The Original AA BBQ

When in Cebu, have a taste of Cebuano barbecue of all kinds at The Original AA BBQ!  They have the food and atmosphere of a resto yet their prices are streetwise.  Sanitary is 100% guaranteed so there's no need to worry about salmonella nor E. coli.  Branches are just everywhere in the city so may it be breakfast, lunch, dinner or late-night hang-out, you'll surely have that satisfying meal.  It's not only barbecue that they serve.  Fish, pork, chicken, veggies.  Sauteed, grilled, stewed.  Name a Filipino dish and they also have it!

After visiting the Temple of Leah, we were famished from the tour so we had AA for late lunch.  Papa liked the fish tinola so much!  The fish was so fresh and the soup was so umami.  I just forgot the name of the fish though.  The spicy chorizo de Cebu was really tasty and didn't taste like food coloring nor food preservative.  The pork belly was so tender, fish, chicken, pork, and chicken liver skewers were really good.  Additionally, the ngohiong tasted really Chinesy especially its sauce.

We were glad that we chose The Original AA BBQ upon descending from the top of Busay.  Thanks to our habal-habal motorcycle drivers to and fro the temple for dropping us off at AA!  #tosomeats #tosomtravels

Temple of Leah

The famous landmark in India, Taj Mahal was built by the Mogul emperor Shah Jahan as the final resting place of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal in 1632. ( Wikipedia ) In the same way, The Ruins in Bacolod was built by the sugar baron Don Mariano Ledesma Lacson in memory of his beautiful Portuguese wife, Maria Braga in 1911. ( theruins.com.ph ) What's the common denominator? Both architectural structures were built in the name of love! And just last 2012, another manifestation of love was built in Cebu by business tycoon Teodorico S. Adarna as a symbol of his undying love to his beauty queen wife, Leah Villa Albino-Adarna.

The Temple of Leah as it is called is located in the highlands of Busay, Cebu City. In getting there through public transportation, starting off at JY Square in a cab would cost you P600 for 1-4 pax though the meter would only read P150 -P200. Vice versa, it would be a very pricey taxi ride for P1,200! However, there are also cheaper yet uncomfy and risky  habal-habal  motorcycle rides that would take you for P150 for 1-2 pax and to further calculate, P300 for the roundtrip. And since we were 5 persons during our trip last month, we just had the latter for a total of P900! What a very excessive price for transportation alone though we saved P300 but as soon as we got to the temple, we realized that it was all worth the pesos!

In contrary to the transpo cost, entrance fee to the temple is free for senior citizens and children of 10 years and below. But for us middle-aged, it's only P50 that will not definitely hurt the pocket. Since papa and mama are already seniors, we only paid P150. By the way, if you wish to have your prenup or debut pictorials, fee is P2,500 for the maintenance cost of the place.

Though Temple of Leah is still work in progress, it is already grandiose in its rawness state. Ancient Greece, classical Rome, and romantic France are fused into one ostentatious site that awakened the curiosity of passers-by who took effort in climbing up the hill just to have a peep. The owner saw the keenness of such passers-by so he just allowed them to enter and marvel in the place for free. That's according to one of our habal-habal drivers. Eventually, through word of mouth and social media, Cebuanos flock to the area for picture-taking. And since we want checking-in and instagramming the latest and hottest locations nowadays, the temple instantly became a tourist attraction that explains the charges as mentioned above.

As you enter the intricately-designed arc of the gate, you will not be impressed by the uphill walk but once you get to the platform, you'll be greeted by a vast space. It's a very wide veranda with a Roman fountain at the center. It looks like the Trevi Fountain of Rome with its four horses and three maidens but it's rather smaller. (As if I've seen the actual Trevi Fountain. Haha!) It's made ​​of white marble which reminds me of the elegantly-carved masterpieces I've seen in Hai Duong Province, Vietnam last summer.

There are also love seats around the balcony. The owner must be very generous in welcoming guests who are anticipatingly "lovers" by providing them a very romantic venue for their date. Lovers can swear their endless love to each other over the top of the city. With that, it must be love on top which is closer to the moon and the stars come nighttime. Now, that's even more romantic! <3

Aside from the love seats, maiden statues of lamp posts are everywhere too. They are like guardians to the lovers so one will not break his / her promise to the other. Hehe ....

Then the grand temple welcomes you with a wide flight of steps and two giant lions by the sides. The experience was just exhilarating that I could imagine walking into Greece's Parthenon with its gigantic columns and elaborate flooring.

At the middle of the great hall, another flight of stairs takes you to the bronze statue of Leah. It has a colored glass mosaic backdrop of angels with musical instruments. But what's odd in the area are the big Chinese porcelain vases that in my opinion, sabotaged the European get-up and ambiance of the place.

