<br />
<u>Going to Bantayan Island:</u><br />
<br />
We were at the Mactan Airport around 2am. So for safety and comfort reasons, we just took the airport taxi to the north bus terminal, total fare was P200 since there was no traffic yet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Yellow Ceres aircon bus to Hagnaya Port - P200 (our bus left the terminal around 3am, we arrived at Hagnaya Port a little past 6am)<br />
Hagnaya Port terminal fee - P10 (once the bus reaches the port, a collector will go around inside the bus for the terminal fee)<br />
Ferry to Bantayan Island - P170 (again, a collector will go around the bus for the ferry fare)<br />
Total Fare going to the island - P380<br />
<br />
<br />
The ferry left a little late, around 8am. We have no idea what the cause of delay was since we just waited inside the bus the whole time.<br />
<br />
Once reaching the island, passengers can go back inside the bus. I think the drop off point would be either in Sta. Fe or Bantayan town proper. For us, we alighted at the port gates because our resort is at the other side of the island (Beach Placid in Alice Beach). We took a pedicab to the resort which cost us P15 per head.<br />
<br />
<u>Going back to Cebu City:</u><br />
<br />
We took the resort's free shuttle service going to the port. Ferry fare and terminal fee is the same (P170 and P10) but the bus ride was cheaper (only P160). Unfortunately, the traffic in Cebu City was as if you were in EDSA. From the port to the bus terminal took us more than 5 hours, 2 hours of that just sitting in traffic.<br />
Total fare going back to Cebu - P340<br />
<br />
Total fare to and from Bantayan Island: P720<br />
<br />
<u>Others:</u><br />
<br />
> If you have an early morning flight like we had, take the airport taxi.<br />
> Take the aircon bus. You will pass by some rough roads and road constructions, and the ride is like getting an instant face powder. There was one point when we can't even see the vehicle in front of the bus because of the thick dust.<br />
> If you're planning to buy dried seafood as pasalubong (danggit, pusit, etc.), buy them at the Bantayan Market. They say its cheaper to buy there than to buy them in Cebu City markets.<br />
> Try their inihaw na longganisang cebu.<br />
> If you are planning to tour the island itself, there are packages being offered at P1,200. The tour can last the whole day and the traveler can decide on the whole itinerary.

I think they only have three set meals. I chose spicy chicken meal with waffles. The chicken was just 'ok'. I still like <a href="http://bitesandwonders.blogspot.com/2013/05/4-fingers-chicken-place.html" target="_blank">4 Fingers' chicken</a> better.<br />
<br />
But the waffles, they are a must-try. I think it's made of sweet potato flour or something. <i>Basta,</i> it's not your ordinary waffle. If I'll come back and if I can only order just the waffle, I will.<br />

There are more food stalls inside, so we might be going back to try them. Hopefully, next time, Mr. Delicious has steak.<br />

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Few weeks ago, I
went to Pundaquit in San Antonio, Zambales with my officemates. Being the more
senior within the group, I was in charge of organizing the trip. My officemates
thought planning would be easy for me since I told them I have been to Pundaquit
a couple of times already. Then I realized I don't remember anything valuable
or significant from my experiences. I was shocked at how little I know about
going on a trip to Pundaquit, given that I have been to the place three or four
times already. I can't even recommend for a good place to stay.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span></span><br />
<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">And then I
panicked. Is it only Pundaquit? How about the other places I've been to?! Have
I forgotten them as well??! It was a very sad realization, thinking that I went
to these amazing places, experienced a lot of things, without really learning
or remembering much. I have been traveling a lot these past years, and to think
that I probably won’t recall most of it is just, I don’t know, a downer.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div style="margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">So I've decided
to give blogging another shot. Maybe the thought that I would have to write
down a summary of my trip would make me more mindful of where I go and what I
do. Writing it down would be a way of immortalizing my experiences. And I would
have something to look back to in case my memory fails me again.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rae bought the sea salt caramel mocha which has a very cute starfish on top. Mine's the peppermint pot mocha which looks exactly like a pot with a bud of peppermint. They looked so cool it took us a while to finally drink it.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We found it too sweet for our taste. I liked the mint flavor but I had a hard time finishing mine. I gave some to my office mates and they actually liked it. Oh well, I guess it depends on one's preference.</span><br />

