Laguna's the home province of my Mom. So once in awhile, I visit my family here. I just came here 7 days ago, making the most out of my vacation hee hee. My aunt just gave birth to her second child yesterday (051214). Welcome to the family, Judeah!! Anyways, because I'm a self-proclaimed foodie, I tried to explore a little bit. Since I have a fcked up eating pattern (yeah, too bad) I ate earlier and later than usual. But nevertheless, here's what I found. *photos from my Instagram account.
TAPICO DE COFFEE They offer coffee, shakes and smoothies, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I ordered Strawberry Milkshake, and yes, it tastes heavenly. And that picture, that was my lunch. You should try it. Texas BBQ Glazed Spareribs (now my favorite hihi). The meat is sooo tender, and the Bbq sauce, aaahhhh. Words can't describe how delicious it is. Beside this coffee house is SATORI, a Japanese Restaurant. It's located at Alyssa's Arcade, 1st flr, in front of Toyota San Pablo.
Cousins dragged me to go with them at Lipa, Batangas. We went to SM City Lipa, and ate at TOKYO TOKYO. Always love their Beef Teriyaki, served with California Maki + Snow Ice Choco Sensation for dessert!
After strollin' at SM City Lipa and Robinsons Lipa, we decided to eat at ARMY NAVY Burger + Burrito before heading home (now my favorite burger place). You can get the most out of your P165 from their Classic, single quarter pound patty burger. Deliiiiicious!! For Mother's Day, we had a family dinner at BACOLOD CHICKEN BBQ HOUSE at Paseo Sta. Rosa. though the original plan really is to eat at Kanin Club. The sisig was okay, it's just very oily. Chicken tastes like those of Mang Inasal.
Cause I'm a Milktea Maniac, I searched for Tea Houses nearby. I happen to visit SERENDIPITY TEA BAR. It's located near Celestial Montessori where my cousin, Cedie, is studying. The place is cozy and their barista is cute. Hahahahahahaha
Just this morning, I walked around the city finding Cafelandia. Haha, unfortunately I wasn't able to find it. I tried asking people, but they don't know exactly where it is. It's a newly opened Cafe, so maybe that's why. I ended up at Si Christina (Gateau Sans Rival). No regrets. Their Brazo de Mercedes is the best I've tasted, so far. The Red Berry Smoothie is as delicious. I suggest you to sit at the front table to have a better view of the city.
For lunch, I tried SIZZBARN's Sizzling Sisig. Not as crispy and delicious as of Dencio's but it's okay. First time to eat it with vegetable side dish. It's located at 2nd Flr, SM City San Pablo. That's it for now. Have to explore some more to find best places in the city. I hope you're enjoying your summer as much as I am. 😘
