Snapshots From Tuguegarao!
I can't believe I've been to Tuguegarao. One of my closest friend, Jam invited us to her hometown for the celebration of labor day. It is one of the fastest developing tourist destinations in the country today because of the pristine white sand beach it offers and because of the enchanting Callao Cave.
Zubuchon, Cebu City | #Sinulog2015
Here's a short review of Zubuchon. Zubuchon is one of the restaurants in Cebu that offers the city's specialty, lechon. Anthony Bourdain, an American chef and tv personality said that Zubuchon's lechon was the best pig he had ever tasted. The restaurant has the most branch around Cebu city. They also offer ready made pasalubongs such as chicharon, soivenir shirts, and frozen lechon! Once we landed in Cebu to join the Sinulog Festival, we made it sure that our first meal would be Zubuchon's lechon!
Seafood Cravings at Trinity "DAMPA" | Seaside, Macapagal
Four years and four months. Boy, time flies by really fast. We were craving for seafood. We realised that both of us have already experienced "dampa" or seaside dining BUT not together. So, we decided to satisfy our seafood cravings by heading to our favourite restaurant Trinity. Dampa or Seaside is a place where you'll be shopping for your own fresh seafood and have it cooked by any of the restaurants located in dampa. Two reliable restaurants that cook seafood are Trinity and Sis palutuan.
It was an all different experience! We've done this before but with our parents who did all the shopping. We didn't know what's fresh or not. We didn't know if the prices were too high or not. Still, we conquered the seafood market. First, we went to the crab section. The lady asked us "bakla" or "babae"? (gay? or female?) I was like whutt?! I didn't know crabs had gender! haha! We asked the difference and the lady said that the gay crabs were bigger. We decided to buy one crab for Php170. Next, we went to the fish section and people approached and asked us what we're looking for. I said salmon. The guy showed us his salmon bellies and we bought one fourth kilo. We also bought half kilo of his shrimps, a total of Php340. Again, we didn't know if we chose the good catch. Fortunately, a woman, maybe in her thirties also checked out the salmon bellies of the exact place where we bought. I overheard her telling the vendor that his salmon were thin but very good and looks fresh. Ha! I'm so gooood. Next we went to the shell section and bought half kilo of mussels for Php40. I asked if they were fresh and the vendor said it was newly delivered. I had to trust him since I had no choice. Our groceries cost Php550 in all. Not bad, huh?
After shopping, we went to Trinity Restaurant. Upon entering, we surrendered our groceries and told them how each seafood should be cooked. We waited for around 15 minutes then our orders came. I didn't expect that all our orders would be enough to feed one family and there were only two of us. haha! Mabe we'll just take out the excess food, if there's any. ;)