However, the luxurious Victorian stairwells by both sides of the statue lead to the rooftop which houses the glass pyramid that depicts the one in Louvre Museum, Paris. It's smaller of course but serves its purpose 'coz just like in the Da Vinci's code, under the Louvre Pyramid is the holy grail.

             

And that's the essence of the Temple of Leah - to serve as a reminder of  Leah  Villa Albino-Adarna, grandmother of the Star Magic artist, Ellen Adarna. To house the memories of her, various collections she procured in her lifetime are in the chambers of the temple. But as I've said, the temple is still work in progress so I just took photos from the windows of such royal chambers 'coz it is still restricted.

With the flamboyance of the temple, Teodorico Adarna indeed executes his great love to his wife.  Though the temple does not serve as the final resting place of Leah as the Taj Mahal and also does not serve as a way of coping up Teodorico's loss as The Ruins, it is in itself LOVE.  A love undying and devotion ceaseless.  Now that truly testifies "'till death do us part" which is already a forgotten vow by some in our changing world today! 

Moreover, it's not only the Adarna family who come into the place to reunite and bond  but also other "commoner" families like us. The temple made us experience Europe which is a really big deal for us 'coz going to Europe is still impossible for us (as for the moment). It would spell a million pesos to work for my entire lifetime! Haha ..... So, thanks to the Adarna family for being so generous in sharing their treasures to the general public.

I'm looking forward for the  Temple of Leah to be done. If it's already breathtaking when it's not yet finished, how much more if it already has its final touches. If you plan to visit the temple, it's best to do it by late afternoon so you can enjoy the gentle breeze of highland Cebu. Just be careful in your every step and for falling debris 'coz again, the site is still under construction.  But I do not say that it's not safe to go there. There are restricted areas and once labeled "restricted", do not enter.  Just follow rules and refrain from standing on top of anything and doing vandalism.  Let's show respect to the temple and to the owner.  Go in packs or have solo your lovey dovey. Surely, you can feel the magic and love of this another enchanting manifestation of love!  More of #tosomtravels next time! :)

Dakasi

I love love love teas as I've been reiterating every now and then here in my blog!  Teas of all kinds, from different roots, in all flavors, hot or cold.  I am just so overly addicted to tea!  If there is a good addiction in this world, it would definitely be my penchant for teas.  So every time I pass by any tea shop or kiosk, I never hesitate to check and taste what each offers. 

It's visible to us that nowadays, tea shops and kiosks are getting plenty so as it is the fad especially the milk teas.  It is very affordable to put up such kind of businesses 'coz raw materials are sold at the very cheap cost.  However, we have to be careful in choosing the right milk teas that will be good to our physical bodies because 1. the tea might not be properly steeped that can give it a high toxic level, 2. some of the raw materials especially the flavorings and tapioca pearls are synthetically made, and 3. such raw materials are generally made by low-cost manufacturers in China.  So, don't gamble your health over cheap milk teas in mall stalls or just-around-the-corner food stands.  Know the brand first before checking-in and tasting just like the one we tried in Ayala Terraces Cebu last month.  It was not only thirst-quenching but also gave us a whole new experience to tea!   

So Dakasi was the name!  Dakasi is a Chinese term which means "big cast".  Their logo star I presume, symbolizes a "celebrity" star which plays the main character of the story.  Through its wide array of selection, Dakasi truly is a big cast of stars that entertains us in having some quality tea time pleasure.

Unlike any other milk teas around, Dakasi's have their origin from Taiwan.  Every ingredient they have is fresh from the pick!  In fact, 1. they brew just enough tea to be consumed right away, 2. they do not let it set for hours just like the tapioca pearls that they replenish every three hours, and 3. they even make their own sugar and ice to ensure maximum protection for optimum cleanliness.  Just imagine that!  Isn't it amazing to know how such a tea shop thinks of the welfare of its customers?  You would definitely feel loved once you get to taste a cup of Dakasi!

In our visit, I tried the Jasmine Milk Tea as it is my favorite and very rare to find.  It is smooth, creamy, milky (of course), aromatic, therapeutic, and not too sweet.  I certainly enjoyed every sip of it!  Papa had hot Kumquat Green Tea, Mama loved the Okinawa Milk Tea and cousin Cang2x tried Dakasi Bubble Milk Tea and she said that the pearls are not rubbery as the others.  They're soft and chewy and plenty in the serving!  Hehe.....

