Time to wear on the jackets and sip hot hot drinks!<br />
<br />
And, one of the traditional Filipino teas served during the cold seasons is the SALABAT (ginger tea).<br />

Not only is salabat a perfect partner for your knitted clothing, it's also known to be good for your voice! Not only that, ginger is used to:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>treat stomach problems including morning sickness and nausea,</li>
<li><a href="http://bembu.com/ginger-benefits" target="_blank">relieve tired muscles</a>, and</li>
<li>improve blood circulation.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
However, boiling ginger is a tedious, timely task. Good thing there's instant homemade salabat!<br />

Luckily there are coffee shops here in Batangas that sells cheaper brewed coffees, and one's Cafe Amadeo.<br />

Strategically located inside SM City Batangas, it's one of the coziest place to get one hot brewed drink.</div>

Because the place is not usually crowded, one can study and/or <i>tambay</i> here without the usual noise of a fast food restaurant (yes, even though the shop doesn't have walls).<br />
<br />
Their kapeng barako was rich but not overly done. I really enjoyed drinking it without any cream. I must say it's better than the brewed coffee from <i>that</i> famous coffee shop.<br />

Plus, they serve cheap but tasty food like this Pan de Tuna. One mouthful is full of flavor - it's a steal for <i>that </i>price.</div>

All in all, I will definitely visit again. I would like to try their Pahimis blend and suman sa lihiya, I heard it's a must-try. :D </div>

It was the cheapest quesadillas I've tried, but it's the most sulit (worth the cost). I would buy this over the more expensive ones, especially because of its condiments. Plus, the cheesiness is not strong to the taste that I can eat <i>n</i> slices without getting <i>umay </i>(<a href="http://adf.ly/rySAe" target="_blank">no english term acc. to google</a>).<br />

Then came the Mexican pizza minutes after. It was overwhelming due to having eaten about 3 slices of quesadillas. Also, I think it would be better if they let the pizza be extra spicy, but then it was our fault, so maybe I should try to go there without a kid next time. :D<br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mt. Gulugod Baboy, located at Anilao, Mabini, Batangas, is one of the popular hiking destinations in the province. Because it's relatively easier to climb (2/9 difficulty level), one can spend half day on the mountains and the other half on the beach! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> But Tita Ester's best ice candy flavor is not buko or corn; it's <b>ube</b>.

They are all for Php5 each, so I recommend all hikers to try them. </span><br />

<b>RED VELVET CAKE</b><br />
<br />
I'm not really a fan or red velvets - I just don't get the flavor. Still I tried Ann's version, and I must say I like this better than what I've tried before (a more expensive one in Katipunan).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8W4TGlZJEKZw-QSV7iq2hNNW9QLQ5Kpaiq7RhKakWI2pO-ApIYd89f-QbuR_cDzMjtfiAojR9JcX74RBgbSoGmKet8AgCAVIjc0iNEFz8W4VkUmTNIW65ps3OD4mLwNDlEdKywqCdXORi/s1600/IMG_1433.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8W4TGlZJEKZw-QSV7iq2hNNW9QLQ5Kpaiq7RhKakWI2pO-ApIYd89f-QbuR_cDzMjtfiAojR9JcX74RBgbSoGmKet8AgCAVIjc0iNEFz8W4VkUmTNIW65ps3OD4mLwNDlEdKywqCdXORi/s1600/IMG_1433.JPG" height="576" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
As always, the nuts (in this case, almonds slivers) are a great touch. As said, though not a fan of the flavor, that didn't stop me from eating it. It's not <i>nakakaumay</i> (I don't know the English term. Help, anyone?) unlike other red velvets that I tried, may it be a cupcake or cake, so I must say it's a must-try for all red velvet lovers. :)<br />

We were so in love with this that my sister bought a whole cake a week after. This I recommend to everyone. I would even recommend Starbucks to let them distribute this over their chocolate cakes so that I can have cheaper cakes there, if only I have the power.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Because I don't have a photo from the Dona Marcela Agoncillo Museum, here's a trivia from their ever jolly and lively guide:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Trivia: You know about aliping sagigilid (gilid - corner)? They were called as such because they were only allowed to step on the corners of the house. They can only step on the middle if they're called for by their masters. The house turned into museum has those corners. </blockquote>

