Kawayan Kitchen Subic

When my brother and his beautiful wife, who both resides abroad came to Manila for a visit, me and my husband stepped into to our tour guide shoes.

We thought it would be cool to bring them to Bataan to visit Las Casas (See related post here Las Casas de Acuzar Bataan Tour)

On our way to Bataan, we decided to make the most of our road trip and took a half day detour to Subic Bay.

We brought them to Magaul Bird Park, a birds amusement park with birds' shows and interaction programs (Check here our wacky-surreal park adventure: VIP Treatment at Magaul Bird Park).

It was almost lunch time, when we finished touring the park so we popped up to the nearest restaurant in sight

~ KAWAYAN KITCHEN

As the restaurant name suggests, Kawayan "Bamboo" Kitchen cooks using bamboo, a technique used by Subic's natives the "Aetas".

Kawayan Kitchen offers varied menu via a forest to table concept experience.

Kawayan Rice (P120)

Sinampalukan "Tamarind Base" Manok (P180)

Lechon Kawali (P199)

I just have to share, how they served our order of  Sinampalukan Manok.

FINAL VERDICT:

• Eating food prepared using bamboo cooking art is a unique experience.   
• Price is very reasonable and servings good for sharing. 
• The place is clean and a portion of the restaurant is air-conditioned.

Eggs for Breakfast Antipolo: Review

My husband loves eggs for breakfast, so when I read about this dainty restaurant ~ I only had to ask him once and we were soon on our way to Eggs for Breakfast (Restaurant).

The restaurant is located inside a compound, about 300meter off the main highway.

Eggs for Breakfast has huge grounds for running about.  It is clean and with a countryside vibe. I picture it would be perfect for an intimate garden wedding.  

A mini pond filled with koi fishes welcomes visitors and guests.

The place is air-conditioned, well lighted.

It is however a bit small with limited.  If you intend to come on a weekend, they do take in reservations ~ and I suggest you do (to avoid disappointments). 

Interiors and décors is rustic and exudes a country home appeal.

 

 

 Service was surprisingly fast.  Attendants were amiable and well versed of the house specials.

We ordered:

Vigan Longganiza (P275) served with eggs, tomatoes and rice.

Bacon-Fried Eggs (P220) served with eggs and a choice of roasted potatoes or garlic rice. 

We were hungry so my husband got an extra order of  Classic Omelette with Tomatoes (P65).

We both had coffee (P95) to finish our meal.

 

 

VERDICT

• Eggs for Breakfast sells ambience.  It was a perfect setting for cup of nicely brewed coffee and hefty breakfast.
• Food was just okay for me and nothing out of the ordinary.  It was also on the expensive side at P200+ and still exclusive of coffee (which was another P95). It would have been nice if the can have coffee or tea options included in their meals already. My husband though can't stop raving about his Vigan Longganiza.
• Staff are very accommodating and service was very efficient.  

Overall, Eggs for Breakfast is worth a try. It levels up ones dining experience by offering good food in a really beautiful surrounding so near the Metro.  If you are heading to Antipolo Cathedral via Sumulong Highway, I suggest you drop by.

Eggs For Breakfast Cafe is located at Velada Estate, 21 Don Juan Street, Villa Cecilia Subdivision, Mambugan, Lower Antipolo City

More than Just Coffee ~ Art Capital Cafe

Have you been to the Art Capital of the Philippines? 

 

Angono Rizal is the famed art capital of the country, home to two of our National Artists ~ Maestro Lucio San Pedro for music and Carlos "Botong" Francisco for arts. 

 

Other known artists from Angono includes Nemiranda, Perdigon, Blanco and Tiamson.

  

Numerous public and private art galleries about in Angono, was not surprised to see a coffee shop in Angono joining the coffee shop cum art gallery bandwagon.

 

Come ~ Art Capital Café (ACC), a home grown local business establishment where you can have your coffee amidst beautiful paintings and art pieces. 

 

 

It was nearing Nov 1, hence the web strings decorated store facade. 

 

 

The place is homey and interesting. Paintings from new and aspiring artists adorn ACC's walls. 

 

The coffee shop has an adjoining gallery, showcasing more art pieces and paintings, the gallery looks promising from the outside, unfortunately we were not able to enter since it was already late when we visited ACC.  

 

I had brewed coffee and shared dessert with my husband.

 

Coffee so aromatic, you know it's good.

For dessert we had Mango Pavlova. 

 

Dessert was very good too.

 

 

 

ACC also serves pasta, sandwiches and all-day breakfast.  Will surely give their these a try when we return.

 

If you are heading to Angono or anywhere near the area, drop by and give ACC a visit.

 

ACC is located along

M.L. Quezon Avenue, Brgy. San Isidro

Angono Rizal

Monday - 4pm to10pm