One of my bosses described 4 Fingers Chicken as "BonChon, only better."<br />
<br />
I like BonChon chicken -- and upon hearing that from my boss, I made sure I visit the place. I went to their branch at SM Mall of Asia.<br />

The first thing I noticed was the graffiti wall:<br />

We waited a good 15 minutes for the chicken.<br />

<br />
It was worth the wait. I love the crunchiness of the outside. I was wary that the flesh might be bland and undercooked. Thankfully, it wasn't.<br />
<br />
I ordered garlic soy and E ordered the spicy one. The latter wasn't spicy enough in my opinion.<br />

The trip would cost $17-$20 USD and will take 15 hours travel time. For our group, we decided to stay for at least a night in Phnom Penh before going to SR. It was a very brief tour and meant one less day of stay in SR, but I would say it was worth the detour.</span><br />

Part 1 of a series.<br />
<br />
Exactly a week and 2 years ago, Calaguas and I met for the first time. It was love at first sight. This year, I'm with a different set of folks, and instead of doing a DIY backpacking trip, we bought ByaheAdventours Lakwatserong Kusinero's (LK) travel package.<br />
<br />
The package cost us <u>Php 3,500</u> each. inclusive of <i>stuff-i'll-write-about-in-another-entry</i>. Basically, it's the type of backpacking package where you only need to bring clothes and personal hygiene items. You can call it a <i>backpacking fail </i>in a good way--or not, depending on how adventurous you are.<br />
<br />
From the Philtranco Cubao bus station, our bus left at 9pm for Daet, Camarines Norte. The trip took around 9-hours. I slept for most of the entire ride.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<i><b>Tip: Try to sleep during the earlier part of the bus ride because towards the end, when you're nearer Daet, you'll pass by a 2-hour long crazy zigzag road that can make it impossible for anyone to sleep.</b></i><br />
<br />
At around 6am, the bus dropped us off at a breakfast place whose name I can't remember. Even in the pictures I have, the diner didn't have a visible signboard except for a LK ByaheAdventours poster.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px;">Breakfast Place: <i>Kubo</i> at the back of the jeepney.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I guess it's one of ByaheAdventTours' headquarters. They served eat-all-you can breakfast that cost each of us 100 php. There were fried rice, hotdog, <i>daing na pusit</i>, <i>dilis</i>, egg omelet, fried <i>maling</i> meat loaf, <i>pan de sal, </i>bananas, and instant coffee.<br />
<br />
The star of the meal was <i>dilis. </i>They served the tastiest <i>dilis</i> I've ever tasted in my life. It's boneless and is sliced in the middle. If I it were up to me, I'd name it: <i><u>Freshly Cooked Dilis Chips</u>.</i> I can see myself snacking on those <i>dilis</i> all day. Too bad I wasn't able to take a photo.<br />
<br />
After breakfast, we headed to Vinzons Port to ride a boat that will take us to Mahabang Buhangin Beach (in one of Calaguas group of islands). But for purposes of this series, let's just call it Calaguas.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 13px;">The stream was too shallow (low tide),<br />
Mr. Boat Man had to push our way through with a stick.</td></tr>

<br />
<i><b>The boat ride takes about 2 hours. You'll ride an open boat with a makeshift shade. You'll likely be riding in the morning. <u>Sit on the left side of the boat so you don't get that much sun exposure.</u></b></i><br />
<br />
<br />
Before the boat reached the ocean, we were welcomed by an estimated 15-minute long stream lined by a marsh. It's so majestic-looking.<br />
<br />

The stream takes around 15 minutes to traverse, after that is already the wide ocean :D<br />
<br />
We were lucky that the waves weren't big. When I went there 2 years ago, water splashed on me several times during the ride.<br />

<b><i>Tip: You won't be able to access your stuff while on the ride. All bags will be placed in a compartment inside the boat where the motor is.

