We had lunch at Kamayan sa Palaisdaan Tayabas today (this is the Main branch of the Kamayan sa Palaisdaan at Bay). I was expecting that there would be few people there since it was a thursday, but when we got there I was wrong. The parking was fulll of cars. And when we went inside there were no waiters to greet us. They probably did not expect the influx of customers. We ordered the following, Sinigang na Sampaloc (lacks sourness), Crispy Tadyang (the one served at Bangus is better but this one is way way cheaper), Inihaw na Talong (the bagoong isda which accompanied the talong tasted funny), Inihaw na Hito (Delicious!!), Rice and fresh buko juice. Overall it was a good lunch. Food quality is the same as their branch in Bay, Laguna. "Sent via BlackBerry from Smart"

I usually do not like Pan Pizza but this Pizza from Lucban is an exception. It is Ground Zero Pizza. Their store is located in the Center of Lucban, just across Dealo Koffee Klatch. I ate the pizza when it was cold, it was already good. When i toasted it, it was even better. This is another reason which will make me go back to Lucban.

Everytime we are in Lukban, Quezon we never fail to buy something, or eat at Dealo Koffee Klatch. Their foor here is affordable and delicious. Their specialty here is the Pancit Lukban (the best i have tasted!) and Longaniza. Their Broas and Meringue are my favorites. The meringue just melts in your mouth. They have 2 types of Meringue, the one in plastic pouches and the other one served in plastic cups, the one in plastic cups is just unforgettable! I wish I bought more of their meringue.

Stepping stone at Ugu Bigyan, made of Concrete and shaped like a leaf! One of the Open Pavillions inside Ugu Bigyan I thought I had missed the Annual Birthday Sale of Ugu Bigyan. Ondoy had wrecked havoc so I thought there would be no sale anymore. When we arrived at Ugu Bigyan's. The lady there (who looked like a relative of Ugu) told us that the Sale was extended!! What good news for me. I think it was Ugu's 44th Birthday so all items had a 44% Discount!! I was in search for my a big bowl which I can turn into a sink. I found one bowl which I liked, but problem is how to put a hole in it. Then the lady said that they had sinks at their store room. There were around 3 designs to choose from. I just chose the simplest one with the sampaguita flowers. the sink was priced at 8000. I forgot the exact price but this is the discounted price. Ugu Bigyan's Studio is located in Tiaong, Quezon Province. Their Contact Number is +63425459144.