<span style="font-size: large;">TAMPUHAN CAFE</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
My favorite find in Taal is Tampuhan Cafe. <span style="font-size: x-small;">We took lots of pictures using J's phone, but sadly, most unfortunately for me, they were all deleted due to formatting. :(</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
Anyway, Tampuhan Cafe got its name from a painting of two lovers having their tampuhan. The painting was in the shop, and it really depicts its title. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The first one to be served is the lato salad. It comes with alamang (fish paste), to complement with the green mango and tomato in the salad. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall, the food was great! We especially loved the bagoong rice and the pork sisig. We're six in the family (excluding the baby because he only ate plain rice) and we've got to try everything we ordered, so the serving's not measly.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The best part of it is we paid (read: Dad) lower than what we are paying in restaurants like Shakey's, but we were as full. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It was a nice experience, all in all.

Batulao: Photoblog + Tips<br />
You know where to best eat a halo-halo and packed lunch? At the mountains!<br />
<br />
My high school friends and I chose Mt. Batulao for our day hike because as these sites (<a href="http://actionasia.com/articles/day-hikes-mt-batulao" target="_blank">Action Asia</a>, <a href="http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/2007/08/mt-batulao-811.html" target="_blank">Pinoy Mountaineer</a>, <a href="http://philippine-mountains-and-beyond.blogspot.com/2012/04/batulao-nasugbu-batangas.html" target="_blank">mountains and beyond</a>) say, it's relatively easy to climb. <br />
<br />
So on we went!<br />
<br />
From Batangas City, we rented a van for Php 150+ each to get to the foot of the mountain.<br />

We didn't hire a guide mainly because we were cheapskates. XD Also, because there were many co-hikers that time, we thought that we could just follow them. We did reach our destination even without a guide. (But for safety and security reasons, I think one should hire one. The fee is 400 pesos as of February 2014.<br />

Their lugaw is just for Php 10! Lumpia for Php 5. Coco juice straight from the coconuts (forgot how much, sorry). And they taste good, especially the lumpia. (Hadn't taken pictures of them because I was starving when we got there.)<br />

We descended at about 3pm. It took us 2 hours because most of us descended sitting. Including me, of course. :)<br />
Didn't regret hiking though, because it's one of the most beautiful mountains I've seen.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Tips to first time Batulao hikers (or things I learned when I went there):</span><br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Start early. We experienced the peak at about 1-2pm. We have to wear jacket because of the heat.</li>
<li>Wear <a href="https://twitter.com/aguiladm03/status/445538257099423744" target="_blank">sunscreen</a>. Our faces were all red after the hike. One had to apply aloe vera because his face is sensitive. And he didn't wear<a href="https://twitter.com/aguiladm03/status/445538257099423744" target="_blank"> sunscreen</a> that time. </li>
<li>Bring at least 2 liters of water. Or extra money to buy ice cold water/sodas at the stopovers. </li>
<li>Secure gadgets. Weather is unpredictable (It rained when we went there. Not drizzle. Rain.). </li>
<li>Extra clothes is a must for non-professional hikers. </li>
<li>For OC non-professional hikers, bring wet wipes and tissue. (Dust were all over my body, even near undies because I went all fours.)</li>
</ol>

also liked it, especially because the cheese is way thicker than the cake part,
which can sometimes be too sweet for me. The only flaw of this sweet thing is
that it should always be kept refrigerated or it would melt; the shop does not
have dining facilities. It would be best if the shop offers disposable spoon
for the cake to be eaten right after it was bought.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 200%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm a tea place goer in Diliman (read: free wifi) so I kind of have a set of standards for an iced tea. I'm happy that this fruit tea is not as sweet and syrupy as Happy Leaf's (I'm not a fan, sorry), so I guess this could compete with Zentea of Nuciti. (Ochado's teas are good but more expensive than Zentea's or Tea Leaves' so...not for me). I just regretted that I added the slush+ because I don't like the aftertaste.</span><br />

We stayed there even after we finished our teas, and we had fun with the leafy post its. :)))</span><br />

