Red Coconut Boracay

Boracay's White Beach stretch is actually a stroll along numerous resorts, hotels and restaurants. Deciding where to eat was simply nerve racking.

For our first night in Boracay, we gave Red Coconut (I was looking for red coconuts or slightest hints why the name Red Coconut, didn't find any) a try.

Red Coconut is located at the beach front of Station 2 and is just a few steps away D'Mall.

The bar. Too bad we never got to try it -
with kids, our drinks are mostly limited to water and shakes :P

My boys had strawberry and choco-banana shakes.

Both were spot on, up to the last drop!

We ordered fish and chips (which my youngest wouldn't share) and spiced sea food viand (it was very tasty, what a shame I can't remember what it is called...)

My family love Red Coconut, I don't mind going back and tasting their other dishes.

I have read, they also serve superb oven-baked pizza.

For certain there is going to be a next time.

OMJ (Oh my JONAH's)

Oh, I was so excited to see the well reviewed "Jonah's" fruitshake. I was so thrilled when I walked in to get my first famous Banana-Peanut Shake.

I was a little worried to see, that they serve their shakes in take-out plastic bottles. Hmm, so much for going green...

My order was a little too sweet for my taste.

Maybe I should have just ordered a less fancy fruit shake, maybe then I would have enjoyed it more.

VERDICT: Just average!

I have honestly tasted better shakes... elsewhere... (Red Coconut's Banana-Peanut was way so much better. We also tried their Strawberry, worth every penny.)

Haiz, I passed on my half-finished bottle to my hubby and went our way.

Aqua Fresh - Paluto Restaurant

Two words for Aqua Fresh Boracay: Fresh and Deliciously Sinful (Opps I guess that's three words already)!

Hubby ordered buttered lobster, grilled shrimp and tempura... a little much for two adults really! But we manage to finish everything (takaw max!)

I can just imagine how much calories there is...

Giligiligan Beach

We reached Giligiligan Beach via an Island Hopping tour we

commissioned. There were very few people in Giligiligan in contrast to the White Beach and Puca Beach, which were loaded with tourists (locals and foreigners).

We were happy we were the only ones around. Sand was a little bit rough, but that was okay in exchange for some peace and quiet.

Now this is paradise - serene, calm and peaceful!

water was warm and very inviting

There were about 2-3 restaurants in Giligiligan where you can feast on seafoods by "paluto". We just had our breakfast and were not really hungry so we just had fruit shakes...

see nobody is here...

just our banca - all alone :D

my son enjoying the feel of warm sand under his feet

We love Giligiligan!

This beach was all ours!

Aria Cucina Italia D'Mall Boracay

I was here with my boys for dinner. I guess I just had to see and "taste" for myself what so many others have been raving about.

I was with real hungry boys and ended up ordering Aria pizza, Rissotto allo Scoglio (seafood risotto), carbonara (which was my kids' favorite pasta dish and recently a staple order whenever we eat Italian), mozzarella sticks and tropical shakes.

Price was quite touristy, but I expected that already. Ambience when you walk-in was expensive and there were only a handful of guests (mostly foreigners) inside - so you really chillax, while you wait for your order.

Food quality was good and we enjoyed our meal!

I loved my seafood risotto the most

(keeping the dish mostly to my side of the table - "takaw").

It was very tasty.

The boys finished everything and with just enough space left for dessert.
