What? Are you serious? Sizzling Balut? So went our collective gasps as Ate Vivian started laying out to us what we should order at her restaurant in Alaminos City. We just came from Tambobong Beach and stayed at the R Paradise Beach Resort, which is also owned by Ate V. She vehemently told us that we must drop by her bistro grill before proceeding to Dagupan City.

And so we did, we’d never turn down an invitation to dine especially since we didn’t have breakfast yet.

Ate V’s Bistro Grill & Eatery is located at San Jose Drive, one of the main thoroughfares of Alaminos City. It caters mostly to the employees working at the nearby hospital. But that doesn’t mean it’s one of your typical cafeterias serving the usual carinderia dishes.