I remember the first time I saw the island from afar. I was already feeling the tired-ness from the land trip and the boat ride. At this point, all my expectations and excitement are out the window. All I wanted to do was to get to the shore, lie down, and rest. I already set myself that I will enjoy the beach no matter what it looks like.<br />
<br />
<br />
And I'm only too glad it's as beautiful as this:<br />

<br />
All the exhaustion--gone. Just like that. The effort and travel time was worth it.<br />
<br />
It's the most beautiful beach I have ever seen.<br />
<br />
It's as beautiful in person as it is in the photo. All I was able to mutter was: <b>Ang sarap mabuhay.*</b><br />

<ol>
<li><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">All photos, except for the last one were taken by Eric Joseph Avena.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-size: x-small;">The last photo was actually taken 2 years ago by <a href="http://thepaoloproject.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Paolo</a>, when we were literally, only 13 on the island. This year, there's more than a hundred people. It can get difficult to take a photo like this.</span></i></li>
<li><i><span style="font-size: x-small;"><b>*Ang sarap mabuhay</b>, can be translated to <b>"It's good to be alive"</b>, but there's something more passionate about the phrase when you say it in Tagalog.</span></i></li>

I am really drawn to them and they're one of the first things I notice when I go to a place for the first time.<br />
<br />
<i>Hindi kaya alitaptap ako sa past life ko?</i><br />
<br />
The photo below is a lighting fixture at Krispy Kreme Glorietta. It resembles a beehive and looks way better in person. That got me into reading articles about taking photos of <i>light.</i><br />

<br />
This one was taken at Landmark Makati's shoe section. I got overwhelmed by how big the chandelier is and how many they are. I guess around 10 of these are spread across the ceiling of the whole wing.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A Happy Lemon branch recently opened at SM Mall of Asia.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It didn't catch my attention at first because I thought it's probably another milk tea shop, and I wasn't really that fond of milk tea.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last week though, I was feeling a little bit under the weather and I thought maybe trying out something I haven't tried before can jolt me into motivation.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I swear I was going to buy milk tea just to mix things up. But when I saw coffee on the menu -- it just felt so wrong to order something else. Coffee trumps tea every time!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My eyes caught <i>grapefruit black coffee</i> first but when I placed my order, the cashier looked at me like I lost my mind. I didn't want a bad first experience at Happy Lemon so I just asked her what coffee drink she would recommend instead.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Without batting an eyelash, she pointed to a photo of <i>Coffee with Rock Salt and Cheese</i> -- that was my cue to give her the have-you-lost-your-mind look. She told me it was their best seller so who am I to argue with the rest of the folks who like it.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h1ujiqOcmco/UWm-Gh7eOeI/AAAAAAAABvE/zVLt2vbcTNw/s1600/happy-lemon-cheese-coffee-rocksalt-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h1ujiqOcmco/UWm-Gh7eOeI/AAAAAAAABvE/zVLt2vbcTNw/s400/happy-lemon-cheese-coffee-rocksalt-1.jpg" width="266" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And boy was I glad I listened to her. I never knew how great coffee, cheese, and rock salt go well together.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JwrUMZR0iJ0/UWnB3H2ReJI/AAAAAAAABvQ/4mMnDNNK4FI/s1600/happy-lemon-coffee-cheese-and-rock-salt-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JwrUMZR0iJ0/UWnB3H2ReJI/AAAAAAAABvQ/4mMnDNNK4FI/s400/happy-lemon-coffee-cheese-and-rock-salt-2.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's supposed to be drank without a straw so you can get the perfect mix of coffee, cheese, and salt with each sip.</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I usually have my coffee black, which means no cream or sugar so I was happy that they had the option to reduce the sugar by up to 50%. I never thought I'd enjoy sassy coffee again. Next time, I promise I'll try their grapefruit coffee.</span></div>

