Balikbayan Favorites

My cousins from Canada arrived recently and us, being Filipinos took that as a sign to organize a welcome fiesta over the weekend. 

It was fun to think about the dishes that we're having because my cousin's last visit to Manila was more than a decade ago. And even if she cooks Filipino food in Canada, it is still different when you eat it here in Manila. 

Al Fresco At Puerto Del Sol

Puerto Del Sol is one of the most picturesque resort that I've been to. This resort is located in Bolinao, Pangasinan. We happen to be here because Baguio was super crowded and Little Bear wants to go swimming. You can read about our Day 1 in Puerto Del Sol here and Day 2 in Puerto Del Sol here. 

We were quite famished when we arrive because we didn't eat lunch along the way thinking that Bolinao was just two hours away from Baguio. After freshening up which includes the kids jumping in the pool, we adults proceeded to the Al Fresco Restaurant of the resort. And I immediately fell in love with the charming water container.
