Food Tripping: Bacolod Eats

Breakfast, lunch, Dinner and Dessert

If you are thinking that Chicken Inasal is the only thing you can eat in Bacolod. Then, you are wrong! You have so many options, that you won't have time to eat at any fastfood restos! Let's start with breakfast at Bagels by ELG.

The menus and the breakfast Buddy

We were the first customers of the day

Desserts

Cheese Bagel

Located at the ground floor of O Residences Condominium Lacson st. Mandalagan. This small shop makes their bagels in-store. There are a variety of bagels and schmears you can chose from. You can get your sweet fix here too. I was not able to explore the menu too much as we were pressed on time. However, I will definitely visit this place again, if I go back to Bacolod. The price is pretty cheap but the quality is awesome! Up Next, Lord Byron's Backribs Bacolod.

One big backrib

This can be your lunch or dinner place it is up to you. Just be ready for the serving they have! We dined at their Riverside's branch. We got there at around 12:30 pm it was not crowded or maybe because it was a weekday. We all orders the Original Backribs with garlic rice and atchara for only Php 159. Can you see how big that backrib is? This one was worth the travel from Campuestohan!
I know what you are thinking, where can you eat for an afternoon snack? Pizza Republic has you covered!

This place feels like a factory! An awesome factory of pizza! You can make you own pizza here just like in Project Pie. They do not have a menu, just posters on a wall, which I forgot to take photos of. We orders a 10" Champignon pizza, one regular and one spicy roasted chicken. I don't remember for I don't think it when pass Php 500.

Champignon Pizza

Spicy thigh and regular breast roasted chicken

The pizza was great! As for the chicken I think is was okay. Service was okay as well. They place was pretty empty when we got there around 2pm. The location of this place is great, you can move to restaurant if you want too. Beside it was Tres, according to their FB page, they serve contemporary dishes inspired by Spanish and American family cuisine. At the back you have Orange Karenderia and somewhere within the compound is The Trap Door Illusion Brewery Pub. You may have to look of the entrance for The Trap door, don't worry is is in plain sight.

What is for dessert? Gelato from Pizza republic. For this one, at Php 145, I think is okay, I did not feel the mint so much though. What I like about it is that is it not so sweet, the chocolate swirl did a great job in adding texture to this gelato! If you are not in to gelatos, there are cake shop that will surely get your attention, like Calea, Felicia's Pastry and Cafe Bob's to name a few.


Have you been to some of this places? How was it?

Silventures: Puerto Galera 2015

Yes, this is super late! I honestly though I have made a blog about this last year.

This trip was organized by the birthday girls Aya and Bell. They when to Singapore this year, did not have enough for that one. Maybe in the next adventure, I can join again. :)


Last year, today POS was in White Beach, Puerto Galera!

Warning: This is not a guide but just a recollection of how we got there.


We rode a bus from Cubao to Batangas Port. Travel time was about 2 hours or so, the fare was 175 Php. Make sure that you have an idea of what ferry to ride to Mindoro. Our hotel gave our names to a ferry service they preferred, which was Minolo Shipping Lines. Once you are at the Port of Batangas and you have the name of your ferry, as much as possible, don't talk to anyone even if they say that they are a porter from the same ferry company. Having your things carried for you will entail an extra cost. The fare from the port to White Beach is 175 one way and 250 for round trip tickets.

After alighting from the ferry, There was free shutter to your hotel. We stayed at Rem's Virgin Island Hotel. I like that place it was a few minutes walk to the beach front, which was perfect coz it was noisy at the beach front at night. Also, the room for 6 people is big enough for more than 6 people. One of the rooms we rented as a kitchen sink and cabinets.

Things to do while you are in Puerto Galera:

1. Enjoy the beach

It is the main reason why you are in Puerto after all! There is more that one beach you can visit. Go island hopping for more awesome views!

2. Watch people dance with fire

On our first night, we decided to take a walk along the shoreline. There were so many establishments there and each as their own way to get the attentions of the tourist. We even show one bar with pole dancers.

3. Look for crabs at night

Once you passed the shops you will be able to enjoy some quite time. It was dark, though, so make sure that you bring a flashlight if you want to look for some shells, stones, and random crabs!

4. Feed fishes

Aside from hopping between 3 island, you get to feed schools of fishes.

5. Enjoy good Pizza

Awesome food is awesome! I want more! These pizzas were bought from Arcobaleno Pizzeria. If you are going to the port for island hopping, you won't miss it. Also, it is recommended by the locals.

6. Enjoy the company of crazy people

Hey! As much as I want to travel solo! It is still more fun with friends!

Happy Anniversary to this awesome trip!

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
