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.

A view from our table

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.

I’ve expressed last time that everyday should be a celebration of love. Never fail to celebrate love with all the people who mattered to you. Bryan and I has this tradition of trying out new things and dining out. This time, we tried the new Lokal grill and seafood at Coralles Avenue. Simple dinner it was but truly amazing.

For those who loves seafoods like me, hurray! We found a great house of seafoods at Lokal. They offer varieties of seafoods to grill if you choose them to from fish like tanigue to squids to shrimps, name it and they have it. You can opt to order from their menus that has this irresistible taste. Like these servings we ordered:

Chop suey is an all time favorite

Bryan’s most awaited part of dinner as he bluntly told me is the Tempura kare kare, compose of calamares, squid and some veggies.

We became full the minute we devour these bowls of tasty foods.

Take a look at how large this shrimp is compared to the usual size.

Healthy and satisfaction guaranteed, that’s what I can say about their servings.

Plus their place gives a relaxing ambiance.

yours truly..	Thank you baby for making me smile

Today is indeed not an ordinary day. Lovers have a special day in a month, though everyday is a celebration of love, there is a special day that you would not forget. I know you get the idea already.
It turns out that the longer you’d be together with your partner, the closeness becomes even more stronger. I believe that each person involve in a meaningful relationship should continuously make the effort to make it work. Relationship is a two way process that you and your partner should work out to replenish and nurture everyday. As what’s the saying goes ‘Love does not die naturally, it dies because you didn’t replenish its cup’. Lovers should also be supporting each other of the interest of their partner.

You know what’s the secret of a lasting relationship? According to Bro. Bo it is by discovering new things of your partner everyday that makes the relationship wonderful. Always see the goodness of your partner and discover his/her likes so the excitement and attraction would still be present.

And of course make God as the center of your relationship. Who would you turn to in times of happiness and sadness? It is Him.

I’m glad my partner supports me with my passion in photography. See how I took pictures at the other side of Cagayan de Oro City. It was my first time to see the view, it was spectacular. The air is so fresh and cold, never did I imagine that a place like this has existed in this city. The place is surrounded with hills and mountains. And when I first saw their farm, I associate it with Farmville. Lol! But this one is the real farm, this is not the game we play at facebook.

Take a look at the farm just beside the river. One of a kind!

Just glad I’ve seen this place. I took these pics while standing on a bridge.

And this one is a real capture of beauty. Notice the rays of the sun gleaming in the clouds. It’s starting to get dark.

So what do you usually do after an afternoon ride?

Visiting a local restaurant and try some of their foods is a perfect delight.

Tasted:

Sizzling Tenderloin

Fried Chicken

We were expecting that their chicken tasted different from other restaurants for they are known for that specialty. But there’s nothing special, but I’m not saying that we’re disappointed with it. It’s still good.

The day is beautifully crafted and happy to have discovered new things

Intriguing name right? When I first heard it, I became curious about it. When you are at Cagayan de Oro you must heard about this newly opened restaurant right at the heart of the city. And so, Bryan and I went to try what foods and services they could offer.  Right from the gate before arriving to our table, a guard had already fetch us with his umbrella, it was raining that time and we have hard time looking for the restaurant due to its almost towered fences. We almost not recognize that it was a restaurant from afar because months ago, the place the restaurant stood now is like an abandoned lot. Now it looks so sparkling and attractive place to dine in.

The attendants were welcoming, menu were served immediately after we took our seat. With no doubt at mind, Bryan ordered mixed veggies together with beef with bali sauce and for our drinks, we chose buko and mango. What more can I say when it was served, it smells so good! hmm Very appetizing! Wanted to grab the food right then and there but I have to behave so I controlled myself hehe. haha nah I don’t want to salivate so we started our feast even the second order was not yet served.

Here are some pics:

I never tasted such food so good like this! Very delightful! I’ll surely come back for more to try their other dishes. Bryan, please prepare for another pompous dining. Lol!
