Hapag Vicentico's Restaurant (Cabanatuan City, Nueva Ecija)

We just came from Vicentico's. I read about this restaurant when we had lunch at Coconut Grill. It was voted as one of the Restaurants with the best Pinakbet.

Vicentico's is housed in an Old House. It is surrounded by Capiz Windows. Flooring is Vigan Tiles. Wood furniture can be found everywhere. They have a choice of Air Con and Non Air Con plus there is also outside dining.



We ordered the following, KareKare, Sisig, Adobo and Chicharon Bulaklak. Plus Halo Halo Special.

Kare-Kare- this is quite unusual as it doesn't use the usual vegetables for karekare. It made use of pumpkin and Cabbage. Only sitaw is the original vegetable. Though this maybe the style here in Nueva Ecija. The peanut sauce has just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess. The beef is tender. Definitely a Must try for Kare Kare Lovers.


Sisig - this is probably one of the best Sisig I have tasted (Actually the BEST). The meat is crunchy. It just had the right amount of mayonnaise. Onions were used generously. One order is not enough. I will definitely order this Dish again.

Hapag Vicentico's Sisig (The Best SISIG in the Country!)


Chicharon Bulaklak - Crunchy and not oily. Not too salty also. A must try if you are not watching your cholesterol.

Adobo - one of the best Adobo's I have tasted served in a Restaurant if not the best. This is an old style adobo. It used egg and onions. The chicken is tender. The sauce just has the right blend.

Halo-Halo - this shares the spot of Aling Taleng's as the Best Halo Halo for me (If Aling Taleng's Halo Halo did not have Kundol, this will be the best for me). The ice is shaved to perfection. None of the whole ice pieces found in other halo halo. The level of sweetness is perfect. Be sure to order the Special instead of the regular as it is definitely special. We ordered the Halo Halo Special but it was not enough so i ordered another one but just the regular one.

Driving all the way from Metro Manila to Cabanatuan just to eat at a Restaurant may be a weird and crazy idea, but if the Food is as good as the Food at Hapag Vicentico's then the trip will be worth it.

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 to

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

Gaston Mansion @ Hacienda Sta Rosalia, Manapla, Negros Occidental

Image
The Gaston Mansion in Hacienda Sta Rosalia located in Manapla was used as the Mansion of the Lorenzo's and referred to as Hacienda Lorenzo in the 1980's Film, Oro Plata Mata. The Gaston Mansion is not as opulent and ostentatious as the other Ancestral Houses in Silay or Talisay Cities. The rooms are small compared to the other Mansions in Silay or Talisay. It definitely was a Countryhome for the Gaston's. --oo00oo-- Facade of the Gaston Mansion at Hacienda Sta Rosalia Eversince I saw this Mansion in Oro Plata Mata i was intrigued as to where this Mansion was. I was in luck as it was in the list of Tours Offered by Next Stop Negros. Price for the tours is P2000 a Person, this includes a Buffet Lunch inside the Mansion and served in the Dining Room of the Gastons. It is P1500 a person if you have your own transportation. Aside the tour of the hacienda, you will also be brought to the different Ancestral Houses which are open to the Public in Silay and
