Laguna
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.

Cebu,
Davao
There has been a phenomenon when it comes to chicken that the native chicken has been more inviting to us Filipinos. Why, because it is tastier, and the native chicken is far from chemical feeds. That is the reason this priced fowl has always delighted the Filipino taste buds.
In my visit to Davao, I was lead to this fantastic Chicken house that specializes in Inihaw na Native na Manok (charcoal grilled Native Chicken). There Native Na Manok is very scrumptious!!! As a matter of fact, I started up with my spoon and fork and I did not notice that I was already eating with my bare hands.
My wonderful food trip experience was even more aggravated because they also serve a very good and hot puso’ (hanging rice). In all of my experience when it comes to barbeques and hanging rice, it was my fist time to eat a hot puso’. It was a perfect combination that truly made my day complete.
Where to Find
Conching’s Native Chicken can be found at Araullo st. barangay Obrero, Davao City. When I was invited to drop by Conching’s by Edwin Biliran a couple of months ago through his comment in one of my blog entry, I made it a point that I will really drop by to experience what Conching’s has to offer. A promise is a promise.
It was a very pleasant experience. Even the staffs were very polite and accommodating. Not to mention, there were known personalities who already visited the place. This is a resto that I will firmly recommend to my friends here in Davao as well as to my friends who will visit the place. Thank you to Conching’s for my wonderful food experience and for their Inihaw na Native na Manok that added to my food tripping and personal craving. Lami kayo Bai ang Native na Manok!!!
This is one grilled fish that I like. This is also our national fish which we call “Bangus”(milk fish). I got to know this restaurant from my officemates who brought me there. Big and wonderful things come in small packages. This restaurant is very humble that their front signage is very small that you might think that the other shops signage is the name of their restaurant. But this is no small restaurant. They serve one of the best inihaw ng bangusin Quezon City. The name of the restaurant is ALL IN and their specialty is the inihaw na bangus topped with onions, tomatoes celery and other ingredients I am not familiar.
Where to find
ALLL IN is located along Don A. Roces Avenue infront of KFC. It is the street perpendicular to Tomas Morato. The service is great!!! All of the staffs are accommodating and they will are always around to make sure they can serve your request. The inihaw na bagus is best paired with their bulalo. After you eat, they have a complimentary dessert of minatamis na saging .
It is not only the food that you will surely go back for, but also the warmth of the people who runs the place. Pinoy na pinoy talaga!!!Good food, and hospitable people. If you pass by QC near Tomas Morato, don’t forget to drop at ALL IN restaurant. You may also contact them at 02-376-68-14. Maraming salamat po for making my first dining experience in your place memorable, both taste and service.
