I left my heart down south, Bai!

 

It's been a while since I last posted something here, and since there's a goody good blog app available for iPad (and i'm paying for this domain anyway) -- why not use it again.

Anyway, the past vacation that I had was in Cebu and Dumaguete. On a Friday rush hour in the afternoon, we flew from Manila and bid our offices goodbye. It's a long overdue, and I must say that it's a well deserved vacation too. Got in Cebu around 9:30pm and I was so giddy meeting up our friends there to have dinner. A lovely dinner indeed.

The next day, we headed to Dumaguete to meet a friend's family. Staying at this fancy hotel called, Florentina Homes, I was in awe. A perfect place to date too, since Gabby's Bistro has a really nice cozy ambience.

During dinner, I had the best Sizzling Bulalo ( I think they call it Pochero in the Visayas) that I had in my life! This one's from Royal Suites Inn. I had the best Quadruple Chocolate Cake here too but unfortunately, I already finished it even before I can take a photo of it. Sorry.

The next day, we headed to Sans Rival Bistro to try their Mock Fillet Mignon, their famous Sans Rival and get some Silvanas for pasalubong to a good friend in Cebu, and as obvious as it gets -- all we did in Dumaguete was to eat, then sleep, then eat again, take a nap, drink, sleep and eat again. Can't help it. You can't blame us either.

Headed back to Cebu in the evening, had lechon for dinner and had a night cap before hitting the sack. My flight to Manila, is at lunch, so I had to wake up pretty early to roam around Cebu for a while and to have breakfast with a good friend. At lunch, I was dropped off at the airport and I was having separation anxiety while checking in. I wish I should've stayed for another day, at least in Cebu. It was indeed a good vacation. I can't wait to go back. I left my heart down south.

Thanks Dru, Ches, Gabby and to the ever crazy Teves Family. It was awesome!

My schedules for the past week had been really cuhrrrrrazy! Juggling a day job, a business and sidelines is tougher than I thought! And I’m pretty much happy that I got to escape one night with my friends to have a nice dinner!

I’ve been hearing a lot about how great Wee Nam Kee’s chicken rice is so we decided to treat ourselves there. There was a line outside and we pretty much waited around 30minutes for us to be seated. Don’t worry pals, it’s worth the wait.

A friend recommended us to get Wee Nam Kee’s Steamed or the Roasted chicken. Anyway to avoid confusion on what to eat, we ordered both steamed and roasted chickens! Yum!



 

These are both delicious dishes but I personally like the steamed chicken better. It goes well with the mixture of soy sauce and pounded ginger.  I was a little hesitant eating the steamed chicken at first but surprisingly, it’s very tender and flavorful! I’m not surprised why this gets a 2-thumbs up recommendation from friends.

 

Each table has its own tray of condiments. You can either choose to eat your wonderful dishes with soy sauce, pounded ginger or chili or have your own mixture according to your taste buds’ preferences.



We also ordered WNK’s pork chop. Breaded pork slices with a sweet and sour sauce on top.

  

Your whole WNK experience will not be complete if you don’t order their chicken rice! I like this so much! I had 2 cups! So yeah this is a good choice pairing it with their gorgeous dishes.

So there you go! After taking photos of yourselves and your loved ones in the beautiful Ayala Triangle in Makati, you might wanna try Wee Nam Kee.

Happy Eating!
