Year ender -FOOD TRIPS

FOOD TRIPS

Trips and food really mix. Sometimes you go on a food trip in trips or just simply have a trip for food. In any case I had a lot of trips and obviously food in 2008 and I would just like to refresh the ones that I enjoyed the most.

MY TOP 3 FAVORITE TRIPS

MACAU

Save for the time when we brought one of our officemates to the hospital, my trip to Macau was quite a blast. The hotel was great, the restaurants we went to and the food were great. Have you tried their authentic Peaking Peking Duck? Yup it was good but the duck was not peaking. During the second day of our stay our bosses arrived from manila and we ordered I think around 20 plates of food considering there were only 7 of us on the table. The cook thought there were lots of guests only to see that we were the only ones eating.

At the same time, Macau is just a small place but have lots of great hotels. In a nutshell if you are looking for a place to gamble, tour for one day or just look for girls, Macau is the place for you.

DEL MONTE FARM IN BUKIDNON

Up till now I still talk about my trip to the delmonte farm in Bukidnon. The 20,000 hectares of land that they planted lots of pineapples. Well the experience of going around the place was such a great one let alone getting to eat the food there. The team building we had was such a great experience which led the people to go around the various points of the farm. It was an experience worth relishing.

BORACAY

Every trip to paradise is always something to blog about. The people you meet and see, the activities you do, the parties. These are all the things that make the tropical paradise a great place to go to. One thing different with our stay this time was the parade by locals that celebrate the Sto. Nino. It was a thing of beauty. Hope I can go to bora again this summer.

MY TOP 3 FAVORITE RESTAURANTS

SPIRAL - SOFITEL (Formerly Philippine Plaza)

This must have been the mother of all buffets. I was just lucky that a good friend invited me over to indulge into some kind of buffet that would be totally satisfying. If you do not go there starving and hungry then the buffet would have lost its purpose. Check out my blog for it will definitely keep you drooling for seconds.

Casa Verde – Cebu City

You should be a magellan clone if you just happen to stumble across this wonderful restaurant. The restaurant used to be a house and is difficult to point to if you are not from CEbu. Bottomline, the place was not a hindrance for the food to be discovered. Like most cebuanos, they believe in the saying that if your food is good people will know and come. Now because of the success of their restaurant, they will be opening a branch at the Ayala mall. Definitely word will spread that Cebu's best kept secret is now in the open.

JARDINEROS

Although you can actually eat there, the one thing that made this a great place to buy food is that their lettuce and dressings are their bread and butter. When I go to tagaytay i always pass by then buy my stuff with no questions asked. Everyone once in a while its also nice to indulge into something green!