So, up for some quality tea?  Never mind the splurge and go for the natural and fresh teas of Dakasi!  Visit their FB page here for their menu and list of branches nationwide and all over Asia!  :)

La Vie Parisienne

And here's the wine shop where Oak and Beans of Ozamiz got its concept from, La Vie Parisienne or "The Paris Life".  This is just adjacent to The Pink House where it functions as a French bakery, deli, and wine library.  Oh, the smell of freshly-baked French pastries wafts in the air the moment you step into its front door that directs your nose right into the goodies!  Croissants, mille-fueille, leek quiche, merveilleux chocolat, macarons, etcetera, etcetera, oh la la!  I may not be a sweets-loving person but I couldn't help getting a helping of these sinful treats.  They are just a sight to behold, a mouth-watering feast you want to devour right away! 

      

On the other hand, the delicatessen has an assortment of French delicacies straight from the country of romance, perfume, and wine.  They have specialty oil, vinegar, mustard, salad dressings, pasta sauces, cheeses, and others - all imported products that are not as costly as the ones found in local grocery stores.  Now you can cook your favorite Italian pasta, Greek salad, and Spanish gazpacho conveniently with ingredients already made accessible to you by M. Lhuillier Wine and Food.

Speaking of wine, La Vie Parisienne's wine library has so much to offer!  From top brands to Lhuillier's collection of signature wines, varieties of white and red, coming from different countries of origin - they just have 'em all.  The wine cellar is too full from floor to ceiling that you can consider researching and be inspired to study winery and get a degree on oenology.  Just take a look at the photo below.  If you want something in particular, you can have it right away!

    
Good food matched with the perfect wine is the best way to spend quality time with your loved ones at La Maison Rose, World Pizza, and La Vie Parisienne.  Now you might think that coming here will leave a hole in your pocket.  Well, it won't.  For this lovely dinner didn't cost us an arm and a leg.  Of course, there are those selected wines and dishes that are pricey - you know, fit for the elite and socialite.  But most in the menu are reasonably priced for every Juan.  

The pizza we ordered is so Italian that ordinary us didn't have a liking for it.  There's also pizza sisig and pizza adobo by the way that we Filipinos can definitely enjoy eating.  Will be ordering that next time.  But it's great to taste something foreign and extraordinary, right?  Hehe.....  Meanwhile, all of us agreed that the chicken dish which I forgot its name is perfect to our taste buds as well as the carbonara.  It is very tasty, creamy and cheesy.  The pasta in olive oil is just like pancit said papa but I liked it.  Plus the wine!  The red wine just pulled everything off!    

So cheers to papa and mama's good health!  Thank God for all the blessings, thank God all is well! :)

If you wanna experience something high-end and sosyal without feeling intimidated, visit La Vie Parisienne.  It's the perfect place to dine and wine with your family, friends, and special someone.  I guarantee you, it is an overly romantic venue for a date especially at the rooftop under the moonlit sky with twinkling stars.  Have that Parisian dream come to life that suits your budget!  Live that Parisian dream!  The wine just got into me in the following photo.  Hehe.....

For authentic French cuisine, visit La Maison Rose just along the highway at 371 Gorordo Avenue, Lahug, Cebu City.  Also like La Vie Parisienne on FB here!  #tosomtravels #tosomeats

World Pizza: Around the World in 80 Pizzas

As promised yesterday, let me now take you to the pretty garden of La Maison Rose!  Before opening La Vie Parisienne (which I'll be blogging about tomorrow) in 2013, La Maison Rose's garden was a vast lawn of greens dotted with flowers of vibrant colors.  As guests started to flock into the place, the pink house and the bakery cannot accommodate everyone at all.  So they expanded to the patio and the garden, offering more seats for everybody to be served comfortably.

The garden is breathtaking with its fancy miniature trees with pink flowers and leaves which look like Japan's cherry blossoms.  There are carriage-like shelters that also look like igloos if you want an airy outdoor lunch.  Tables and chairs are cozy and really cute, making you feel like sitting outside a café in Paris.  With the late afternoon sun, it is absolutely an ideal setting for an English afternoon tea!  My blogger idol Laureen Uy had her outfit pose here so might as well also have mine.  Hehe.....

     

Additionally, Louis Thevenin, the director of AFC/general manager added a pizza kiosk named World Pizza.  It promises to bring you around the world with its 80 pizzas from different countries.  They come in different types, flavors, and of course, experience!  We ordered the pizza of the month, Napoleon (if I'm not mistaken).  It is topped with anchovies, olives, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses.  It was served hot from their wood-fired oven which added a more traditional taste to the pizza.  You can even see how your pizza is being made right inside the kiosk!

  

While waiting for our order to be served, we goofed around for fun pictorials!  Once there, you can't help but to strike poses in all four corners of the garden.

