What makes the Jumbo Floating Restaurant in Manila bay beautiful are the detailed artwork that you'll find there. This was one of them–woodcarving of horses in a gallop. You'll find this in one of the meeting rooms.

another shot of the Manila sunset at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant. By the way, for so long I thought that there existed a Casino inside this place. But when we went there, the people there said there was none. Hmmmm…this place has created so much controversy several years ago because it was rumored to be owned by Stanley Ho.

the Floating Restaurant featured authentic Chinese furnitures, art, and sets. Everything was beautiful. I wish I can go back there. The food was also heavenly. I think you sit on this chair while a servant cleans your shoes (note the foot rest).

taking a break from a long day’s hard work. This is actually what the Jumbo Floating Restaurant looks like inside. Remember this is a “parked” ship. Nice, noh?

Yes it was cold and you have to drink a Vodka, a flavored one. These are two of my colleagues trying out the Vodka room.

A nice shot of the sunset at Manila Bay with the Jumbo Floating Restaurant in the foreground. The restaurant is actually a “parked” ship transformed into a restaurant. It features a Vodka room, a special room with temperature set at negative 10 degrees. They say drinking Vodka at that temperature is just plain heaven.
