Dinner at Opus

Finally, we were able to meet up with good friends Harvey and Mina the last weekend before we're scheduled to leave for Beijing. Resto of choice was Opus at Resorts World Manila, a restaurant and lounge bar quite popular with foodies as it's run by its equally famous chef, Carlo Miguel. We haven't really done the rounds of bars and this is the first in a looooong time we've been out at night in a resto cum bar. We were seated in one of the booths but as you go further inside the restaurant, you'd see the lounge where most of the younger crowd are having drinks and enjoying the music and basically mingling. We were there just to eat and moved to Republiq after.
