Carmina has never been inside she had no clue what restaurants was inside. There were so many floors of restaurant in each area. The only was look at the directory for each level. Hunger strikes Mom Violy was unsure where she wanted to dine.  Mom Violy made a choice to dine inside TGI FRIDAYS American Bar and Grill. The theme of  TGI FRIDAYS  was Halloween.

The last time I ate my favorite candy apple from  Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory  was year 2021. The time we're experience staying at home in the pandemic. I had purchased through  grab .  While walking inside the  Shangri-La Plaza  I remember there was Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory all I did was asked around where it was located. I discovered that my favorite candy apple is located inside on the third floor of Shangri-La Plaza. Carmina notices the prices had increase range from 500 pesos to 600 per piece depending on the type of candy apples.
