I ♥ Kinabuch's Bar Palawan 06/06/12

 
It’s our first night in Palawan and we don’t want to eat dinner in a fast food serve. We wanted to dine in a special restaurant so we can be a little bit touristy. One friend suggested to try dining in Kinabuchs Bar and Grill restaurant.
   
Kinabuchs is a highly recommended places to dine in Puerto Princesa.She read a lot of good reviews and it is a must try in Palawan. Its like going to Hard Rock Cafe which is a popular place for foreigners and locals. 
 



 Kinabuchs Bar and Grill is 
in 348 Rizal Avenue, Puerto Princesa City. Our hotel is just in the area so we tried to walk but the place is too far so we've decided to ride a tricylcle instead.

 It a clear June night skies, a gentle calming breeze, a wide- open space that didn't feel crowded even though it was full, and a wide screen projector welcome us. 

There are a lot of foreigners and locals and we are so sure that we’ll definitely enjoy dining here.   It was really hard to look for a vacant seat outside because a lot of tables were reserved that night, fortunately we found a seat next to the bar and after seating there for a minute we really feel relaxed because of the ambiance.
 There was no band playing that time but I always enjoyed eating outside. What I love the most is the service of their staff it is very efficient and fast it really seems that there is a system in place. 
The menu is extensive, and the seafood (grilled or fried), pork items and the soups appear to be the favorites. They also serve Tamilok which is a mangrove mollusks that looks like a worm. It's a popular delicacy here in Palawan. I don't have the guts to try it because I don't want to ruin our trip with an upset stomach, so we just tried the uber famous Crocodile Sisig. Crocodile sisig is quite a challenging dish. It taste like longganisa but really good though.

 
We had Sinigang na Hipon and Mixed Shanghai Rice. Their dishes are good for 2-3 people and is very cheap. They really have big servings so don't get too excited when ordering. There is nothing special in the food maybe a bit bland. I think the area is good for friends to chat along and drink some beer. Kinabuchs is definitely worth a visit, preferably for dinner, to experience the atmosphere as well as the food while visiting Puerto Princesa.

I ♥ PMA BAguio City 12/12/2010

Image
Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Baguio was the first tourist spot I visited in this humble city. I went there last 2008 with my college friends and I really enjoyed our short stay there. There is no restriction in visiting the area. However, due to its gaining popularity they implemented policies that may annoy some first time travelers.  All visitors entering PMA must have individual valid IDs. A person without a valid ID can't enter PMA. If you're in a group and you don't have ID, you will be instructed to get off the jeepney at the gate and wait for your companions with IDs while they're enjoying the tour. Also, wearing slippers is a big no-no when you wanted to enter its premises. Even though you are wearing your expensive flip-flops the security personnel won't show any mercy and you may be force to await your companion at the gate. They promote wearing shoes because people who wanted to visit the area shou...

I ♥ Puting Buhangin Pagbilao - Quezon (2012) - 09/29/2012

Image
I always pray for good weather when planning an out-of-town trip, as a typhoon can easily disrupt carefully planned travels. Fortunately, when we visited Puting Buhangin in Pagbilao, Quezon, the weather remained clear. I had been longing to visit this place since last year, but unforeseen circumstances always led to cancellations. Growing up in Quezon province, I felt a deep connection to this destination and wanted to appreciate the beauty of my hometown.   Initially, I had planned a solo backpacking trip and shared my travel plans online out of excitement. That's when I received a message from Mac, who expressed curiosity about my travels. I proposed the idea of going together to Puting Buhangin to cut down on expenses. Without hesitation, Mac agreed to join me on this adventure.   On the day of the tour, heavy rain poured down, making me fear that the trip would once again be cancelled. I reached out to Mac via SMS to confirm if he still wanted to go. If he had changed his...

I ♥ Pundaquit Zambales 03/27/2011

Image
Pundaquit Beach Zambales Pundaquit, or Pandakit is in San Antonio Zambales, a small fishing village on an attractive bay with a long white sand beach. It is a small barrio next to a glorious South China Sea and surrounded by paramount mountains. It is home to many fishermen as several boats lined their beach. The sun was glaring as I tried to take in the striking surroundings. The beach was very clean, unlike some of Subic's beaches I visited before.   I was really confused if Cove and Island is the same but according to my research A cove is a small type of bay or coastal inlet. Coves usually have narrow, restricted entrances, are often circular or oval, and are often situated within a larger bay. So definitely, we are not going to ride a boat just to get there.  It took us four hour of bumpy ride to finally reach Subic Olongapo and another hour to get to San Antonio Zambales with just 2 hours of slow traffic and the difference is our total travel time. We don't...
