Latest Pigout: Zong

Sorry I forgot to take note of the prices AGAIN! (whatta NOOB) nevertheless, I hope you'll enjoy these pictures from my not so latest pigout.

Beef Noodles - 4 spoons!

I don't really like chinese noodle soup for some reason but I did ate a cup or 2 of this and it was good ^_^

Yang Chao Rice - 3 spoons!

I've heard of how good this is from my friends. I didn't know where that come from but this one's nothing special. Just typical yang chao rice.

Hakao - 5 stars!

Finally! Dish that made my day. One of, if not, the best hakao I've tried. Really loaded with shrimp! Yummeh!!

Roasted Suckling Pig - 3 spoons

Or lechon de leche as we Filipinos call it. This was my first ever so it's sad that I didn't enjoy it :( Although there's no surprise there since I don't like roast pig (pretty unusual for a Filipino :P). I like the skin though, very crispy ^_^. I just can't stand the aftertaste. I really can't describe it! basta, it's unpleasant! (at least for me..boyfie, enjoyed it)

3 stars for the place. Nice and classy. However there's a lurking aura of unsanitary-ness. Haha, sorry for the bad description :P

Overall rating 2 spoons.
Will I revisit??: I don't think so.

If there's a cuisine I could say I am quite an 'expert', hands down it would be Chinese. It's a family favorite. For it's price, Zong has failed to impress me. So yeah, I really don't recommend this one :(

Zong is located at The Fort Strip, Bonifacio Global City and you could check more about them here.

**DeTour**

Please let us pray for the families who have fallen victim to the earthquake and tsunami calamity in Japan. Before this I have been preparing for me and boyfie's Japan visa application for a week vacation so it is heartbreaking that this has happened now. Let us pray for their recovery. Check out http://edition.cnn.com/ to know the latest developments of this tragic event.



Calamity upon calamity will come, and rumor upon rumor. They will go searching for a vision from the prophet, priestly instruction in the law will cease, the counsel of the elders will come to an end. The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with despair, and the hands of the people of the land will tremble. I will deal with them according to their conduct, and by their own standards I will judge them.“‘Then they will know that I am the LORD.’” - Ez.7:26-27

Sonya's Garden

Last weekend my boyfriend and I had Bed & Breakfast at Sonya's Garden for our post 63rd monthsary and pre Valentine's day celebration. This is like one of our favorite place ever. It's just beautiful and pleasant there and most of all THE FOOD IS TERRIFIC!!!! For this post let me just flood you with pixies from the place...

Nighttime....



We availed the Sonya's Sensuous Spa (best to do after a sumptuous dinner, which we did ^_^). Pretty pricey but it's good, not the best I had though (Nurture Spa is better. Let me know if you want me a blog post on it) Here's some ninja shots of the place ;-)...

Even this tea is delicious :) I also like that they provide envelopes for tips. I alway's feel awkward handing tips...not sure why? is because I'm cheap??perhaps...:P

More pics outside...

would be great if we had descent (mushy ^_^) shot here. Too bad we just had our handy dandy digicam with no tripod with us...

you just have to have a shot in this cozy garden chairs......

Here's some pics from the room..we stayed at Chamomile cottage...

this is like the "porch" of the room. There's a small fridge inside that small cabinet over there and loads of instant coffee and an electic kettle on top..

there are books EVERYWHERE. Just right because if you're here, you'll have this urge to grab a book and read. That's just how relaxing this place is...trust me:)

pretty vanity with free cotton balls. For those who can't skip their daily/nightly beauty regimen ^_^

window. I just love reading here ^_^

Morning shots....

A HIGHLY recommended place for couples, family, friends because the rooms are designed for groups. As you see in the pictures, our room had 2 king size beds and there's also another bedding that can accomodate 1/2 people. Next post will be about Sonya's Garden's food!! Believe me, you'll love to see that one :)

Sonya's Garden is located at:

And you could contact them at these numbers:

For reservations: call or text +63-9175329097 or +63-9175335140

And here's how to get there via commute (coming from Manila area):

- Ride the LRT1/MRT and get off at EDSA/Taft Ave station or whatever as long as you get to Pasay Rotonda area
- When you see "Chowking" (at the opposite side of the Metropoint mall) there's a small way there which you'll notice because bus and jeepneys enter and exit from there
- Ride the bus going to "Nasugbu" and tell the "kundoktor" (the one who collects fare fees) youre going to "Bgy Buck Estate"...not "Alfonso Cavite" they have different rates. Fare fee for Bgy Buck Estate is Php96 ($2).
- You'll get off on a street with tricycle terminal. Ride one and say youre going to Sonya's Garden. Fare is Php24 . That's it :)

Caylabne Resort

Hi guys, here are some pics from my day at the beach yesterday :)...It was raining sooooo hard in the morning but good thing there was little sunshine in the afternoon so I didn't end up bringing all those sunblocks for nothing :P





Caylabne beach has black sand naturally so you could see here that the sea has already washed the white sand away over time:)


Definitely this is not the best beach I've been to. It's small and going there is not that easy too, its even farther than Puerto Azul. But that could be a good thing though, it wasn't as crowded as most beaches so if you like that like me, then you could give this place a shot. You may also want to inquire first before swimming at the beach because there are times it's jellyfish infested:P The food's not good either. unfortunately there's a corkage fee for any food you'll bring aside from chips and water:P

Where did you go swimming?? I'd love to see pictures and perhaps I could go there next summer :)
