Boracay Experience

So the family went to Boracay last 2011 and of course, the food of the islands was one of the priorities in the list! it makes me feel the hunger all over again just by writing this post. I heard that there was this new restaurant in Station 2 where all the happenings in the party island takes place. Epic Boracay is sure to give your taste buds a treat with its Epicurean flavors.

Next up: Spanish food. After wandering the labyrinth of stores at D'Mall Station 2, my mom and I felt like trying some new cuisines in the island. And lo and behold: OLÉ Spanish Tapas Bar & Restaurant. I still have my random cravings for their aromatic platters! Check out their menu for a fusion of Spanish, Mexican, and Cuban food!

Who wouldn't enjoy a scoop of Italian Gelato under the summer heat? 

Beer is served best, below zero. Enjoyed these during the fire dance shows.

Can't wait to go back, here's to the summer!

New Year's Eve

So last night we had lemon-buttered shrimps for dinner. It was a combination of chopped lemongrass, fresh lime juice, and of course giant prawns straight from the market! Due to the harassing pressure of the family to get ready for dinner, I did not have time to take lovely photos.

My aunt really knows how to maximize the flavors out of her condiments. The fusion of the salty butter and the citrus kick of the lime hit the right spot. Will post about our family's special Kare-Kare recipe soon. Happy New year everyone!
