Foodie in Boracay

I am such a food fan. Open my iphone and I have notes on restaurants to try in Manila and any other place I plan to visit in the near future. I get it from food blogs, magazines and word of mouth. I find it such a thrilling experience searching for new tastes, finding them and trying them for myself. I completely detest people who are so unadventurous and critical. Its part of the fun! If it sucks, well, at least you gave it a go :)

Going back to Boracay after a couple of years (?), a lot of restaurants have changed. Love the fact that Mariless was there so she took us to a few places and just surprisingly stumbled into the ones I wanted to try.

Here are some of the restaurants we went to this time around:
1) I love BBQ - love the bulalo steak with extra sauce. Served with bbq rice (well, more like Knorr rice. But I love knorr. Knorr goes with everything, I think. So I loved it). Thanks to Mariless for this one. D'Mall as well. Same side as the Lonely Planet store and Gusthoff's.
2) Hama - took the place of a chinese restaurant. Still found in D'Mall. Strawberry shake. Yum! The eel sushi was so good and the bento was the best I have had. The salad, tofu steak was sooo good! So unlike the ones you get in other places.
3) Cyma - well, this restaurant is pretty good. Whether in Manila or Boracay. The lamb is always my favorite. Osso Bucco pasta was also good. Same with the Mediterranean crab and the choco cake was so sinful!
4) Aria - aalways good. and the coffee shop next to it. Same owner anyways. Pizza, Strawberry shake, so much to choose from!
5) REal Coffee - been looking for this place for a while. It used to be in D'Mall but had some problems so it moved somewhere in the Station 1 area. Near the newly opened Flip Flop store. As in kanto sya! Na swertehan lang that I saw it! But the coffee was so worth it and the calamansi cupcake was so good. Brownie was ok but a bit filling.

That's what we tried so far this time in Boracay. So glad that I got to try most of the places I set out to go to.