By night, the place becomes more charming with its colorful lights.  Glowing shades of blue and pink dominate the place, making it inviting from the outside.  Much more, it becomes romantic with the background music.  With the endearing scenery, good food, and Parisian ambiance, I highly recommend this place for lovey-doveys out there!

It is best to visit the place by late afternoon so you can have a feel and a fill of it both by daytime and by nighttime.  Watch out for my post tomorrow for our evening wining and dining at La Vie Parisienne! :)

La Maison Rose

La Maison Rose is famous in Cebu as "The Pink House" which was the former ancestral house of one of the city's most prominent family, the Velez's.  Completed in 1939, the house held a number of lavish banquets until 2006 when the family didn't live in the place anymore.  The house became unoccupied for 6 years until Louis Thevenin, the director of Alliance Française de Cebu took over.  Then the house became a French hub of the Queen City of the South, hosting a French language school, French cultural center and in July 2012, a French restaurant was also opened.  (Zee Lifestyle Cebu, 2012 and Inquirer.net, 2012)

Outside its gate, the place just looks ordinary and uninviting.  But as the saying goes, "Do not judge the book by its cover", there's actually a gem hidden inside the unappealing façade.  It's like going into the wilderness and finding Sleeping Beauty's castle or going into the woods and finding the witch's house of candy.  So I was glad for not looking at the outside appearance!

Inside, a tranquil ambiance invites you in.  The dimly-lit atmosphere sets you in the mood for an intimate talk with your company.  As an art lover, I goshed all over the place!  The resto boasts of a mix of French and Indo-China interiors and stepping in brings you back to the 30's.  The house is very well preserved.

There were antique items, lovely paintings, stylish lampshades, and the precious piano from the residential house of the owners, Michel and Amparito Lhuillier, another Cebu's prominent family.  Michel, the honorary consul of France also owns the famed M. Lhuillier of the country and proud dad of the world-renowned fashion designer, Monique Lhuillier.

Stepping into a place like this will definitely make you dress up to eat.  Though they don't have dress code, you'll fell the urge of donning your best for the chic place.  Moreover, old meets new in this posh resto for they also have iPad menus and the bill comes in an Eiffel Tower coffee-book-like bearer.  Overall, La Maison Rose is just so so charming which reminds me of the fancy French bistro I visited in Vietnam, the Green Tangerine Cafe and Restaurant.

Stay tuned tomorrow as I take you to a tour to La Maison Rose's garden and will be sharing to you our food experience as well!

2nd Siomai Festival sa Tisa 2015

Location:  a certain hospital somewhere in Manila

Year:  1988 (I was 6 years old)

Scenario:  me talking to the doctor after getting my X-ray

Dockie:  So, nakakain ka na ng lunch?

Me:  Yes po.

Dockie:  Ano'ng kinain mo?

Me:  Bilog po.

Dockie:  Ha?  Hehe....  Sa'n kayo kumain?

Me:  Sa tapat lang po paglabas ng hospital.

Dockie:  Ah, sa Chinese restaurant.  Siopao?

Me:  Hindi po.  'Yung maliit lang.

Dockie:  Junior siopao?

Me:  Mmmm.  'Di rin po.

Dockie:  Malagkit ba?  Matamis?  Buchi?

Me:  No po.  Ewan ko po ano 'yun.  Basta bilog, maliit, nilalagyan ng toyo at kalamansi.

Dockie:  Alam ko na!  Siomai 'yun!

And that's how I came to know the magic word SIOMAI!  It was by far, the most delicious food I tasted in that old Chinese restaurant.  So I started liking getting up so early at dawn para lumowas ng Maynila from Lipa, Batangas for my check-ups way back then.  Luckily, Chinese food is Daddy Charles' favorite so go lang si Mommy Becky kung ano ang gusto ni Daddy.  Then I ordered siomai, siomai, and more siomai!  It was my reward for fasting, skipping breakfast, that is for the lab tests, ultrasound, etc. that I'm going to undergo for the day.  From then on, siomai has become one of my favorite foods ever!

Location:  Treasure Island Industrial Corp., Cebu

Year:  2006 (I was a fresh grad from college)

Scenario:  me talking to my colleague at work

Her:  Lami kaayo mag pungko2x.

Me:  Ha?  Nganong magpungko man ka nga sakit man na sa tiil.

Her:  Hahaha!!!!!  Lahi man gud ang pungko2x ngari sa Cebu.  Kanang mangaon sa kilid2x ba.

Me:  Ay.  Sorry gud.  Unsa man puy kaonon?

