In light and hope of finding a new taste of food, Bryan and I traveled and reached Carmen but we are disappointed not to see something new at the place so we headed to Limketkai drive again one  Sunday afternoon. Place was not crowded in Rosario drive during that day obviously it was Sunday. It’s a chance to invade the BFB (Big Flat Bread Pizza Resto) after many attempts of dining in (backed out two times because of the big crowd). Our chosen flavor was heart attack, it’s stuffed with meats and spices that melts your heart for goodness! I must say it’s one of the best pizza I have ever tasted!

We had an awesome time together and glad we had a new bite of pizza

June is here! It’s half of the year and I’m counting what I have done during the past 5 months. Summer is over, have I been enjoying it? Of course I did. Here are the highlights of my summer:

My trip to Camiguin last April

Camiguin Island

I meet some ostrich in Mahinog Provincial Animal Breeding and Ostrich Production Center :D. Thanks to my ever loving friend in Camiguin, it was a joy ride and funny adventure. Our first step was in Mahinog next in katibawasan falls to Sto. Nino cold spring and finally a warm bath at ardent hot spring. We’ve made the travel for just half a day using motorbikes. Che was bringing her cute baby and hubby too.

Katibawasan falls and Sto. nino are must see places when you are in Camiguin. You will be thrilled with the cold water. What I can remember when I think about the place is its coldness.

old church

The old church is a great destination if you are particular about historical places. The municipality built a small church inside the fallen old church (constructed by Spanish priests).

The next morning, Bryan and I explored Mahinog, we eventually reached a restaurant owned by Vjandep which is known for their famuos pastel.

We then dropped at Gingoog City after the trip.

My one and only sister is spending her vacation here in Cagayan de Oro with me. So we had the chance to talk and have quality time to share just anything that’s happening in each lives. You know there are lots of things to catch up since we don’t have much time together since my college days. It’s very rare for me to get home back then for I have to spend an estimated of 6 hours to arrive home. Now, 3 hours ride from home is better than before.

Yesterday came her 15th birthday , we took her in the movie house and after that we dined in the Countryhouse Steakhouse in Limketkai. We enjoyed the foods they served. The place is cozy and it makes you feel you are in a home back in a countryside village.

I wanted to go back to Apple Tree Resort and Hotel in Opol, Misamis Oriental. Just to feel the breeze and enjoy the air the beach has to offer. I love its pool because it has huge space for people who have a height like me hehe. I enjoy learning and practicing swimming there cause I’m assured that I’ll never get drown.They also have jacuzzi beside the pool. Food is great, breakfast is awesome. An experience in the hotel means you’re ‘living a good life’ at the moment

I wanted to escape this scorching heat in the City. Please take me there hehe..

missy bon bon

Remember the gelato stall I blogged last time? I was not attentive to the name of the store because I was focusing on their products. Later after I blogged about gelato I realized the breadshop’s name is Missy Bon Bon. Now they have a convenient and accessible place at Limketkai drive right across Mcdonald’s.

CDObloggers was invited to come to Missy Bon Bon breadshop to have a free breakfast. Everybody is on the look out for the invitation. Mine’s choice is tuna sandwich paired with orange juice.

Bryan got himself a bolognese.

You cannot tell how big his appetite in this pic, lol!

The owner is warm and smiling, the staff is also cozy and attentive to customers. Right after I arrive at the breadshop, what first came to notice is the place which is very vibrant and all white. It is quite striking to my eyes and I was hesitant to move around because the place is new to me but later on I became receptive to it.

If you want to have a pasalubong for your family, I think this is the right place to go. It’s accessible and you have varieties of sweets to choose from for your loved ones.

If you are a sweet food lover, visit the shop. Why not bring your date here, you’ll sweep her heart away. For me its more romantic to have a date early in the morning cause that would give the girl an idea that you want to spend the day first with her

I was in awe for the shop gave some goodies to cdobloggers.

And there, the group picture together with Mr. Henric Yu, the owner.

Here’s venussmileygal striking a pose

I’m starting to love the shop Thanks for the invitation missy bonbon and thanks chiq for welcoming us.

Yesterday is a special day because it marked as the day of our first year of officially dating (Bryan and I of course). Bryan has been the generous type of guy who gives me what I need and sometimes what I want. I became spoiled sometimes but he makes it a point to not tolerate this kind of attitude. As a present for yesterday’s, I slowly opened a small package and ta-da! A wrist watch is revealed and shining right into my very eyes. But I already expect that he’ll give me something (giggles), that is why I look forward to month’s celebration and year’s too! Sounds clever *-* This thought gives me a thrill and enchantment. But hey that is not the reason I’m happy about us, I’m just happy that we make up to our differences and get along and adjust to every situation we have (hope so)

We have revisited Bigby’s Cafe this time, all in all the dinner was great from main dish to drinks and desserts.
Rack a bye baby is such a sumptuous dish. They are right when they brand it ‘you can’t get enough of it’. Perfectly describes how good it taste.

For a sweet treat, here’s fudgy sensation made of brownies and topped with vanilla ice cream.

I’m a halo-halo fan and Jo’s chicken Restaurant in Yacapin Street serves a halo-halo that’s very delightful. Yum!

Our friend Fibe finally said “I do’s” to his partner Mackey and we were invited to witness this important day of their lives as they asked for the blessing of Matrimony. As expected, I’m thrilled to see her don her gown down to the altar, this happens only once in a woman’s life and and this could be the most special event of courtship. But I don’t know what was really on her mind during that day. Wedding was held at San Isidro Labrador Church, Gusa and followed with a fab dinner at De Luxe Hotel.

Congrats Fibe and Macky. Long live your married life!

Thanks for the very quick visit of our client from San Diego California, I finally got the chance to have a superb meal at the Grand Caprice hotel and restaurant the third time during our meeting. First was when we had our quarterly general assembly last August 2008, second was last 2008’s Christmas Party and the latest was last Thursday. Grand Caprice is located at the Limketkai Mall Center vicinity, it has a wide space for fine dining and accepts gatherings at their halls. Thanks for the help of their dedicated service every celebration and gatherings became a success and worthwhile.

In all fairness, their soup was the very best soup I had ever tasted (except mama’s sinabaw :P). No promotional purpose intended for this but really, it was really good. Green leafy veggies, dim sum foods and sea foods are mixed on it that makes it more likeable to sip and devour. Unfortunately I didn’t get the chance to take a picture of it, was busy eating lol!

Here’s a plateful of foods I took after our meeting.

Below are some pictures taken when we had our assembly which themed cosplay at the said hotel.

Another set of few pics below while our company celebrated Christmas at Grand Caprice hotel and restaurant. Red carpet party actually.

Loreto’s Grill offers entertainment while waiting for foods. Their table mat looks like this. You can spend time looking for the arranged words hidden at the puzzle.

They also have a widescreen TV and acoustic singer to serenade their customers. By providing these entertainments, their customers would unlikely get bored. Christmas décors are also widely spread out at the place.

I super love my hot squid, very tasty.

Bryan’s fave recipe beef teriyaki

And our appetizer…. Guess what’s this?

Looks like calamares right?. It’s onion rings. Weird taste! I can never sometimes adjust my taste buds with food choices of Bryan so I just took a few.