<br />
After having dinner at<a href="http://adf.ly/3810780/fbaylosisreview" target="_blank"> F. Baylosis</a>, we decided to see<a href="http://adf.ly/3810780/yolanda" target="_blank"> Club Yolanda</a> since it's not too far from Baylosis and my friends and I haven't been there yet.<br />
It was a mini resort feel in it. It's a perfect place for a party because it has:<br />
1. pool<br />
2. Berb's Bar (for your drinking needs)<br />
3. Fred's Seafood Restaurant<br />
4. function hall<br />

Anyway, since we were already there, we decided to try their drinks (we could not afford to eat again). We ordered mango shake, buko pandan shake, avocado shake (shakes at Php 150) and kamikazee (Php 100).<br />

Buko pandan and mango shakes were served after about 20 minutes; we were informed that the avocado shake was not available because it was still bitter (they made us taste it first) after serving the other two shakes. It would be better if they knew beforehand about the condition of their avocado so that while ordering, they could inform us immediately about it, so that no time will be wasted. I hope they would heed this advice next time. :) We ordered mango shake to replace the avocado. The other orders were served after 10-15 minutes.<br />

Their mango shake is the second best mango shake that I tasted ever (first is TOSH's). It has right amount of sourness, and its presentation - with extra thin mango strips on top - is noteworthy. The same goes to the buko pandan shake's presentation. It's also yummy. I'm not a fan of pandan-flavored food, but I enjoyed drinking the shake.<br />
The kamikazee, on the other hand, was quite strong on its alcohol content, but I enjoyed it because I wanted alcohol then. It would be too much for a party drink. I tasted better kamikazees (Tomato Kick's), but this would do.<br />
<br />
After enjoying our drinks, the view, and a little chat, we asked for our bill.<br />

Lesson learned: 12% VAT exclusive bill will be a shock if you don't calculate it firsthand, so beware of these things. It was a good business strategy, to exclude the VAT on the menu, because it really looked cheap; but it doesn't feel right for a customer's perspective after receiving the bill. :)<br />
<br />
Overall, I liked the Berb's Bar experience. It would be a good place for meetups or reunion for financially stable people.<br />

Baylosis: Review<br />
<br />
Here in Batangas City, when we talk about crispy pata, F. Baylosis (<a href="http://adf.ly/3810780/fbaylosis" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>) would surely come into the conversation.<br />
Even though I heard them since high school, I've never eaten there because our family is not much of an explorer when it comes to dining (settling for restaurants nearer us or inside the malls).<br />
<br />
But last week, when my friends and I met in SM Batangas and craved for crispy pata for dinner, we gave in because one, we never dined there before and two, it's not to far from us. We just walked to GC Berberabe, where the restaurant is located (map <a href="http://adf.ly/3810780/fbaylosismap" target="_blank">here</a>).<br />

It was a beautiful place, and it has a fine dining feel in it. It would be a perfect place for promenades and parties. And that's what was happening inside their main building when we arrived there so we were seated in Boracay Garden.<br />

It was designed to have the ambiance of a beach, complete with fine sand and comfy rattan chairs (which sinks when you sit on it), though a sight of a swimming pool would be better (they have none).<br />
Though I appreciated the sand, it was so fine that it's uncomfortable to step on already. It would be better if they put on coarser ones. I also wonder on where they get it, because that fine a sand would be hard to reclaim (for example, Boracay sands are not permitted to be reclaimed, as per environmental laws).<br />

THE FOOD<br />
<br />
Anyway, we ordered rice, crispy pata and pakbet (Menu price exclusive of 10% service charge). (Photo while waiting, courtesy of @saniboink: <a href="http://instagram.com/p/YXgBWjxuww/">http://instagram.com/p/YXgBWjxuww/</a>)<br />
Maybe because of the walk which exhausted us a bit, we got really hungry, so we hadn't got energy to do anything else but to wait for the food. So every minute counted, and counted we did. The food was served 37-40 minuted after we ordered. Would that be considered slow service? For us hungry bunch, it did.<br />
<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

