Special diet? Drop by Zuni, Greenbelt 5!

To be honest, my mother and I had doubts about enjoying our usual Mother's Day lunch, given that my brother - who just last week had succumbed to a mild stroke at the age of 36 - was on a NO salt / NO fat diet. We decided to stick to our usual jaunt Zuni Restaurant at Greenbelt 5, Makati City, since their grilled selection has thus far managed to cater to all our dietary constraints (such as allergies and limited diet for my mother, who has cancer) without sacrificing the taste. Thankfully, we weren't disappointed. After explaining my brother's condition and presenting a list of his dietary restrictions, the chef came up with a customized meal covering appetizers up to dessert.  The result? A savory set of dishes that left my brother quite content. The rest of us were able to enjoy our regular fare as well. Truly a happy mother's day for us!

CIE Preschool Opens In Makati!

CIE is a British school from Cebu that has branched out to the Makati area. Their Makati preschool will start this coming school year. The preschool is located at 107 Palanca Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City, which is quite near the business district and Ayala Center malls, and walking distance from most condominiums in the area, including BSA, Shang Grand Tower, Prince Plaza, Greenbelt Madison, Residences, Rada Regency etc.

Because it is an international school, its school year starts in August and ends in June. You can opt to drop by on May 16 (I'll be doing this as well!), which marks the start of their summer classes, in order to see the facilities, teachers, and class schedule/structure first hand.

The tuition fee is actually not that high, given that it's an international school in a prime location and they do offer flexible payment schemes. They charge for their M-F classes the same rate that other preschools give for their 2 to 3x a week classes.

I'll have more to blog after my May 16 visit, but you can opt to call the school at 8880909 for any inquiries.
