Well, we decided to order their special for that day – the spaghetti with meatballs and grilled burgers (forgot the  name). Unfortunately when we went their, they run out of lettuce and other green leafy vegetables but it was still yummy and delicious.

The place is really small. It can only accommodate 15-25 people but the ambience is really relaxing. The interior is filled with paintings showcasing the famous landmark of Silay. The food is superb! Their specials are different everyday so you’re for a treat everytime you are at Café 1925. Their brewed coffee is also good.

Aside from pastas, sandwiches and desserts Café 1925 also offer fresh salads for the health conscious and for those on the Diet-to-Go.

Well, I would recommend the place to everyone. So, if you’re in Silay or Bacolod never miss going to Café 1925 Silay.

How to Get There:

Café 1925 is located at J. Pitong Ledesma Street in Silay City. It’s located at the back of BPI and just around the corner of El Ideal.

From Bacolod: Just ride a jeepney or bus going South, just tell the driver that you’re going down at BPI Silay Branch. After that just walk a few steps at the corner and you will see the signage of Café 1925.

From Bacolod-Silay Airport: Ride a tricycle or a shuttle and tell the driver that you’ll be going down at BPI Silay Branch corner.

2. Toiletries / Medicine – Just bring travel-sized versions of shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush in a zip-lock bag. Well, for liquids just put it in a small bottle, 3 ounce to be exacts for you to be able to hand-carry it. Then also pack some first aid kit and your medicine. It is prescribed by your doctor just bring the prescriptions for custom inspection procedure if ever.

3. Chargers and Adapters – Well, if you’re traveling abroad you should definitely bring this. You don’t want to miss out on your photo op right? And never plug your chargers directly into a wall outlet without asking the hotel front desk or the owner (if you’re staying with friends and family) for some need a voltage converter. You don’t want your charger to explode right?

4. Guidebook and Maps – This will be very useful when you are traveling. A map will guide you to all the local places to see, while the guidebook could help you with shopping, events, best places to go, best restaurant and could help you with some local handy words.

6. Gadgets (iPods, Netbook, camera) - this will come in handy during a long travel/drive and for passing time. Also bring cameras to document and capture your adventure.

7. Good Book – Bring one so that you have something to do if you get stranded and during the long wait so you won’t get bored.

8. Money Belt/Neck Pouch – Aside from a daybag or purse, bring one of this for your money and passport.

9. Comfortable Shoes – You don’t want to ruin your trip with blisters right? So, pack comfortable shoes since you will have a lot of walking to do in exploring the place.

10. Insect Repellents / Sun Block – Always bring Insect repellents to protect you from mosquito bites that can cause serious illness such as malaria, dengue and AH1N1. And sun block is to protect your skin from sun’s damaging rays.
