We found Green ATS Bulalohan on the way to the casino. Another restaurant with a great view of the Taal Volcano, and supposedly really good bulalo. The restaurant is mostly outdoors, but covered. We asked for a seat right by the edge so that we could have a great view of the volcano. It was gloomy that day though, so the wind was pushing rain into our booth.
Tagaytay is a city pretty similar to Vancouver. It’s kind of gloomy, and windy with lots of rain.It’s a place that many people said I’d feel right at home at. Driving through Tagaytay you’ll notice that they are well known for Bulalo. A type of beef soup with a big bone filled with bone marrow. There are many restaurants that line the mountain side with a great view of the Taal Volcano.
Yup another Fast Food chain in the Philippines. You can see that they are quite big on that. On our way back to Tagaytay we stopped by Mang Inasal for breakfast. Everything was pretty cheap at about $2 or less for the meals and menu items. They specialize on BBQ items.
Our last dinner at Plantation Bay Resort was at their Italian themed restaurant called Palermo. Walking in, it was a much classier restaurant than the others. There was even a live two-person band playing and singing songs that my parents would sing when I grew up. My parents, aunt and uncle really enjoyed it and would quietly sing a long.
Kilimanjaro Kafe is another one of the restaurants located in Plantation Bay. It oversees the salt water man made lagoon that spans pretty much the entire resort. They have a breakfast buffet which changes daily, as well as an a la carte menu. We visited Kilimanjaro Kafe for a late dinner on our first night.
Cebu is known for its Lechon. When I asked around about what to do in Cebu, they automatically said get Cebu Lechon. We got some lechon at the airport, but at noon, everything was sold out, and we were stuck with the head. We asked our taxi guide, where the best lechon is and he told us CnT, and some other one. So first thing in the morning, we went to CnT and had some lechon for breakfast!
I wanted a fancy-ish place to try in the Philippines, so while walking around Greenbelt, we finally decided on Zuni.
While waiting for my cousin at Greenbelt in Makati, we decided to rest a bit and hang out at Caffe Ti Amo and have some coffee. My friends were fond of this place, so we got some frozen coffees and some ice cream.
After another long day of SCUBA Diving, my uncle wanted to visit Shakey’s Pizza Parlor. It’s been a long time since his last visit, but it’s somewhere he and my aunt always went to on dates, so he wanted to come back and reminisce.
Walking around Greenbelt, we were looking for a place to hang out for some drinks, and I just let the music lead the way. I heard some really good music from far away, so I had to find that place, and it led us to Elements. Elements Gastrolounge is a lounge/semi-club.
We were walking around “D” Mall in Boracay looking for a place to eat and a place to take a picture for my SCUBA license. Andok’s is a popular chain restaurant in the Philippines known for their BBQ. They offer a lot of Filipino favourites like crispy pata, sinigang, longanisa, and even sio pao.
We stayed at the Boracay Regency right in the middle of Station 2. Boracay is an awesome island, and is a popular beach to travel to. One side of the island is just perfect sandy beaches where most of the tourists and people hang out. There’s tons of hotels, restaurants, and markets, and malls to shop at. The other side of the island is more rocky, but supposedly they have awesome wind surfing there.
