With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, we are sure that most of you still have not yet decided on where to spend this Day of Hearts with your partners, loved ones, families and friends. To help you out on your predicament, we are featuring a selected number of GenSan Restaurants and establishments which are running Valentine’s Day Promotions purposely to bring out the romantics in you.
We suggest you contact them right away for your reservations because you would have to remember that February 14, 2010 also marks the first day of the Chinese New Year, the year of the Tiger. This means that Fil-Chinese Families will also be out that day looking for the best food in town. We are just lucky because this year, we have more choices of GenSan Restaurants and establishments to pick out for our twin Valentines and Chinese New Year celebrations.
Thanks to the owners of these GenSan restaurants and establishments for emailing to us their respective promo details.
