Intramuros Revisited with Bestie (October 2025)

  October 18, 2025 | Saturday 

It’s okay to not be okay. 

And I think for me, this was one of those days.

I told it to my best friend and so we planned to meet in the afternoon. 

At 5 in the afternoon, our meeting place was at Liwasang Bonifacio near LRT Central Station. 

Then we just took a walk going to The Bay Leaf Hotel. 

We planned to have a sunset dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in Manila.

It’s a rooftop resto with the perfect view of Manila Bay at the left side and Intramuros on the right side. 

We ordered and while waiting for our food, we took some photos and videos just in time for the sunset. 

 

The food as usual was great!

We ordered pork sinigang, pasta chicken and iced coffee.

After our dinner, we went down of the hotel and took a walk along Intramuros. 

We then went to San Agustin church which was only a 15-minute walk from the Bay Leaf.

It’s my first time to be here during nighttime. 

It felt nice to be back in Intramuros after a quiet some time. 

 

Our next stop was Plazuela De Sta. Isabela and took a quick rest.

 

Manila Cathedral was our next destination.

Followed by Figarro Coffee wherein we ordered coffee and cake. 

 

We took a walk again going to Pasig Esplanade. It’s a Saturday night and there’s a lot of people enjoying countless food stalls. 

I was quite amazed with the Binondo-Intramuros bridge. The night lights reflecting in the dark Pasig River gave away its photogenic side. 

 

At 9 in the evening, we’re already on the way home. 

 Grateful for this well spent afternoon to evening with my bestie!

It was nice to see and experience you again, Intramuros!
