rexona and GMA TV network providing entertainment.
It was fun as each one greeted each other Kung Hei Fat Choi and Happy Valentine’s in one.
Congrats to Diotay Lopue and Crispin Chua!