Her:  Ngohiong, barbecue, siomai.  Hala!  Dugay na kaayo ko wa kakaon ug siomai sa Tisa!

Me:  Tisa?  Sa Labangon?

Her:  O.

Me:  Kada adlaw man ko moagi diara.

Her:  Tan-awa ra gud ni sya oh.  Kada adlaw man diay ka dira unya wa jud ka kabaw.

Me:  Kana laging sa daplin lag dalan?  Unya lami pud?

Her:  Super!

And that's how I became addicted with Siomai sa Tisa!  Every time I went home from a very long day at work, I dropped by at Tisa to buy siomai and just walked my way to Mama Dita's house when I was still staying with her.  Siomai sa Tisa is just soooo love especially the chili sauce that is spicy to the max!  Ika nga, in vain ang siomai 'pag walang sauce.  It is the flavorful sauce that gives the siomai its very unique and distinct taste.  All-in sweet, salty, and spicy plus a squeeze of calamansi to make it tangy.  This is just so yummylicious!  In fact, I can eat 25 pieces of siomai in just one setting as long as the sauce is unlimited with a very cold soda in waiting!  Haha!  Oh, God!  Just by imagining this makes me wanna go back to Cebu for a heavenly taste of Siomai sa Tisa again!  

        

Fortunately, it was perfect timing that we went to Cebu last week for Papa and Mama's check-up because it was the 2nd Siomai Festival sa Tisa 2015!  The festivities lasted for a week in honor of the barangay's patron saint, San Lorenzo Ruiz.  It was like a mini Sinulog with all the street dancing, fireworks display, and street party they had!  

The whole of Labangon participated in the revelry because the district was already known to the world as the way tugpahay street food high-street!  If Singapore has Jalan Makanan, so is Cebu with its Siomai sa Tisa!  Day or night, rain or shine, all stalls are ready to serve you with the bestest siomai in town!  They also serve hot and spicy pancit canton, chicharon, and very cold cola!  Ika nga ni cuzzy Cang2x, makamatay ug dali sa cholesterol!  But who cares?  It's just a treat for yourself once in a while!  Just don't do it often, OK?

     

Thanks to Cang2x for bringing us to the Siomai Festival!  And thanks to the little brother/sister of Ryan of PBB 737 for the photo op! :)

More festivals to come, dear blog readers! :)  #tosomtravels

Where We Stayed and Ate in Oslob

Along the shoreline of Brgy. Tan-Awan in Oslob where whale shark watching is getting popular, are resort hotels that have the potential to be acclaimed internationally as foreign guests flock into the province to encounter our butanding.  Sad to say, that means being unaffordable to Filipino citizens like us.  However, there are locals who open their houses for travelers on a budget either foreign or not.  And one of these homestays is Chateau de Tan-Awan of Ate Veny.

   

Chateau de Tan-Awan is just right across Tan-Awan Elementary School.  Just tell the driver of the bus or jeepney you're riding on to drop you off at the school and you will see the place right away.  Then you will be welcomed by Ate Veny's huge rabbits!

  

The place is well-kept which is a charming blend of modern American and native Filipino interiors.

You can choose rooms of fan or air-conditioned.  Dormitory-type with fan is P1,800, fan room is P2,100, and air-conditioned room is P2,700, all good for 6 pax.  Their rooms are spacious and if you are in a big group, an additional of P450 per head is charged. 

   

Breakfast is at P125 per pax and it's up to you if you will have brekky there or not.  But I suggest that you must to power up your day in the beautiful town of Oslob!

All of us felt so homey at Ate Veny's homestay for she is also very hospitable to her guests and entertains her guests very well.  It was like spending a night at a Tita's house.

We slept straight really well that night especially our baby Shang2x.  For reservations at Chateau de Tan-Awan, text or call Ate Veny at 09179127783.  She replies instantly to your queries.  Thank you, Ate Veny and staff for the good night rest in your place! :)

Apart from Ate Veny's, there ain't no cheap eats in Oslob.  Even a nipa hut carenderia serves food at some high costs.  But per Ate Veny's recommendation, we tried Paul & Madz.  

Paul & Madz is just in the neighborhood of Ate Veny which is a restaurant, bar, and souvenir shop in one place.  Prices are high, food is not ample especially the platter rice, service is slow.  But, a big BUT!  Food is great!  Their food is really delicious, scrumptious, tasteful, giving justice to the price.  Though we waited enough, it was worth it.  I could have waited to taste their grilled squid again and again!

Bring some souvenirs from the journey!  Get whale shark magnets and key chains for your loved ones left at home.

Visit the south of Cebu and be surprised by its amazing still-to-be-discovered wonders! :)  #tosomtravels
