Lolo Dad's and the Perks of Having a Best Friend

1. Having someone who can stand you.

2. A shoulder to lean on.

3. Discounted degustacion lunch at Lolo Dad’s.

Nage of blue crab and scallops jelly with lobster sandwich

caper berry aioli and micro greens

Hot sea bass sardine with Moluga caviar marinated radish and cracker

Sous vide of duck breast and seared foie gras with chocolate ganache

Sorbet

(Did I just eat bone marrow? Holy cow!)

Gratinated Chev's brie cheese with beets, peaches and light goat cheese mousse

Almond nut sponge with coffee butter cream and vanilla almond ice cream

Lolo Dad’s – Minimalist interior style. Relaxing garden setting. To die for caviar and foie gras. A place of extreme, intense, great gustatory adventure.

Bucket list no. 5. Check.

PS.

Don’t forget to bring lots of cash. Lots and lots of it. For this lunch, Kuri paid 6k+. Just digest and picture out this information with me fainting in the background.

The West Cove Boracay

Boracay’s Atlantis and Manny Pacquiao’s aesthetically unique and charming resort with breathtaking ocean view.

When you’re in Bora, make sure you include West Cove in your itinerary. Who knows you might bump into the Champ or Aling Dionisia. But I heard, the resort is closed to the public whenever he’s around.

Nadal Castle

The newest attraction of Numancia, Aklan is a quaint modern castle. Plus a pool and jacuzi. Minus dungeons and dragons.

Or else it really would be weird to see some dragons swimming in a pool.

Shangri-la Boracay

For a poor small town boy like me, Shangri-la is jaw-dropping dead gorgeous. Definitely, the best hotel and resort in Boracay!

So this is the cherry to my 2010.

Happy new year everyone! 

Everybody loves differently

Sad fact no. 12:

Because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to

doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.

The Crescent Moon Café

The world is beautiful when the heart is full of love.

I saw the quote etched on an old wooden dresser of the café. This, and the glowing kois, the lush ambience, the alagao wrap-up salad, and the healthy food either picked from a tree or fished from their natural habitat, made me fall instantly in love with the place.

You’d surely get a yes when you propose to someone under the beautiful crescent moon.