But they made sure the food was worth the wait, because it really was delicious. The crispy pata was not only skin-crispy, the ligaments and fleshy parts were so soft that we only left bones. It deserves to be THAT well-known, even tough it is not that big. The pakbet was a good choice to partner off with the pata and rice. Even vegetable-non-lovers would try it, because it has strong pakbet flavor that lessens the veggie taste in a good way.<br />
<br />
It was a good meal, though it would be better if we ordered one viand more, because we were not totally full; our hunger was just satisfied.<br />
<br />
When the bill came, we paid P264/person. With this price, plus the experience, I can conclude that the place is best for fancy dining and dinner dates. The ambiance and heavenly good food would be perfect for a romantic evening with a special someone. It would be a good starter if the evening would end in a good coffeehouse.<br />
<br />
It could be an eat out place if you have money for it. But if you want to pig out without shedding too much cash, this place is not for you (not for me, actually, the cheapskate that I am).<br />
But I did not regret eating there, no. Good food come with a good price naman.<br />
<br />
I would want to come back with my willing-to-pay-for-a-meal grand/parents.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you ever went to a Laiya beach, you would not <i>not</i> notice this restaurant. It is located on the side of an eye-catching Spanish era type house. When I first saw it, I immediately got curious on what food they offer. I even searched it in the internet - and when I did (<a href="http://adf.ly/MmkdP" target="_blank">NOMNOM</a> <a href="http://adf.ly/Mml0n" target="_blank">LI</a><a href="http://adf.ly/Mmkvk" target="_blank">NKS</a> - [afraid to use their images due to copyright laws etc]) , my curiosity heightened that I even posted (on FB) about my craving to go there. So when my dear boyfriend asked where we should have our anniversary, it's on my list. Because he's ever thoughtful, he picked Cafeno. :3</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">So, from Lipa City bus stop, we rode a van going to San Juan for 1-1.5 hours (Php 70 each).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Note: One would have to wait for the van to be full to depart. It has also the possibility to be a not-so comfortable ride, depending on how big the passengers are. Patience is a virtue.</span><br />

Sa Human Nature store ko kinain para may libre na ring kape (haha mahirap maging pooritang adik sa kape). Ang una kong tinikman ay 'yung kamote fries. Ay anu gang pagkakasarap ng sawsawan noon. Buti't napigilan ko ang aking sariling ubusin agad 'yun at naisipan kong litratuhan ang aking pagkain.</span><br />

<br />
Noon pa'y mahilig na ako sa kamote. Nabili nga ako sa Lawas at Plaza ng tigsasampu. Ayong mga 'yon, matatamis. 'Yung sa Mang Inasal sinubukan ko rin. Masarap din 'yun lalo na pag sawsaw sa ketchup nila, kaso sobrang bigat. Pero itong kamote fries ng Enchanted Farm, sa sawsawan talaga ibinuhos ang sarap. Para siyang mayo na may pampaalat na 'di ko mawari ang inilagay. Ayos din ang pagkakahati sa kamote dahil maninipis; hindi nakasasawa. [Kahit sa sunod kong kain duon ay 'yun na laang, solb na.]</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Pagkatapos kong lantakan ang kamote ay 'yung burger na ang aking isinunod. Sa unang tikim ay nakakatuwa rin ang lasa. Hindi ko nalasahan ang gulay sa patty. Pero kalauna'y kaalat na. Pwedeng iulam sa kanin, o ipulutan. At dahil kay tira pang sawsawan 'yung kamote, pinunit ko ang tinapay sa burger ay isinawsaw sa mayo hanggang maubos. Kasarap. Isinabay ko na ang salad sa burger para pampabalanse ng alat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ilang beses ko nang natikman ang salad nila, pero hanggang ngayo'y 'di ko pa rin matuklas kung ano 'yung oil na nilalagay nila. Matam-is-tam-is na parang may 'hint' na maasim. Pag kinakain ko ang side salad na iyon, feeling ko lagi'y ang sustansya ng kinakain ko. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Sa kabuuan ay natuwa ako sa aking kinain. Ramdam ko'y sulit naman. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gusto ko namang subukan sa sunod 'yung all veggie burger nila. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mula sa manamis-namis na tinapay hanggang sa tamang alat ng keso, lahat ng sangkap ay perpekto para sa putaheng ito. Ang karneng manok ang nagsisilbing pantanggal-umay sa pasta. Dinadagdagan naman ng keso ang kabuuang lasa nito. At kung nauumay na sa alat ay nandiyan ang tinapay. Perpekto. :3</span><br />
