Barat Mode

It’s our first time to go to Laiya, Batangas to enjoy the beach and nature trip last May 1, 2008

At first, we were trying to book at Palm Beach Resort but since we just planned the trip 3 days before our preferred date, it’s already fully booked. So, our friend called up several resorts in the area to check for available accomodations. Luckily, we were able to get 1 premier room at La Luz.

Upon reaching the resort, we were very happy with how the receptionists welcomed us. They were very accomodating and courteous. We immediately fell in love with the place. They have a very cozy place. Very clean and relaxing cabanas and a row of beach parasols and wooden beach chairs (you could use these free of charge, WOW!).

They have a couple of beach activities to enjoy — kayak, snorkling, beach volleyball, bon fire at night, board games, and our well loved body massage. Everything is priced affordably.

We also like the buffet meals that they offer. It is not gourmet but not canteen food… we could say that your Php 950 (lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner and breakfast) is really “sulit” and can be enjoyed by a certified barat! We were super “busog” all the time. Each meal consists of pork, chicken, vegetable and fish dish — plus dessert and juice drink.

So if ever you plan to go to Laiya, Batangas try La Luz.

Yesterday (March 28, 2008) we went to Market!Market! to accompany our sister with her weekly duty at the PULSE Ultrasound Clinic (she’s the Sonologist every friday 5-8pm … hehehe free plugging ito ha! ;P)

Anyway, upon entering the food area from the open parking we stumbbled upon the kiosk of Sisig Hooray!… We’ve been hearing good reviews about this sisig place for quite sometime now, so we were excited to check it out.

As sisig fanatics, we were eager to try their version of sisig. Prices are super affordable! or we should say a CERTIFIED barat place! hahaha… Barat with high standards! hahaha

Sisig Hooray has a different way of serving their sisig, don’t expect a sizzling plate. They weigh the pork ingredient and then adds onions, chilis, liver, seasoning and mayo. This mixture is then popped in the microwave for a few seconds then topped with Chicharon and transfered to the styro with rice. Believe us it’s yummy! You may even ask the staff to add more mayo! Heavenly! :9

One order of sisig (pork) is only Php 49.99 (with rice and a generous serving of sisig — which you could eat up with up to 2 rice servings hehehe). They do offer barakada size which sells at Php 130 per order — more or less about 3 single orders. They also have chicken sisig but we’re not interested with it, so we did not pay attention with how it looks like and how much per serving bwahahaha!

The funniest part of our experience was this… since we were super excited to try our new sisig discovery we forgot to take some pictures for this entry! … but we promised ourselves to take pictures the next time we visit Sisig Hooray! … which is later! hahaha … barat addict!

Sisig Hooray, mapapa-Hooray ka sarap!:)

They have several branches but we only remembered: Market!Market! and Trinoma.

… we’ll update this post soon!:)

Yesterday (March 11) , finally we tried this new Thai Massage Place that just opened along D. Tuazon.

The place is not that impressive, but for the price of Php 150 for an hour of Thai massage (introductory offer) what else would you want? We liked their massage. It reminded us of our Bangkok trip last year… it’s just cheaper yesterday and it’s just a few minutes drive from home

So if you happen to be in the area, give it a try. You get good Thai massage for just half the price of your normal massage at other Spas.

Services offered: Full Body Massage, Foot Reflexology, Back Massage and Head Massage

Promo price of Php 150 is until March 31, 2008 only

How to get there:

112 D. Tuazon St. Near Nicanor Roxas QC
0922.834.3828
721.4240/81

From Quezon Avenue (going towards Welcome Rotonda) turn right at D. Tuazon
Just before you reach St. Theresa’s College, you’ll see this place on your right