Coffee dates have been one of Eric's and my time with each other and talk or sit quietly and do each of our stuff.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Here's where we last went:</b></span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Starbucks 6750</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We don't often go here. So it was quite a surprise to see how nice pretty the interiors were. Not your ordinary Starbucks. It's a 2-level coffee shop with lighting fixtures that stretch from the ceiling of the 2nd floor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's one irregularly shaped group table in the middle that adds a very pretty touch to the whole store.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the way up is a wall printed with the map of the Philippines made of letters making up places where, I presume, Starbucks coffee shops are. I don't often see Starbucks coffee shops with a Philippine touch to them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you're inspired by beautiful architecture and design, pay a visit.</span><br />

Anawangin Cove is located in the province of Zambales, facing South China Sea. It can be reached via half an hour boat ride from San Antonio, Zambalez or via a four to six hours trek of Mt. Pundaquit.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was mid-summer so I think the weather was not ideal for trekking. There was not much cloud and all the supposedly river were parched. Better be prepared and bring sufficient potable water on your way to Anawangin.</span></div>

I think SM MOA has been making themed decorations every season now. Early last month they put up cute Chinese New Year stuff at the atrium.</span><br />

I didn't know there were cherry blossoms in China, I had to google it to find out. It turns out the cherry blossoms symbolizes women's strength, think: Mulan.</span><br />

In China, status and gender was associated to specific types of fans. Only I don't know to which these fans are associated with.</span><br />

The chinese seem to be big on status symbol. Another evidence of this is the chinese lantern. The covering used to provide protection for the flame. Eventually the way the lanterns were designed became a mark of identification. A particular design can be identified to a specific dynasty.</span><br />

Hindi ko alam kay E, pero sa totoo lang, hindi ako curious sa kung masarap ba ang pagkain, gusto ko lang masubukan kumain kasi maganda yung lighting fixtures.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Chinese food ang sineserve ng Lugang Cafe at mabilis naman ang service nila, pag pasok namin, may nag-usher agad and kumuha ng order.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After kuhain nung waiter yung order namin, nagulat ako nung iniwan nya ito:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Akala ko nung una, naiwan nya yung order slip, yun pala intentional yun. Everytime may mapapadaan na waiter sa lamesa namin, tinitignan nila tong slip at chinecheck kung nabigay na ba lahat ng pagkain sa listahan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Recently, mahilig sumubok si E ng mga kakaibang pagkain, kaya ako naman, ino-order ko yung mga "safe" tulad nitong Salt and Pepper Squid just in case sablay ang adventurous order nya.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Maybe the owners were also thought by their grandparents that flowers have feelings and looks happier with roots, and so thought of making their own edible flowers. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">This dish has a very funny side story. Earlier that week, I craved for adobong pusit. For that week alone, I managed to eat adobong pusit three times, in different varieties. I think my officemates ordered this to make fun of me, or maybe they're doing me a favor because they thought my craving can't be satiated. The squid was cooked with the ink, which turned everything black, including my officemates' lips, teeth and tongue. Then I started making fun of them so we're quits. :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',sans-serif;">This, I ordered by mistake because I was thinking of the meaty <i>Luzon-version</i> bicol express. That's what you get for not reading the menu carefully. It wasn't that bad really, tastes like the bicol express I'm used to minus the meat. But I did miss the meat. I just didn't know that <i>that's</i> what authentic Bicol Express is. Good thing we ordered this next one... </span><br />

<br />
It turned out as a good choice because J.CO was giving away free glazzy donut for every cup of any J coffee. Yehey!<br />

They say that can never claim that you've been to Tagaytay unless you've had Bulalo at Leslie's. I'm not crazy for Bulalo and I think Leslie's bulalo is 'ok'. Unfortunately,I found the broth salty. But a friend said that the Bulalo they served that day is was not their usual.<br />
<br />
I loved their brewed Amadeo coffee though. Whenever I eat some place new, I always try their brewed coffee (if they serve one).</div>

