Tina’s Table: Cozy Private Dining in the South

Have you heard about TINA’s TABLE? It’s a wonderful gem hidden in the South, specifically Parañaque – a place too far from my house but was worth traveling to. Lucky for us, it was a lazy Thursday evening so the road was unbelievably traffic-free. *Weeee*

Mrs. Graham's Bakery Offers Unique Macaron Flavors

Unique Flavors of Macarons by Mrs. Graham's

I have always been delighted with the sight of these fancy French cookies - colorful puffy macarons. I know that these are complicated to make and requires patience so I expect really good macarons to be quite expensive. BUT, I found the prefect yummy macaron treats that is truly affordable and budget-friendly.

Be delighted and indulge in the different FRESH cuisines: Japanese, Korean, Filipino, Chinese and Continental. “This is a 24/7 dining where the only thing frozen is the ice cream.”

Those lobsters with slices of pomelo were the most succulent and freshest that I had.

Cold Cuts and Cheeses

(The cheeses at the back are hard to reach though)

Fresh’s Roast Prime Rib

I liked that it wasn't well-done (still juicy). It was good with the mustard gravy sauce.

Baked Salmon

Beef Roulade with Sauerkraut  |  Red Wine poached Octopus with chorizo

Among other dishes in the FRESH buffet were dimsums, roasted duck, pizzas, fresh sashimis, beef steak tagalog, Korean bbq, etc.

Fresh’s Grill Station – duck breast, veal, pork, chicken, fish, beef

I enjoyed this the most. Although, it might have been better if the beef were cut in thicker slices :)

Dessert Section

Our Awesome Planet’s Anton Diaz with his cup of fresh gelato

Lots of berries to complement your gelato or crepe :)

Chocolate fondue – try it with the dried mango

My One Day Affair With Cebu: Oslob's Whalesharks, Sumilon Island and Tumalog Falls

10 friends. One Plane. Exploring Cebu in ONE Day. HAD LOADS OF FUN. It's POSSIBLE.

My friends and I were scheduled to go to Cambodia last year but due to unfortunate events, only 3 of us from the group were able to go. But hey, luck is still with us. Special thanks to Cebu Pacific's low fares for making this impromptu Cebu trip possible :D

Tumalog Falls: 5-10 minutes drive plus 10-15 minutes trek

LUNCH: Delectable lunch at George and Jimmy's Resort

Sumilon Island: 20 minutes boat ride from the resort to the pristine white beach

Oslob to Cebu City: another 3 hour drive

DINNER: (You may skip Zubuchon), head over to The Original AA BBQ

Cebu to Manila: Depart Cebu at 9:40PM and arrive Manila at 11-ish PM :)

TOTAL EXPENSES PAID Per Person: Php 4,290 (Including airfare, tour and food) :D

WHALESHARK WATCHING
The Ultimate Experience With The GENTLE GIANTS
Tan-awan, Oslob, Cebu

Sweethearts Cha-Ris with the friendly butanding

Oslob boatmen regularly feed the young gentle giants. This is the reason why they keep on coming back to the area and why they're not afraid of people. 

Alvin Choy - Synchronized swimming with the whaleshark

We were this close! It was a completely different experience from our Donsol WhaleShark Watching adventure trip.

They swim too close to us, literally swimming side by side. We have to be always aware to keep our distance. It was indeed an overwhelming experience :D

After the whaleshark encounter, we enjoyed the short trek to Tumalog Falls

Tumalog Falls

LUNCHTIME at George and Jimmy's Resort. They say that they're famous for their lechon manok. We tried it but it was lacking in flavor. We liked their liempo more :)

From Tan-awan, we had to take a 20 minute boat ride to reach Sumilon Island

...approaching Sumilon Island...

Powdery fine sand :)

We loved the pristine beach of Sumilon Island.
When in Oslob, you should NOT miss this.

"It's MORE FUN in the Philippines!"

Before leaving Cebu, we had to try the specialty Zubuchon. We did but we weren't impressed so we went to The Original AA BBQ instead and my goodness, we highly recommend it!!! (TIP: order the spicy longganisa and their juice in a pitcher!!!) *Burp*

Until then, Cebu :)
