Alavar's De Cebu Part I

A friend who invited me, my daughter and two teachers from my daughter's school treated us for dinner at Alavar's Restaurant. I've heard about this restaurant from my parents way, way back. I think they have a branch in Quezon City in the olden days.

Seafood Starter. It has clam soup, baked scallops and mussels. Everything's so delicious.

Kilawin Tanigue. I think everyone order this whenever they eat in a seafood restaurant. This version though has coconut cream. Lucky that its not too spicy.

Crispy Shrimps. Another winning appetizer. This is popular with the kids also.

Boracay's Hidden Gem: Mama's Fish House

I've always wanted to dine at Mama's Fish House in Boracay but wasn't able to for some forgotten reasons already. Then the pandemic happened and we're in lockdown or limited travel movement for almost two years. And guess what? One of the nicest thing to happen on our recent trip to Boracay was to discover that Mama's Fish House was located just outside the beach front of our hotel- Microtel by Wyndham Boracay . Talk about serendipity!

Salcedo Market x Legaspi Market Tour

We haven't visited the weekend markets for years so I was giddy with excitement because I was able to visit both Salcedo and Legaspi markets this month, thanks to our Dusit Thani Manila staycation . To differentiate the two, Salcedo market is held every Saturday at the Jaime Velasquez Park in Salcedo Village Makati while Legaspi market is held every Sunday at the Corinthian Carpark in Legaspi Village Makati. Since we were coming from Dusit Thani Manila, it was quite a long walk but it was early in the morning (around 8AM) and even Ayala and Makati Avenues were still without cars. Wow!