<u><b>Don't Stay at The Oh so Bulok Inn</b></u></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I seldom stay overnight at Tagaytay. In fact, I never do, this is the first time. My friends booked a hotel at The Overlook Inn. But I'd rather call it the <b>Oh! Bulok Inn</b>.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A tip: When you book a hotel through Agoda, still confirm with the hotel even if Agoda said it's already booked. Also, don't stay at Room 5.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Walang multo, pero may lamok. There's no table to put your over night bag on. Walang wall socket, walang mirror ang CR, walang cable ang 12-inch CRT TV. And their complimentary breakfast is pork and beans, sunny side up egg, a slice of low quality loaf bread, and 2 not so juicy hotdogs.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

The brighter side was, I had roof over my head and I was able to see this view from the veranda.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those reasons, I remain thankful.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't have a sophisticated palate nor a sophisticated brain so I will describe the burger steak as parang Jollibee burger steak na may after taste ng mushroom. Not bad. Try mo lang, for the experience. They also serve fries. I wonder nga kung may mushroom din ba yung fries.<br />

If you haven't been to Tagaytay, go na sa Picnic Grove. Di ako mahilig magpicnic kaya sandali ko lang gusto mag-stay dito, ang inet kasi and medyo kuripot-mode ako, I don't want to rent a cottage.</div>

You can also do horseback riding, bicycling, or ride(?) the zipline.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Gusto ko sana i-try yung zipline but it was already 2pm when we arrived (inet!) at the site and it was too expensive for me at Php 600/head. Try ko na lang sa Davao, kase mas mahaba daw zipline dun.</div>

<li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Visit Ilog Maria.</b> I didn't get to do this :( Gusto ko sana mag-hoard ng sobrang daming organic stuff from them.

A few days ago, Eric and I went to Krispy Kreme for coffee. I was particularly sad that day so instead of ordering my usual, I got mocha instead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The barista asked if I wanted whipped cream to go with it, I said no. I don't like whipped cream. When I eat whipped cream I feel like I'm eating air.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I was surprised when they served me my coffee, coz it looked like this:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It had a heart on it! How cute!!! It looks a little bit lopsided, but who cares?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Eric's was cuter, because his had a pig on it.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know which other coffee drinks are served with coffee art on it. But next time I go to Krispy Kreme, I'll try ordering mocha without whipped cream again. Try it too! Let's see what they'll draw on your cup.</div>

<em>planner wannabes</em>. We always “<em>plan</em>” for our next food trip but we were never
ever successful. It usually is the unplanned dinners that work for us both. It
was one Friday when I just thought of asking her to meet me for dinner that
same night. Surprisingly, we both didn’t have plans! And so we had dinner
together, finally! Hallelujah!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We went to <strong>Food Choices</strong> in <strong>Glorietta</strong> and tried out <strong>Go Greek!</strong>
It is another food discovery since it was my first time to try Greek food. The
concept was go fresh, go fast, go healthy, the Greek style. We ordered…</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Mix Meat Gyro Platter with rice (Php235)</strong>. Gyro looks like
the Greek version of the famous Shawarma. When ordered in a platter, it is
served with side salad and pita bread. Customers can choose between rice and
baked potatoes to go with their gyro. Since I’m a rice eater and its dinner
time, I naturally chose rice. Big mistake! The rice plus the pita bread was a
little too much for me. I wished I chose the baked potatoes over rice.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We were given two dressings, yogurt and hot sauce, although
we were not quite sure where to use it. We ended up putting it on everything where
it tastes good. :D</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Chicken Kebab Platter with fried potatoes (Php205)</strong>. This is
grilled chicken skewers served with side salad. Rae chose the baked potatoes
over rice. I never had the chance to taste it but I think Rae very much liked her
kebab since she emptied her plate. Hehehe.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was curious with the lamb meat but Rae advised me
otherwise. I trusted Rae with this one since she’s more “</span><em style="font-family: Calibri;">experienced</em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">” that me
when it comes to adventure food. (</span><em style="font-family: Calibri;">When I researched the net, it seems Rae is right
in a way. Lamb meat, it seems, is not for everyone’s stomach.</em><span style="font-family: Calibri;">)</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After eating and window shopping, we went to Krispy Kreme in
RCBC Ayala. What better way to end the day than to drink coffee with a friend.
Yipee!!!</span><br />
