A Taste Test: Ultimate Churros from La Lola

We first encountered La Lola Churreria through La Lola on the Go, their kiosk located at the SM Mall of Asia. It easily caught our attention because of the flock of customers all lining up to take a piece. Mr. C uttered, "That's  a famous churros bar which, I heard make great churros. They offer matcha dip, too." My eyes flickered upon hearing the "matcha dip". However, the line was too long that time we didn't bother to join the hype. Good thing when we passed by SM North, there was no line at all.

Cafe Via Mare: A cafe of Filipino Classics

Mr. C is not a fan of classic Filipino food because he has a strong belief that you can have it better at home through lutong bahay. Well, I would have to agree with him, because he and my mother-in-law make fantastic home-cooked food. However, since there was a send-off party with his team at work and Cafe Via Mare was the agreed meeting place, we were forced to give it a try.

What The Fuss: Real Coffee and Calamansi Muffin Taste Test

With the favorable reviews from Tripadvisor and being called "The Famous", our palate yearned for Real Coffee's Calamansi Muffin. On our last day in Boracay, we took our breakfast at this place after shopping for pasalubong in D' Mall.

The only signage of this restaurant is the plywood below, so you  really have to be alert when looking for it.

A Taste Test: Grilled Tuna Panga from Hoy, Panga!

Mr. C mentioned that Youtube sensation Bogart the Explorer owns the Hoy, Panga! so we did a taste test if their Grilled Tuna Panga was anything good.

Their medium grilled tuna panga costs about PHP 350. It's already good for two people. Best to partner it with rice.

VERDICT

Discovery Shores Boracay: A First Anniversary Dinner

I did not have any idea where Mr. C would bring me for our anniversary dinner. Hence, the thrill of wondering.

My wondering turned into joy when we stopped by Discovery Shores, a luxury hotel in Boracay.

Indigo is the name of the restaurant. The staff greeted us enthusiastically as if they were expecting us. Little did I know, Mr. C made a reservation, something that is usually my job. He even showed his email if his conversation with the staff. I smiled in awe.

Since it's lean season, there were no other guests but us. Mr. C jokingly said, 'Actually pina-reserve ko yung buong restaurant.' I laughed. That was a timely joke.
