Give me some love even though love month is over. So for the first day of March I will give you, drum roll please.. An outfit post! Woot.. Achievement for me to keep up an outfit post from time to time. As my friends know me, I am the laziest person to upload photos in the internet world. Hahaha This is the reason of so many backlogs but twenty-thirteen will be different. Crossfingers, I hope so too. This one is a little bit late because of work and busy schedule.

The photos partake when we went to Pasinaya 2013 at CCP where my sister joined too then, we had our lunch at Mall of Asia. The photos were at the parking lot. Hehe Excuse my big thigh on the photo. hihihi

We arrived at Club Balai Isabel before lunch time. After we checked-in, we hurriedly ate at Terrazan Café it is the only restaurant in Club Bali Isabel. It was beside the swimming pools and it has a nice view of Taal Volcano. As for lunch, here we go! We ordered Batangas Bulalo, Fish Fillet with Sauce (I forgot the name of the sauce), Mix Chicken and Pork Adobo, Rice and for dessert Buko pandan. Too bad, I am so serious eating I forgot to take photos of buko pandan. It was so delicious and creamy. 

The foods were so tasty and yummy. The Batangas Bulalo as for non-Filipinos, it is the boiled boned marrow of the beef with vegetables and soup. It is one of my favorite dishes. Compared to the original bulalo, this one has a distinct taste. The fish fillet has a mango sauce. It is something unique and flavorful. While the adobo is good too but to be honest no one can beat my lola’s adobo. Hihi Finally, for dessert, the buko pandan. It has a vanilla ice cream that added deliciousness in it. Must-try! 

FOR LUNCH:

FOR DINNER:

Dinner time, I was still full. So I ate only few bites of everything. Hahaha We ordered taliwis, bagnet, rice and pansit. The bagnet was so crispy and crunchy. I like it. But I think it is a little bit pricey for a small piece of banget. Hehe

Pansit.

FOR BREAKFAST:

Good morning! Breakfast is one of my favorite meals. They offer varieties of breakfast meal like Filipino breakfast, American breakfast and many more. I ordered bacon and eggs plus bread, it’s an American breakfast. As usual, another favorite of mine, (baka sabihin nyo fave ko na lahat, nyhahaha.) hunny ordered Filipino breakfast consist of tapa, longanisa, danget and garlic rice. With fruits and plus extra bacons for me. So heavy! 

Filipino Breakfast - Tapa, Longanisa, dried fish and garlic rice.

Toasted bread, 2 eggs and bacons.

Now, I can say traveling and eating is really a good combination. I hope I made you crave for food. Hehe What would be my verdict? 4 out of 5, because it's a little bit pricey and we did  not experience the buffet. hahaha Maybe next time.

This post was in my draft for almost a month now. This is worth blogging. I want to share with you my Club Balai Isabel Chillax time. Haha It was Krisza’s birthday, I was invited to come with them to have fun and enjoy the nature at its best. 

Club Balai Isabel is a place where you can see Taal Volcano up close and personal. Hehe The place has a good view of Taal Volcano and in touch with nature. It is also the place where Oyo Boy Sotto and Kristine Hermosa got married. I was not that familiar with the place but once they describe it and told me about Oyo and Kristine I think I remembered it right away. Hahaha It is located at Talisay, Batangas. I think it is 1 to 2 hours from Manila to get there.

To have a better view, I embed the video of Oyo and Kristine. I love their wedding kasi. Hihi Then, check out my photos afterwards...
