Jala Jala, Rizal

I always wondered what Jala Jala looked like. Today I was able to see this municipality. Jala Jala is a sleepy town located after Pililla. they do not have an old church like the other towns in Rizal. There are no Restaurants here (based from what I saw) also. 
Despite this simple way of life in Jala Jala, the untouched beauty of its surroundings more than makeup for the lack of tourist amenities.
Searching for Jala Jala in the Internet, I stumbled upon a link to a Resort in Jala Jala. The resort is Concorsia Vista Resort. (Click on the Resort Name to go to their website)

    I was telling some French in the office that their countrymen has been in the islands for well over a century (if not longer) proof is Jala-Jala which was once administered farms of the French man Paul de la Gironière, a writer, chronicler who contributed great literary works like "Moeurs indiennes et quelques pensées philosophiques pendant un voyage à Majaijai" and "Aventures d'un gentilhomme breton aux îles Philippines".

      Doctor de la Gironiere and his men were also credited with killing the largest crocodile known to man. They hunted it because it was responsible for the deaths of a number of village folk in Jala-Jala.

Aling Pining's Crispy Pata (La Loma, Quezon City)

Image
One of Metro Manila's BEST Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage. I found about Aling Pining's Crispy Pata in a FB Comment a few months ago. The Commenter just said the best Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage in Halcon Street in La Loma. With Just Halcon Street as the address we went to La Loma 2 weeks ago in search of Halcon Street Crispy Pata. When we arrived at Halcon Street we just asked the people there where we can buy Crispy Pata. We passed by it already it turned out. It was indeed just a garage. It had a small sign. Halcon Street Crispy Pata was Aling Pinings Crispy Pata.  An Old Lady was the one frying the Crispy Pata. While a middle aged woman  was the one accepting orders. We bought a Crispy Pata (P400) and we were on our way. At home we were eager to finally taste the Crispy Pata. It did not disappoint. The trip to La Loma was worth it. Is it the best? My mom said the one in Marinduque is still the best. For me? Well i need to go back t...

D' Original Matutina's Seafood Restaurant (Dagupan, Pangasinan)

Image
The first time I heard about Matutina's was a few years ago when it was mentioned in the Inquirer that it is a favorite Restaurant of Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Since it was a long drive just to sample their food I had a hard time adjusting an open schedule just to go all the way to Pangasinan.  This morning we were able to finally find time to go all the way to Dagupan, Pangasinan to sample Matutina's. The one we went to is the D'Original Matutina's in Tondaligan, Dagupan, Pangasinan. They have another branch in Urdaneta Also. There is a Matutina's in Tarlac City but i guess this is not connected with the Matutina's. We Ordered the following: Sizzling Bangus - This was just Delicious. The Bangus was Milky. Meat was just perfect.  Inihaw na Pusit - Grilled to perfection. The Squid was tender. Buttered Shrimps - though it was not the buttter shrimp i wished for, the freshness of the shrimps made it good enough ...

If you are craving for Palabok and Tokwa't Baboy, the best place to go to is Tita Lulu's.  They serve delicious Palabok at Tita Lulu's (Located in front of PureGold Agora, inside the big parking lot). Always say you want the thin noodles when you order Palabok as it is better. The Tokwa't Baboy is equally delicious. Never forget to buy the palabok and tokwa't baboy together as they complement each other.
