Apart from the natural beauties of Boracay, modern and chic restaurants are all lined up in grandiose reticence that somehow creates no disparity while resting along the white beach. Indeed, Boracay offers modish creations amidst crude elegance.

Among the eminent and fancy restaurants in Boracay is found at Sur Beach Resort, a beautifully flaunted fine restaurant that naturally elaborates itself with limited rows of native cabanas, promising a more unpretentious and relaxed aura while overlooking the blue sea.

Anyone who wants to eat mango can do so in ad nauseam capacity at the Mango Eat-All-You-Can in Guimaras during its annual Manggahan Festival. Held every summer, the Manggahan Festival is a showcase of the cultural heritage of the province of Guimaras specifically highlighting on its famed “sweet mangoes”, arts and crafts as well as traditions. Through this one-of-a-kind event, the province continues to advocate to its title of being the “Mango Capital of the Philippines.”

Guimaras’ ripe mangoes w/ Ibos

The abundance of mangoes in the province had become more evident with its Mango Eat-All-You-Can, where locals and visitors alike can have their limitless fill of ripe and green mangoes. For 30-minutes, anyone can fulfill their cravings for ripe mangoes, ripe mangoes with ibos (steamed glutinous rice wrapped in young coconut leaves) and green mango with bagoong (fermented fish or shrimps and salt) at a fixed price.

All you can eat ripe mangoes are priced at Php70.00 while pairing it with ibos will let you pay Php85.00. All you can eat green mangoes with bagoong is available at a price of Php40.00. (A good deal for those craving for something sour )

The scene is also very appealing with bamboo chairs in small tents and live music featuring Manggahan Festival’s theme song to give a more enjoyable mood to the participants. What makes it so amusing is the gluttonous ambiance of people eating heaps of whole mangoes in one sitting. In fact, you can eat around six whole mangoes in 30 minutes. (We did so! )

Once you have your fill to a satisfying mango buffet, try also their ripe and green mango shake that is widely spread all over the festival area. You can even have a good lunch in one of the restaurants in their foodfest, where we actually found an interesting pizza version – the Mango Pizza. (Will give more details soon )

Dining at Sunburst’s first restaurant had somehow been a pleasure for us. Sunburst Fried Chicken in Iligan City is situated in a two-storey building along Tino Badelles Street, Mahayahay, Iligan City, where you can find a relaxing restaurant with more or less ten sets of tables and chairs in a warm and homey ambiance. Entering the vicinity would take you back to the classical days of the 80’s where restaurants embellish their tables with printed tablecloth atop a white cloth and chairs are made of wooden materials with solid cushions. Nevertheless, preserving such premise would remind you of how long it has already been serving its devotees, who would constantly come back for its Fried Chicken.

Note: This article was meant for posting when Yogu just opened its doors in Iloilo City almost 2 years ago. Unfortunately, we overlooked this in our draft. Hopefully, this can still become useful to our readers.

The Frozen Yogurt craze has invaded the Philippine cities and Iloilo City is one of them. Few days ago, we had the chance to dine-in in the newly opened frozen yogurt café, Yogu. (They were actually on a dry run when we first went there. Hehe. )

Yogu is very attractive due to the prevailing pink color. The place is rather small, a trailer with only about three to four sets of tiny chairs and tables inside but extended on the porch-like setup just outside the store with an addition to five to six sets of chairs and tables.

How would you feel eating a halo-halo with ice as big as its added ingredients? The small blocks of ice would actually keep you from enjoying your favorite cold treat. Often, we hate spilling some of our ice and ingredients when mixing our halo-halo.

With Bluejay’s special halo-halo, you don’t need to worry about the small blocks of ice. It’s secret ingredient? The very fine shave ice that mixes so effortlessly with other ingredients you actually think you are eating snow. (Kind of… I’m not actually that familiar with snow except what I see on TV…:))
