I would like to thank everyone who sent their photos and recommendations to the first week of my Nokia OVI contest! The photos you’ve sent are mouth-watering and thinking of whom to pick for the shortlist made me really hungry 😛

Here’s a sample entry for Week 2:

Plantation Bay

Plantation Bay Resort and Spa was hailed as one of the Top 100 Resorts in the World by Conde Nast Traveler and one of the Top 10 Family-Friendly Resorts in Asia by Asia Spa Magazine.

If you get the chance to visit Plantation Bay Resort and Spa at Mactan, Cebu, Don’t forget to check out Kilimanjaro Cafe’s Power House Burger.  It is so far the best that I’ve tasted. Also try their Seafood Pansit Canton.
