How to go to Laoag without your own damn car
It’s pretty easy. Book a flight to Laoag that is usually has flights at the afternoon. Spend a night in Laoag, and by the next day, ride a 2-hour bus ride to Pagudpud. Nah Just kidding. Before going to Ilocos Norte make sure that:: Book an overnight stay in Northview Hotel, the rooms are ok, [...]
San Antonio Island, Northern Samar
San Antonio Island is nested between the small islands of Samar lies the municipality of San Antonio. Mostly frequented by local tourists, this island municipality is dotted with resorts that are pleasingly not ruined by the onslaught of tourists during peak seasons. To go to San Antonio, one must take a 45-minute trip by land [...]
Laoag, Ilocos Norte: Saramsam Cafe
OKAY. I know, this is a bit late. pero eto na. While touring Laoag last early summer, I made a mental note to eat at Saramsam Cafe. Probably seen mostly in blogs and frequented by local tourists, Saramsam Cafe serves a kind of Ilocano Fare that is very presentable to those who are new to [...]
Northern Samar: Food Trip
1st Stop: Steamed Mudcrabs for Breakfast. This is way too much for a local and native breakfast here in the province. Alongside with these royalties are homemade hot chocolates, smoked fish and fried rice, accompanied with tomatoes and salted eggs as condiments. This meal was so good, I didn’t care to pay attention to my [...]
Dankalan Beach, Northern Samar
Ah. The beach. Went here just after typhoon Basyang hit Manila and knocking our power sources out. Later that week, our clan managed to surf all the way where most storms first land in the Philippines: Samar Island. This pristine virgin beauty is my idea of a beach. Nobody is there except for our group, [...]
Catbalogan: Of 2 seater tricycles and Caving Adventures
I’ve been to numerous far-flung provinces and I knew exactly what is common with them – townsfolks with no eyebags. As though this town looks another rural place in the Philippines, I think I should look again. Joni Bonifacio: This guy on the right, apparently my uncle (both are my uncles btw) , is quite [...]
Quezon Treats: Pilipit
It’s been almost a month since my recent trip to the province. And needless to say, it marked the end of my summer, err everybody’s summer. But it doesn’t mean its also the last of my foodie adventures. These squid-looking munchies are made with squash, deep-fried ala banana que and served as a dessert. However, [...]
Heavyweight: Batangas Lomi
On my last trip to batangas, I recalled a specialty of batangas aside from the renowned bulalo. The LOMI. Mom used to tell me stories about it, on how she would stuff herself of this lomi before going to manila. It was so heavy one wouldn’t eat until the next day. Practically ridden with cornstarch, [...]
Balai sa Laiya – the food
Oh brother. I really don’t know where to start on this one. Laiya on the most part is known for the serene beaches and ultimate getaway. But a vacation without great food isn’t really my idea of a vacation There were so many resorts on this great sunny stretch. on the upside, all of them [...]
Why Beef Mami shouldn’t really be called ‘Beef Mami’
In one of my foodtrips, I have been to Ma Mon Luk, in Quiapo. traversing the hot and humid manila streets , I saw the old and quaint noodle house that is more popularly known with older folks. Boy the smell from ma mon luk was awesome. dead awesome. I smirked at the possibility that [...]
