Where to Eat in Baler: Gerry Shan's Place Chinese and Seafood Cuisine

Maraming kainan sa Baler. Mga local na kainan. Kung fastfood ang hanap mo, wala kang makikita dito. Isang maliit na Jollibee on Wheels lang ang meron sa bayan. Puwede kang kumain sa mga restaurant ng ibang hotels/inns kahit hindi ka naka stay sa kanila.  Kapag kainan sa Baler, sikat na sikat ang restaurant ni Mang Gerry.

Places to See in Baler

There are many things anyone can enjoy in Baler. Because I forgot to bring my contact lenses, and Im a little bit scared, I did not try to surf. Maybe next time when I find my courage to brave the big waves.  For those who don't want to surf, just enjoy the beauty that Aurora offers. 1. Baler Church - this is the site of the Siege of Baler. It was originally built in 1611. In 1939, First Lady Aurora Quezon led a move to renovate the church. The church was painted but the interior remains preserved. 2.  Ermita Hill - said to be the highest point in Baler overlooking the sea. It has a viewdeck where you can enjoy the picturesque view. Below is the statue called Tromba Marina. It is said that a big tsunami hit the...

2D/1N Baler Aurora Escapade

I have always wanted to visit Baler because of what I've read on blogs and seen on travel shows. Aurora is my 29th province and its capital is Baler. When you say Baler, the first thing that comes to your mind is surfing! Dahil sa malalaking alon mula Pacific Ocean, magandang spot ang Baler para sa mga surfing enthusiast. We left Pampanga at 7am and took the Canili-Pantabangan Route. This direction came from the Provincial Tourism of Aurora. From SCTEX to Pantabangan- NLEX to Clark Logistics Interchange, turn right to Tarlac, and then choose the SCTEX exit in Amucao, Tarlac City. From there, turn right to La Paz Tarlac then go straight to Sta. Rosa. Upon reaching Sta. Rosa, make a left turn and choose the road leading...

Where to Eat in Quezon City: Ma Mon Luk

I remember when I was just around 12 years old, we ate at Ma Mon Luk in Quezon City. Akala ko ako lang pero kami ngmaga kapatid at pinsan ko, hindi namin nagustuhan ang lasa ng mami at siopao. Siguro dahil sanay lang ang panlasa namin sa Chowing kaya ganun. Sabi nila kung gusto mong matikman ang authentic na mami mula China, kain ka sa Ma Mon Luk.  Ngayon, after almost 20 years, we found ourselves ordering their famous mami and siopao. Pagpasok pa lang, may kakaibang amoy sa loob. Parang amoy ng pinakuluang sabaw na ewan. Hindi rin nami alam ang aming gagawin dahil walang nag-a-assits at walang maupuan. Ikaw ang bahalang maghanap ng sarili mong mesa. On our part, we looked for a table na may malapit ng matapos na kumain and we...
