Kainan sa Dalampasigan

After our Pico getaway, we decided to drop by Kainan sa Dalampasigan for some

seafood goodness ;)

Though you won't see any view of the seashore or bay, you'd be delighted by all the trees and plants that surrounds this resto <3

Upon entering, pots and vases of different kinds of greenery and flora will greet you.

Great space to take photo-ops too! hihi

Dining hall

Lovin the rustic feels <3

Menu

 Their iced tea and sago't gulaman is really refreshing!

Got their famous Bilao and Kare-kare. YUM!

Gigantic rice wrapped in banana leaves

Their bilao consisted of grilled pork, shrimps, baked tahong and this mini kangkong achara on the middle. There's supposed to be daing na bangus but it was out of stock so they just added more baked tahong ;)

What a feast! #nomz

Pico de Loro Aug 2014

Had a short stay at Pico last month c/o a deal from Groupon.

If you're not aware yet, Pico de loro is just 90mins away from Manila via Ternate-Nasugbu road ;)

Anyway, here's my photo diary!

very pretty lobby

The deal consisted of a condo room in the Beach homes area with beds good for 6 people (extra mattress not in pic)

They also have the Pico Sands Hotel if you're more comfortable staying in a hotel room :)

It would take about 15-20 minutes by walking to get to the beach from the pool/hotel but fortunately, Pico has a free shuttle that goes around the area every 5-10 minutes. Yay <3

Beach area. nothing special really.

There's even a sign warning people that there are jellyfish yikes!

So we decided to lay down,  have drinks and not swim at all hihi

View from the lobby

After lounging in the beach, we decided to head to the pool to finally swim!

Good thing their pool area is superb or I'd be completely disappointed with pico!

What a beauty <3

pretending to have a pre-nup shoot lolz

This is the kids area where you could find the slide!

the man-made lagoon and condos

they have a mini island on the lagoon which you can access by crossing this bridge ;)

shot by my mom. never knew she  could be artsy hihi =P

Punta Fuego

Went on an overnight stay with my mom and her friends to Punta Fuego last week.

This trip was really heaven sent. It's sooo hot in Manila that using an electric fan is pretty useless. Basically, you need air conditioner or a beach trip like this! -__- 

Our view upon arriving.

very spacious cabana

You might be surprised that the toilet/shower is an open area.

There are no curtains but the wall outside serves as the main blockage to make it private.

The hidden beach which is not accessible

lovely infinity pool

swim time!

pretty sunset

For dinner, we had soup, pinakbet, tuna belly and chocolate eruption for dessert. Yumz!

lobby

Punta Fuego is divided into 2: 

Main Club (Peninsula de Punta Fuego) and Beach Club (Terrazas de Punta Fuego)

You need to ride the shuttle going to Terrazas if you wanna swim at their beach.

It only took around 5 mins so don't worry.

They have several amenities you could try like banana boat, flying fish, jetski etc

one last swim and pictorial at the pool haha

hearty bfast

Their salad was to die for so i took another serving! hehe

They also served hot cocoa!!!

Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I can't wait to go back!
