There is a spacious floor area where tables and chairs may be set up. Perfect for a small gathering, a huge flatscreen TV doubles as a karaoke machine.

Surrounded by a couple of LCD monitors and blinking lights, it’s as if you’re getting ready to blast off. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/news-special1/lifestyle/8/28/4-112816_1.jpg"/><figcaption><div class="embed-desc">This is your chance to pilot a spaceship. <em> JPhoto by the author</em></div></figcaption></figure></div><p>Aside from being aesthetically spot-on, the knobs are actually functional. Some would play sound bites, while others serve as light switches to different areas of the room. The chairs are also ergonomic and comfortable. </p><p>A noteworthy function of this cockpit is that it actually moves. With the right amount of forward thrust, guests could steer it up and down. </p><p>The bedroom has its own charm -- as if situated in one of the outer galaxies with &quot;stars&quot; serving as the nightlight. Comfortable and relaxing, one can’t help but take a quick nap. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/news-special1/lifestyle/8/28/5-112816_1.jpg"/><figcaption><div class="embed-desc">In space, no one can hear you scream.

A life-sized poster of Boba Fett and the frozen Han Solo are there to be discovered.<br/> <br/><strong>NEW MENU</strong></p><p>Aside from different themed rooms, Victoria Court also wants guests to try its new dishes. </p><p>For something light, Sisig Tacos make for a great bar chow. Crunchy and a bit oily as they are, an alternative would be the tofu. These dishes would go well with a couple of ice-cold beers. </p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/news-special1/lifestyle/8/28/6-112816_1.jpg"/><figcaption><div class="embed-desc">Sisig Tacos. <em> JPhoto by the author</em></div></figcaption></figure></div><p>The Japanese flavored dog is another snack that is a must-try. Topped with nori and other seasoning, the dog is flavorful and reminisce of a Japanese snack.</p><p>For something to share, the Daddy’s BBQ Pizza might be your best bet. It has a crunchy base and has a smoky taste.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/news-special1/lifestyle/8/28/7-112816_1.jpg"/><figcaption><div class="embed-desc">Daddy’s BBQ Pizza. <em> JPhoto by the author</em></div></figcaption></figure></div><p>Aside from the classic favorite crispy pata, the Sizzling Bulalo might be able to tempt you more.
