Summer in November Pt. 6

food trip galore alla ms. lamon

we originally planned to eat at cyma for dinner on our first night in boracay, but the restaurant was already full by the time we went there (we made a reservation for the next night but still we didn't get to eat there but that's ok). so we went over to true food indian cuisine. since this is our first night, we were already tired by this time. the big fluffy cushions we sat on in true food just about made our stay there oh-so-fine. and the food? it's a bit pricey (about 200 pesos up) but if you're adventurous enough in trying out different types of cuisine, then you'll love this place. sorry there ain't enough pics for this as we were all too busy eating (did i say we were very hungry?) to take pictures.

sweetened lassie at true food indian cuisine. lassie is a really nice drink made from yogurt and can be drank plain, sweetened or even salted. they also offer variations with fruits, but i think if i ordered that it might taste like the commercial yogurt drink.

pat's creek. i was so sleepy by this time (about11pm) but since my bro and cousins were there already, i opted to go too. had only one piece each of the calamares and onion rings and a sip of san mig light from my bro's cup... then the singer's voice woke me up from my lethargic state.

this is rush, a huge lab-golden retriever mix in the restaurant we ate in at d' talipapa. of course we did NOT eat him. he is the pet of the owner according to my bro. isn't he cute? anyway, we bought fish, shrimp and chicken at the wet market and had them cooked over at this resto (just like dampa in parañaque and pasay)and i was more interested in looking at this dog. but hey, the food we had--sauteed ampalaya with egg, sinigang na talakitok, garlic and butter shrimp and adobong atay ng manok--yummeh!


jonah's fruitshake and restaurant. i've heard so many praises about this place so i just had to try it. yep, it's really nice to be sipping a big cold glass of thick, creamy milkshake while stretched out on the beach chairs and tune out the sounds except for the waves, night or day. the milkshakes cost from around 60 pesos up. i ordered banana choco peanut shake (P75)

mañana. this is where we ate on our second night in boracay. we ordered different items and had a taste of everything--nachos, burritos, tacos, enchiladas, fajitas and flautas. i love the side of mexican rice which is quite small, but it's good enough for moi. everything is soooo dee-lee-shus!

mañana restaurant in the daytime. what a happy, happy day, just look at that cloudless sky! me likey!

for our last meal in boracay, we ate in lemon cafe, a restaurant in d'mall where they serve mediterranean food. but since we had to leave early, we opted for brunch and ordered from their breakfast menu. cuz O and i had the big breakfast (which as a really big serving... duh!) which consists of potatoes, bacon, egg sunny side up, sausages and very yummy warm bread which i slathered in butter *drool, drool!* the rest ordered pinoy tapa. i must say, their tapa is one of the best i've tasted. not only has it a really big serving too, but also the meat is very juicy and tender, the flavor is salty-sweet and dip a piece of that in vinegar, ahh, heaven. :-) cuz M couldn't finish hers so i got the last piece and put it in the remaining roll from my breakfast, and had that as my baon on the way back to roxas. :-P

note: the restos mentioned here are all located on the beach front (except for d'talipapa), hence, they are quite pricey for a cheapskate like moi hehehe (think greenbelt, eastwood, and their ilk). but ya know what's the best thing about this food trip? having guy cuzes who get the bills! LOL

well of course not all of them bills but still...

thanks guys! =)

  3. Some of my friends who are into diving and who've been to Bora more than 20 years ago were lamenting on the commercialization of the place. Back then, they say, there were very few places with electricity and very rustic daw talaga yung place. Baka lalong mag-commercialize na yung place di pa ako maka-tapak sa Boracay, huhuhu. :-D

    Anyways, sarap talaga kumain pag sa tabing dagat noh? Epsecially if the seafoods are freshly caught... :-D

  7. lawstude: yup, it's always nice to pay for great food kahit gano pa sya kamahal. =D

    pusa: galing nga nung mga singers sa pat's creek. nagpapalit din sila ng performers na ok din. =) di ko napuntahan yung escondido eh sayang. =)

    snglguy: korek ka jan. yung relatives ko from roxas madalas pumunta jan since the 70's (as far as i can remember) at nakita nila ang commercialization nya. kaya nga pumunta ka na! dali!!! =)

  8. sidney: yup it is, and what a memorable one that was. =)

    kyels: and that is my point. LOL =D hehehe anyway yep it tastes good, and not as sweet as i expected. i just had to stir it to mix the banana with the choco coz the banana settled at the bottom of the glass. =)

    krisjasper: waaa saan yun? wala akong nakitang ganun sa mga menu... or baka obsessed lang ako sa tubig kaya di ko nakita hahaha =)

    nosotros mismas: good night too =) too bad i cannot understand spanish, your blog looks nice =)

  11. That was one heck of a food trip. Sa mga sinabimo and nakainan ko lang yata dyan eh yung Cyma, sana pagbalik nyo makakain kayo. Pero if ever na bumisita ulit ako dyan, I'll surely check out those places especially yung indian resto and Pat's Creek

  23. rochelle: hehe i'm glad you think so =) yup that drink is so good, i forgot to mention that not only it's served plain, sweetened or salted, but it also has a spicy version which the server discouraged me to order as it's REALLY spicy. =)
