Food Tripping: Sit and Zip Imus

Sit and Zip is a cafe in Imus. It is on a rooftop of GRS Building near S&R Imus. It is cozy and the food is great. There are 3 parts to this place. Outdoor, Air-con area and an area for grilling as they also have unli samgyeopsal.

We stayed at the Air-con area that looks like a park with wood seatings. There are plastic plants and zabuton for you to seat on. There tables that can accommodate 4 to 6 people.

This was the first time my sister and I visited this place. There is a branch closer to SM Bacoor but I want to see the original cafe. We opt to taste 2 drinks, pasta, and a sandwich.

Chocolate Frappe

Cookie and Cream Overload

I love the drinks. It is big, good choice if you are there with friends and have plans on catching up. Their meaty spaghetti and carbonara were good for sharing too. It was a good pair with the clubhouse sandwich.

Serving time is around 10 to 15 minutes. We stayed from 4pm to 6pm and it was great. There was not crowded that day which was good.

Below are the photos of their menu. This may have changed as this was taken on December 2, 2019.

Check out their Facebook page and IG account.  They are open from 12pm to 12am, every day.

Review: The YARD, Centennial Road, Cavite

This is a newly opened food park in Cavite. We went there last Monday, as I did not have work. There are I think around 30 plus stores in it. Giving you and your friends or family options.

This place has you covered from appetizers to dessert. Sherome and I were suppose to meet up with my college friends. The set time was 4pm but they were late. So we when ahead and bought food from Transporkmer.

When the other got there, they order ribs, Shawarma, fries and takoyaki. It was great! To be honest it was kinda pricey but hey you only get to see college friends on such occasions. I got dessert from a store called Ice Cream Lab. It was called death by chocolate.

Food Tripping: Secret Haven Cafe

This is my second time here! Finally get to blog about it. So this place is already internet famous. Secret Haven Cafe in Noveleta, Cavite is a place where you can dine as if you are at your own home.

They open at 11 am it is best to be there before anyone else if you want to take photos and enjoy the peace and quiet. Their garden is filled with cactuses and succulents. It also has a rustic and sweet at the same time.

You found Klea

Let's get to the food. The first time I visited this place, I have ordered their version of butterbeer and clubhouse sandwich. It's called Prague Castle in their menu. If I remember it correctly.

My date for the date

This time I got to try their plates of pasta. I forgot to write down the names, but one as in red sauce and the other in white. I also got one of their best selling drink, mint iced tea.

So sorry for forgetting the names of the things we ordered. This blog is so late really. It was an awesome afternoon date at this place. I would definitely go back to try the other items on their menu. I have heard good things about the milkshakes that they have. 

For now, I'm glad to finally know about this secret! :)

Back Ride Diaries:Ternate-Nasugbu (Kaybiang) Tunnel

This was one of the highlights of 2015. Still a back ride but it was awesome! We started early, the group met up at Mcdonald's Pala-Pala. Then we picked up two other riders along the way, I'm not sure where it was exactly. I did not track the progress of the ride, so forget me about giving estimates.

From there, we traveled straight to Naic, Cavite, then to passed by Ternate, Cavite. Ternate is known to have beautiful beaches and there is a bridge where you will be able to see where the waters of the Maragondon River and Manila Bay meet:

Maragondon Bridge

After this, I saw the entrance to Puerto Azul. I did not think that I will see it again as it has been a long time since I was there with relatives during the 90's. The next stop was the Marine Base, we did not take photos there, though. We continued the ride up to a dead end, that seems to be one of the entrances to Caylabne Hotel. Here are some photos:

Behind us is a view of the Marine Base

There are monkeys in the area.

It was almost lunch time when we got to the Kaybiang Tunnel. It was opened to the public in 2013, at 300 meters it is the longest underground highway in the country. It connects Ternate and Batangas. It is popular to riders and cyclists. Checkout this video just excuse me for being amuse by this. XD

Here are more photos:

You will find this place on the Batangas side You can eat your packed food here for free.
They also sell drinks and snacks

The one behind the counter, she's the owner of this place.

 The next thing we did was to ride from Kaybiang to Tagaytay! There is not much to see after this. This trip just made me realize that Batangas is huge! I did not even feel like I have been to one of the roads we use for this trip and I have been to Batangas I think twice by then. There are so many roads you can take.

Food Tripping: Small Spaces (Food Stalls and Trucks)

It is a restaurant with many choices, this is how a food court is described in a joke. It is weird to be having a date there but it’s the company your are with that matters. We have been going to places that are small and yet worth it.

1. Panda Shabu Shabu

We tried the one in SM Megamall food court, not sure if there are others out there XD

It’s pretty awesome that you can get hot pot for less than Php 200. It comes with a cup of rice and if you’re not a big eater you can share one pot with a friend. 

Mixed Pot

2. Rex’ Burger

Located in BF Resort, Las Piñas. This is one burger joint any burger lover must try. Their price range is from  Php 65 (minion) to Php 700 (T-Rex) . I know you are asking what is minion and T-rex; those are the size of the burger. If there was a let down about this place is the fries as we upgraded to large but the fries serving did not feel like it was a large. XD

3. Aguirre Food Park

This place just started last July and is located in BF Parañaque. It’s a vacant lot that has 9 - 10 Food Vendors, some of them are Food Trucks. We tried food from Cheese Steak Stop and Bread Lounge. I was tempted to try something from Truck Bun, I was so curious about the Crispy Adobo Flakes with Kesong Puti. However, steak and pizza was too much for one night XD.

4. Sigsig sa Rada

I’m not picky with the food I eat as long as it is awesome. Sigsig sa Rada is one of those gems in the city of Makati. Sold a JollyJeep in Rada Street. The place is already famous to workers around the area so if you plan to eat there make sure it is not Lunch time, or call in advance.

Sigsig!!!

4. McDards

Looking for something close to Cavite? Then, try McDards! Located in a residential area, near the General Trias, Municipal Hall. They serve -silog. What's their best seller? Chicharong Bulaklak. Gosh, this is making me want to go there now. The place, is really homey, what do you expect from a home that was converted to a eatery? XD

here is a map for you 

I got myself a combo. Tapsilog with Chicharong Bulaklak

This is random, just like me! XD
