Newport Cinemas at Resorts World Manila Now Open

Newport Cinemas, Megaworld Corporation's latest feat, unveiled last week with a special screening of Angelina Jolie's "Salt." Housed in the luxurious Newport Mall Resorts World Manila, the new facility will allow viewers to experience luxury and entertainment at the same time.

The latest technology and unique first class service are to be expected from the four theatres:

Newport Cinemas 2 & 4 - conventional 35mm projection theatre

Newport Cinema 3 - 3D Cinema boasting of a Christie Solaria CP2230 Digital Cinema Projector

Newport Ultra Cinema 1 - 80 fully reclining seats with butler services for bottomless drinks and popcorns

Cinema 2 tickets are priced at Php200. Cinema 3D is a Php300 damage. Cinema 4 and Ultra Cinema 1 are yet to be opened.

We watched "Salt" at Cinema 2 and the place reminded me of Eastwood's 3D Cinema. The chairs have ample leg room and are really comfortable. Also, the armrest could be raised so snuggle time is doable. <3 By the way, the cinema's seating arrangement is different. Row A is at the back row, near the entrance/exit. We were seated at Row M, just 2 rows away from the screen. We felt like Angeline Jolie will pop right out of the screen...but not in a good way. Just a tip: make sure to double check your seat reservations if you don't want headaches halfway through the movie.

Anyway, below are some photos from the event. Huge thanks to Megaworld Corporation and Azrael for the invite!

Danissa tries Uncle Cheffy's Panizza

I DECLARE THIS MY COOLEST POST EVER BECAUSE THE TITLE RHYMES.

meh.

So what's a Panizza?

It's a very thin pizza (go figure!) that you roll up with Arugula leaves and Alfalfa sprouts. It's like Yellow Cab's Dear Darla Pizza minus the hard crust and YC's signature oiliness. Hihi.

 thin-crust panizza

Last week, we went to Uncle Cheffy at Eastwood mall to try it out. The sign said "Brick-Oven Panizza" which reminded me of Chi's brick oven kitchen at BF Homes, PQ.

I like how the crust is thin and crisp yet it doesn't crack or break when you roll it. Note that it doesn't have much cheese and toppings so make sure to add arugula, alfalfa, and salsa. Just imagine you're eating pizza and salad at the same time. LOL. Putting the vegetables and rolling up the crust before taking a bite makes eating a panizza fun and experiential.
