Recovery Food

After a party night out, sober place to be is McDonalds.
But not anymore.

Recovery Food


Recovery Food is the newest place to be after a long fun hard rock party you and your friends had. It has been always McDonalds because its 24 Hours.
 But guess what Recovery Food it 24 Hours. And the meaning behind why is it called Recovery Food? Is for you to recovery up from your drunkenness and sober up.




However, I didn't go there drunk. I was with friends after their Simbang Gabi. 




Recovery Food is under Mamou which is one of the top steak restaurants in the Philippines  As you can see, the cook's caps are Mamou. Cool ey?




Dishes in Recovery Food are awessssome. 
They serve Filipino morning food. Like tapa, rice bowls and others. You might think that it just might taste like the usual Tapa King and stuff, but no its not. Recovery Food's meat is soo tender. Their tapas are home made that is why its so fresh and good.





Tapa de Morning
If you still want to drink up, they serve beers too. Help yourself :D




Recovery Food is not just your ordinary dinning place. 
Either your drunk or just sad. 
It helps you recover. Somehow.

Pico De Loro

Unfold paradise in 
Pico De loro






Hidden at the outermost part of Nasugbu Batangas, Pico De Loro is a Beach and County Club that offers a distinctive exclusivity and privacy of a leisure club.


Familiar with PuntaFuego and Munting Buhangin?
You'll get to pass by those known resorts on your way to Pico De Loro. Its the same old route you take. SLEX - Tagayatay - Nasugbu or Cavite - Tagayatay - Nasugbu. However Pico de Loro is an additional 30 minutes from Punta Fuego and Munting Buhangin. Rough estimate of 2.5-3 hours travel time from Manila, but every minute is worth it as you arrive in paradise.





Pico de Loro is an EXCLUSIVE Beach and Country Club that has residential units as well. As I do my research, membership in Pico de Loro range about  Php 500,000.00 and Condo Units will range around Php 4.5M - 6.5M. Pico De Loro is actually just the beginning of Hamilo Coast's development under SM Land. Yes, Henry Sy. You did it again.

We are not a member and don't know one as well in Pico De Loro.
Wonder how we got IN?

Some people who bought condo units in Pico de Loro use it as their rest house, family house, vacation house and since MOST of them of course don't stay that often in Pico De Loro because they do have jobs and own errands here in the Metro, they use it as their "extra-kick" business. How? By "FOR RENT".

Yes, that is correct. For RENT. Fully furnished condo units for rent for those people who, well, can't afford the membership.

My friend was the one who was able to look for this condo unit for rent at Sulit.com

Php 5,500.00 per night
  • Check in 2PM / out 2PM
  • Good up to 4-6 Persons
  • 1 Queen size bed
  • 1 Sofa Bed
  • Plasma LED TV with Cable and DVD
  • Kitchen with utensils, plates, plates mats, glasses, rice cooker, refrigerator, cooking pans and etc.
  • Balcony with dinning table
In short, FULLY FURNISHED with a very classy interior and CLEAN.







At first, when my friend told me that we are going to rent a condo owned by a member in Pico de Loro, I was hesitant. What if its not clean? What if its old? What if it smells like old wet towels kept inside an old closet? But every "what if" that I had in my mind changed. Its is way better than a hotel room. My friend told me that both the care taker and the owner was nice and if you have any questions at all, you can just call or text them up. 

Kitchen is complete with utensils, plates, plates mats, glasses, rice cooker, refrigerator, cooking pans and etc.That's why we just brought our own food and cooked it their. Raw meats and some rice husked good for dinner by Tuesday, breakfast and lunch by Wednesday.

For more info about the condo visit their Facebook page at 
https://www.facebook.com/PicoDeLoroBeachResortCondo?fref=ts

Besides the rent which again cost Php 5,500.00, you would need to pay Php 500.00 each person for the like "entrance fee" of guests for your access within the vicinity, beach and pool. Hey, its better than paying an estimated amount of Php500,00.00 for Pico de Loro's 

FUN DAY PASS!!
Luckily during our stay they have an existing promo for both guest and members.
 For only 1,500.00 each person, you get to enjoy a LOT of water, indoor and outdoor activities to be used within the next 24 hours.Membership right?




Arrived Tuesday. Late 3pm. Settled our room, things and entrance stuff around 5pm. So we decided to do all activities by tomorrow. Morning will be for water activities and indoor outdoor by afternoon after we check out from the room.

Tuesday night, we enjoyed their infinity pool located at the Beach Country Club. It was nice and clean. Like very clean in every tile. Just make sure you are in PROPER swimming attire. Yes, they are strict about it.

Our dinner after a good and cold night swim. Thanks to Kuya JM's cookiiing!



Early Mornings
Woke up sooo early in the morning. Around 5AM, i think. Well I intend to wake up that early so I can get to shoot Mr. Sunrise. Again, Kuya JM prepared breaaakfast. 




Time to hit the beach!

Our Php 1,500.00 per person includes:

  • Water Taxi
  • Banana Boat
  • Kayak
  • Snorkeling
  • Paddle Boat
  • Bowling
  • Billiards
  • Playground
  • Karaoke

Water Taxi is quite a lot like island hopping. Well its a speedboat that roams around. You get to see the islands surrounding Pico De Loro. This is the water activity I enjoyed the most.

Watami Casual Japanese Restaurant

Looking for a new Japanese Restaurant for your cravebuds?




Watami Philippines

Watami provides Japan’s enjoyable and sophisticated causal restaurant at reasonable prices with friendly services with over 700 international branches. Mostly Asia of course. Luckily are we Filipinos they opened their first branch in Philippines last November 10, 2012.

Honestly, I did not know any thing about Watami prior to its opening but thanks to Bistro's text blast about Watami's Promo was able to experience their oh so fine food.




What is the promo all about then?
50% OFF FROM YOUR TOTAL BILL. 


Expecting a lot of people that will be coming like Bulgogi's opening day, we went in early. Its opens at 10am. We went in 10:30am. Few people were in there. But just after 30mins it  was jam packed. Well I won't wonder. Who Filipino will miss a promo like that?



OISHI

The Japanese word I do believe we all know. Dishes in Watami are all good. All of their meat are fresh and juicy. You can smell the aroma of meat when its being grilled. 

I'm SORRY.
 The names and prices of the following food below is placed in
 my friend's iPhone that we need to reformat cause she is going to sell it.
So its alllll gone. Rest assured all of them taste G R E A T.










Food in Watami is beyond your ordinary Tokyo-Tokyo Restaurant however not that much to expect if you will compare it to other Fine Japanese Restaurant. But food is great and very affordable. Maybe that's the reason why its named as Watami "Casual" Japanese Restaurant.
