Bacolod Chiken Inasal Grillhouse is popular for their specialty of chicken menu. Their main branch is in Bacolod City,  here in Cagayan de Oro, it’s located in Tiano-Macahambus Sts.  few blocks from Divisoria. I like the serenity of the said restaurant because it feels like you’re inside a house. I don’t know why maybe because of their so Pinoy kubyertos! It’s a two storey building  built with traditional materials that makes me feel more comfortable about it. I must tell you their service crews are so friendly and accommodating, it’s a plus good factor of a restaurant.

Bacolod Chicken Inasal Grill offers low prices menu and tasty and satisfying servings. Their chicken inasal is awesome and mouthwatering. Cheers to their chopseuy!

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.

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

During my stay in Iligan City, my friends and I spent some time at Tita Fannies Chicken and Liempo Haus. It is well known and is very affordable specially to us students who have a very tight budget. That’s why when I heard that Tita Fannies is opening a new branch here in Cagayan de Oro City, I swore to myself to visit it oftentimes. It is conveniently located at Coralles Street, a distant  from Cogon. Their business opened last September 2008 here in CdO.

We chose Tita Fannies to spend our dinner with. It was still early that time for dinner, I think its 5:00 in the afternoon. Obviously customers are still few and the restaurant is not yet busy.

Meet my new found friend, flowerhorn fish. It knows how to pose and confident in the camera. I really had fun looking at it.

On our table was Bryan’s sizzling liempo and calamares. I had to convince him that Tita Fannies liempo is the best when we had our first dinner at the said restaurant last year. After one year, liempo is still present at the table whenever we dine there.

I prefer Calamares dipped with soy sauce rather than the mayonnaise they served. And I removed the bread crumbs before eating. Taste more delicious to me

This caught my eyes while having dinner at Pizza Hut, I never recognize this woman until I take a clearer view and recognize her by her name printed just below. It’s Christina Aguilera as a Global Spokesperson for World Hunger Relief. Your donation for the cause she promotes would feed some hungry children at Mindanao. I am glad that some influential celebrities stepped into a new course to give others a hope. This will certainly give her career a boost for the participation she made.

Anyway have you tried the new pasta offered at Pizza Hut? I tried their Pasta duet, (Fettuccine Alfredo and Mac and Cheese) so enticing and worth the try. It has this intense taste that keeps you savor for more, will immediately make the stomach full after a minute of munch.

Tropical Fizz and Mango Juice

Bryan’s choice:

Pork BBQ Rice

Barbeque-glazed pork ribs in BBQ sauce served over steamed rice.

Yeah, after playing badminton and burning calories we end up filling the lost calories at dinner.

No, I’m not talking about the latest movie twilight saga that makes almost all teenage girls gaga. This is the newest cafe that just recently opened at Limketkai Center or at the Robinson’s to say the safe way. It has this Mexican theme that you could easily notice at the first entrance of the restaurant. The dress of their attendants are expressions of Mexican costumes, they look so cute and adorable.

The place is quite and I think it’s perfect for a fine dining, decorations are so lively and friendly. You can have anything palatable displayed on the table according to your preference.

As for Bryan, he tried their Mooon steak (pork steak actually). It’s his favorite that why it’s not a wonder that it became instantly a thumbs-up to him. Mine is sizzling chicken with gravy sauce, sounds yummy, right? Well it is. That was quite a good dinner I might say. Wonderful experience.

I had a really long day yesterday and I’m not surprised with my 10 long hours of sleep last night! Just a proof that I have been tired for a week of work and a sleep of 5-6 hours per day. Now I can say that my body really restore what I need to restore. It just comes naturally, I believe. Yesterday is a fun-filled day, we end it up with a little celebration at P.Joe’s because  Bryan just bought his new motorbike. P.Joe restaurant is located at SM’s first floor. We enjoyed our dinner starter Caesar’s salad.

Very awesome! I’m not a fan of salad but this one really taste so good! Bryan and Umer had the same dish, barbecue and shrimps as a side dish.

I savor Bryan’s shrimp, I ate most of it haha. Since I’m considering a diet that day, I only ordered spaghetti with fries. Lol! Carbo loaded still. I was hoping to skip rice.

Just to give you an idea of how the day was spent, here are random pics. (Post is full of pics)

While on the cab I took a pic outside, Christmas is really here.

Bryan waiting for Umer to come, this is how an anxious man looks like. Lol! Umer teached him to drive his motorbike.

And so the session start, see the two of them bonding together.

Perfect place to learn how to drive.

Bryan and Umer waiting for the motorbike to be finally unwrapped.

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!
