Staying in the sleepy town of Cabangan means you’d have to eat there too. However, most food places in the province aren’t really located there—it’s far from being the food capital of Zambales—still, there are a handful of unique places you can dine in when in Cabangan. And during the past years, as tourism started to bloom in town, the number of places to eat in Cabangan started to grow too. 
   
Here are a few of the most interesting food places in Cabangan. These range from roadside stands and food shacks to swanky cafes and full-blown restaurants. These made the list because they’re somewhat unique, have good food, are institutions in Cabangan, or simply because I’ve personally tried them and found them to be worthy.

Wake up at eight. Have a hearty breakfast. Go out to the beach and swim until our tummies clamor for lunch. Eat somewhere cheap. Take a nap and wake at around four. Head over to the beach. Lay on a blanket until the sun sets. Find a place for dinner. Rinse. Repeat.

So goes our daily routine for our three week-vacation in Boracay—well, twenty two days to be exact.

Two cold bottles of Red Horse beer were slid down our wooden table. In front of us, the late afternoon sun was filtering through the coconut trees. On the beach, a group of kids were playing a serious game of Frisbee while tourists frolic across the glittering waters of Boracay. On the horizon, a row of paraw boats were waiting for the sun to set. We were at Cocoloco Boracay—with sand under our feet and a cold beer in our hands—it probably can’t get any better than this.

Two Seasons’ barLO Restaurant was filled to brimming, but we didn’t really mind waiting. The sun was out, and the water at Station 1 was uber calm. We braved the ungodly noontime hour, and with sunblock on, frolicked at Boracay’s White Beach with total abandon.

A feast of feast was spread across our long table—familiar Filipino dishes but dressed nicer than your usual meal at home. The table was set outside The Lind’s Tartine Restaurant—along Boracay White Beach’s premier location, Station 1—but no one seems to be minding the banquet. The sun was setting and everyone had rushed to the shore to take photos of the famous Boracay sunset.

The first two weeks of our stay in Boracay was spent near Bulabog Beach—the first week at Ferra Hotel Garden Suites, and the second, at an apartment lent to us by a friend of Blissfulguro. By the third week of our stay, we finally transferred to a beachfront hotel, and at no less than the White Beach.

GOLDEN PHOENIX HOTEL BORACAY’S LOBBY

To be honest, we wouldn’t really have booked a beachfront resort due to their prohibitive prices. It was just pure luck that we chanced upon a discounted rate on a booking app for Golden Phoenix Hotel Boracay. For ₱1,200.00 per night, we got a room for two—toddlers are free of charge—with complimentary breakfast. Totally not bad for a four-star rated Boracay beachfront resort.

Having tried the cheapest food in Boracay during our three-week stay on the island, we decided to splurge a bit during the latter part of our trip. And splurge to us meant buffet, a proper Boracay buffet. We looked at the options, most of which are found on Boracay White Beach, and decided to be a bit modest with our food splurge. We chose a buffet that’s not too expensive, but is still a feast for the eyes—and of course, our tummies.

One sunny day in Boracay found us looking for the cheapest buffet we could find at Boracay White Beach. We actually saw a ₱250.00 buffet, but found their selection to be too carinderia. I mean, we like carinderia food and we’ve actually eaten some of the most affordable food in Boracay, but we wanted something else for our buffet—perfectly roasted, juicy, and tender pork liempo, specifically.

We thought of going to Andok’s instead, one of the cheapest places to eat on in Boracay, but a single serving of their liempo costs more than a hundred pesos—that’s quite expensive for multiple orders. After much walking, we eventually found the best restaurant that suited our craving, Sunset View Restobar’s lunch buffet.

After a couple of days of gloomy weather, the sun finally showed up. We’ve been frequenting the other beaches of Boracay the previous days, but this time, we finally went to the Boracay White Beach for a midday swim. The sun was out in full; the water, calm and azure. A few wisp of clouds floated idly by. It was the perfect beach day on arguably the Philippines’ finest beach.

“Where to next?” That’s the usual question we have after spending a day or two at Boracay’s White Beach. And the usual answer is Puka Beach or Puka Shell Beach—as it was known for the puka shells littering its shore before Boracay became famous.

WATER, SAND, LIMESTONE, TREES AT PUKA BEACH

It is arguably the second most famous beach in Boracay—not counting Bulabog Beach, of course—which is popular by default since it’s where the water activities are located when the Boracay White Beach is being battered by the Habagat Winds.

