We have a lot of files to track down the progress of our little business. Everyday, Morning updates each. All of those files are very important as it details all our business transactions, food costs, sales and expenses. It will do damage to the business if those files would be deleted so were thinking of getting an online storage as a backup. It is better to be prepared for the unexpected right?

IBackup seems to offer the perfect services we require. The application can perform interactive and scheduled backups of our critical files to our online backup account. The interface is very user friendly and we can just drag and drop files that we need to backed up or retrieved. It also has automatic scheduled backups so that I won’t forget to backup all our recent files.

The service only costs $9.95 monthly for a 5GB storage space. This is great for small business owners like us.

FIL and MIL celebrated their wedding anniversary last Friday at Taste Asia and we had a blast. Taste Asia is at Mall of Asia near the Hypermarket. What stands out are the large array of fresh seafoods to choose from. Most of them are still alive and swimming on water tanks. After choosing, you can ask the stalls to cook the food for you.

Here’s one of the water tanks containing oysters.  B.boy loved looking at those, saying isssh while pointing at the fishes.

 Here are the stalls offering paluto services.

They also now have an indoor dining facility. The interiors are nice and there are 3 flat screen TVs that will entertain you while waiting for food. The service is quick too as we got the food after 30 minutes. You can also opt to buy the beverage at the hypermarket to save you so bucks.

Here’s where you get a glimpse of the interiors of the indoor dining area.  Can you spot the flat screen TVs?

We ordered the following:

(1) Calamares.  We were surpised because the meat is very tender.  I’m not sure what kind of squid were used but the ones we are used too are a bit makunat.

(2)  Sinigang na Talakitok sa Miso.  We all loved this!  The fish is fresh and the soup has the perfect sourness that you want for sinigang.

(3)  Buttered Shrimps.  Again, the shrimps are fresh.  The only complaint that we have for this dish is that there isn’t enough sauce.

(4)  Sweet and Sour MayaMaya.  The fish is very crispy and the sauce is very flavorful.  However, i think they put in quite a large amount of vetsin because i got dizzy after eating.

So is it the best paluto in town?  Try it and see.
