At the Lobby.Not a Five - star Hotel but Berjaya is cozy enough for us to have good moments together.

El Prado is the name of the Hotel's restaurant. I must say that their staff are gracious enough even in the most busy situation considering it's lunch time.

Choices are limited but all of the dishes are good.I couldn't complain much, really.

* Kare - Kare, Roast Porloin with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, Roasted Chicken, Fish Fillet with lemon and coconut cream sauce, potato and zuchini au gratin and roasted chicken

The salad for me is a "forget about it" or maybe it's just with the vinaigrette that went wrong.

The "Make your own Pasta" was cool for me. Long Line, though.

Vitamilk is my new love.

I have no intention to endorse or whatever that may sound like that in doing this post. I just want to share with you guys my new find at a local store near us.It's called Vitamilk.I have always loved soy products and would always get eager to buy soyamilk whenever I see someone sellin' it.

DSC_0981


One afternoon, I was looking for something refreshing and this caught my eye simply because it's a bottled soyamilk.haha!At the counter, the cashier told me that it's their new import and she flash bragged that it do taste good. Tried it at home and the next thing I knew it was already my favorite!Not the usual soyamilk that contains a lot of residues and when it comes to taste, still, a lot better than the others.

It's a product of Thailand under green spot corporation.Try it friends and tell me if I have dissapointed you.=)

Leggo!,
Angge.

Roadtrip to south 2: Caleruega

Inspired by a friend, we went to Caleruega without knowing that it's miles away from Nuvali and with just a little knowledge about directions..God is really good because he lead us safely to his church. When we got there, I knew right then that my friend was right..Caleruega is really a beautiful place to keep yourself at peace. Only that you had to pay an entrance fee of P30.00 to visit a church?hmmm..

I'm really in the mood to take pictures because everywhere seems to be the perfect spot to take a photo..

DSC_0523

Again, it was my sister who became so happy while I was taking pictures of every pose she does.

In the lobby..

Plants are for sale also..I wanted to buy for tatay but I'm afraid it will not be the same after a long trip from bus..

DSC_0586


Caleruega is known for retreats and I agree with all my heart that this is the place to be..

DSC_0526


Who will not fall instantly with just a glimpse of this scenery?

Tables are for rent for P250 here but I suggest you to have your own baon then buy drinks at their cafe so you can eat for free without paying for these tables

DSC_0575

Amazed with their tagline, "Close to nature, Closer to God"

Another attraction is the Hanging Bridge..

DSC_0657

A long walk's nothing for an overjoyed person.

Caleruega is offering a retreat during the holy week. You can contact them thru their website for more info.

Here's a playful us.Super pic!

Roadtrip to South 1: Solenad, Nuvali.

DSC_0343


Solenad, Nuvali is just like any other place,only that it is farther. But there is something in this place I would keep comin' back..I don't know but we've enjoyed in here so much!Nuvali is just one bus away from Manila and you can get proactive after being dropped here.

THE MAIN ATTRACTION?The abundant number of Koi that would die just to eat the bite-sized feeds you've thrown unto them!Oh my,to our amusement, we've bought a total of seven bags of feeds (P15 each) just to watch them fight over it!here's an explanation why we have to reward the good koi.

This is our first bonding together and I love watching my sister and Mimi having good times and moments here in Nuvali.=)

DSC_0291


There isn't much to do here but the limited activities can already give you so much fun! How about a Taxi Boat Ride? This only costs P30 each with a minimum of six persons. In our case,since we're only three, we bought the whole trip for P180 pesos. I didn't thought that this cheap ride would cost my sister so much happiness.=)

Bikes are for rent for P60 per hour but not these super gorgeous "gwapo" bikes. It's just bike parking for customers of a trail cafe. Oh how I'm so addicted to mountain bikes!
DSC_0332

After a while, exhaustion takes place and we had to relax and dine at Conti's. I'm very much occupied with Nuvali so the food photos are just snapshots but I hope you'd still like it..

Apple Potato Salad (P130) - The simple combination of apple, potato, chicken and carrots gave me a nice munchy feeling. The three of us shared this together

DSC_0468

Tofu Steak (P190) - I told you, tofu's my weakness. There's no doubt that I loved this dish.Getting biased again.=)

DSC_0471

Choco Mousse (P70) - Simple but tempting. We know that Conti's creations are not that sweet so it gives you an addictive feeling to eat more slices of cake..

This is just part one of our Roadtrip to south. A very very tiring day,indeed. But it's okay cos it's all worth it!I love my Sister and my Mimi.=)