But I digress. Let’s head over to Puka Beach, shall we.

The morning was bright and the sky was cobalt blue in color. Shaded from the morning sun by a huge rock cliff facing the beach, we spread our blue blanket on the sand—laying our toddler’s sand toys right beside it. Completely ignoring his toys, he ran straight towards the waters—us, quickly scrambling to catch up with him. It seems Diniwid Beach’s aquamarine waters has won our son’s heart on first sight.

With two days in Dubai, you will have just enough amount of time to take in the city’s major attractions and experiences. Visit Burj Khalifa, wander around the Dubai Mall, stroll down Al Bastakiya Quarter, and discover the Arabian Desert, among others. So, without further ado, come learn how to get the best out of your two days in Dubai with the following suggested travel program.

We were in Boracay and it was time for the sunset. The water was clear and calm, the sand—pristine and fine. Except for a few tourists and local kids swimming and playing about, we almost had the whole stretch of beach to ourselves.

Not really a common statement when in Boracay. But, if you’re at Bulabog Beach, you can definitely experience this.
But, Bulabog Beach? That dirty backside beach? Really?

Well, after Boracay’s rehabilitation, Bulabog Beach has been revived to a good enough alternative to the more famous Boracay White Beach.

Not a few people are daunted by staying for more than a few days in Boracay—not because of fake sick leaves that might eventually be found out by the boss—but by how expensive staying on the island is. And this is a very valid point, not only are the lodgings expensive, but the food as well.

CARINDERIA MEALS IN BORACAY

During our three-week stay in Boracay, we managed to trim down our food expenses by bringing along a ton of foodstuff with us, along with a small rice cooker. But that’s not to say that we didn’t eat out the whole time we were there—eat out we did. On a few occasions we dined on expensive restaurants and Boracay buffets, but mostly, we ate on inexpensive eateries where most locals also dine in.

LUGAW AND FAST FOOD MEALS IN BORACAY

Here are a few of the affordable food places with meals priced at less than a hundred pesos that we ate on during our stay in Boracay.

The water was cold on first dip. Too cold, in fact, that I doubled back a bit if I really wanted to take a morning swim at Nasugbu’s Long Beach. But my son, A, was already on his merry way along the waters—hands splashing on his sides, totally unmindful of the cold. Oh heck.

It was a quick weekends of sort at Nasugbu—a seemingly never-ending town in Batangas. It was my niece’s birthday, and they’re celebrating it on their hometown. We were only too quick to say yes to their invitation to join—wanting to let in a bit more of the outdoors in our too homebound lives nowadays.

The majority of countries are reopening to tourists after nearly two years of being confined to their homes and unable to leave the country or travel at all. People have been wanting to go ahead with their travel plans and get to their favorite places safely and stress-free.

In India, one of the most ideal places to visit is the city of Mumbai, which is considered to be India’s commercial capital. This city of Mumbai offers a lot more than art, history, architecture, theater, food, culture, and nightlife.

Six airlines operate between Dubai and Mumbai. In that case, there are approximately 59 flights per week between the two cities. DXB to BOM flights cost around 380-550 AED depending on the season you’ll be traveling.

“Go and say good morning to your friends, A.” So goes our usual morning conversation with our two-year old son as we exit our room to have breakfast. Those said friends aren’t from the Team RH crew—who also flew to Boracay, the moment they learned we were there—but the Ferra Hotel & Garden Suites Boracay’s staff, who have genuinely became our son’s friends while on the island.

“Tatay, I thought we’re gonna ride an airplane? Why are we on a bus?” So went my two-year old son as we rode Cebu Pacific Air’s bus across the airport tarmac en route to our plane. It was A’s first time to ride one. And it was also his first time to really travel—being born just before the pandemic hit.

Once known as the home of Manila’s high society, Ermita’s streets were lined with lavish mansions. Unfortunately, this famous district was heavily bombed during the Second World War, which turned the posh neighborhood to rubble. After the war, Ermita bounced back with major commercialization that transformed the upscale suburb into a flourishing commercial district with plenty of banks, malls, and hotels. As a tourist, you can take your pick of any hotel in Ermita Manila folks speak highly of. The area has various accommodations from traveler’s inns with essential amenities to the more upscale five-star hotels.

Even with the sprawling modern commercial establishments, Ermita retains its link to the past through the various historical places that still stand today. So if you want to travel back in time or want to learn more about Manila’s colorful history, make sure to visit these historical places in Ermita.
