Negros' Summer Capital (Don Salvador Benedicto, Negros Occidental)

When you mention the place Negros, images of Sugar Cane fields will always come to mind. Never will you equate Negros to Pine Tree Lined Highways. But there exists in Negros a Town which you will never think you will find in Negros. A town which boasts of a Pine Tree Lined Highway, Rice Terraces, Cool Weather and much more.

Don Salvador Benedicto town in Negros Occidental is an Hour away from Bacolod City. Once the road starts to Zig Zag you will know that DSB is not far behind. A Lion stands proudly to welcome you to DSB. And from there you will be 

Lion built by the Lions Club to welcome
Travellers to Don Salvador Benedicto
given a sweeping view of endless Green Mountains. Along the way you will also get to see Rice Terraces built on the foot of the Mountains and you will think if you were in Negros or in Banaue.

Don Salvador Benedicto's Pine Tree Lined Highway is trully a sight to behold specially in Negros where you will see Sugar Cane's left and right.

On both sides of the highway are charming houses like what you will see in other countries.  This is a Town which is still untouched by commercialism, and it should remain so.

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.
