Before Good Friday, we went to expore Rizal up to Laguna. Since it has been years that we haven’t been at the place, I was amazed that there are new places along the way such as pools, springs, new resorts, furniture shops, tons of fruits. When we arrived at the Paete, we were not allowed to enter using our car but you can still walk together with the Pilgrims. After the stroll at the churches and woodshop we decided to go to our favorite restaurant.
When we say Paete, there is only one restaurant that comes into my mind and that is Exotic restaurant. Even though they serve exotic meat, I never had the chance to taste one such as frogs, snakes and the like since my wife and kids will not like me for eating it. So, the best for me when it comes to this resto is their Inihaw na Liempo or Grilled Bacon Slab. The serving is quite small but the taste is wonderful.
Of course, it will not be complete with Sinigang na Baboy and Fried chicken for the kids. It was a wonderful meal after the zigzag drive along Mabitac, Laguna. It just took us an hour from our place in Antipolo to reach it.
When you go to this part of Laguna, try passing by Exotic restaurant. They also have wood carving souvenirs from Paete and other native delicacies from the nearby towns. It is a wonderful place to relax and have a hearty meal.
So, when you go to this part of Laguna, never take this away from your itinerary that you have to pass by Exotic Restaurant to taste not only their exotic food but also their Inihaw na Liempo.
