Bicol Food Trip

When on vacation, it is a must to try the best local cuisine. 

First stop, 1st Colonial, one of the famous restaurants in Legazpi. I tried their Pasta Bicolana. 

Then, for dessert, we tried their authentic and best seller sili (chili) ice cream. For the adventurous soul, you can try the level 3 sili ice cream. For the cautious one, I suggest you try the level 1. They also serve other authentic ice cream flavors. 

Their stores are located at:

Villa Amada Building, Rizal St. Sagpon, Daraga,Albay 

Ground Floor, Pacific Mall, Landco Business Park, Legazpi

Telephone Number: 481-1212 | 820-0985

Next, we tried the Small Talk Café. I ordered their Bicol Express pasta. From the name itself, they used the famous bicol express as a pasta sauce, adding the right spiciness to the dish.

Monday - Sunday, 11:00 AM - 10:00 PM

We also tried the Bigg's Diner. It has a lot of branches in the Bicol region. I had their breakfast omelette, however I was not able to take a photo. ✌️ 

For the sweet tooth, you can have their concorde mini cake. This will surely delight your taste buds.

And lastly, some homemade dishes. 

Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

I have tried a number of CPRGs, and this game is by far my favorite. This game got me at dynamic split-screen for co-op!  And yes, the turn based combat. :) 

Here are some of my screenshots:

I just love this game. :) Try it for yourself, now! xx

Cinnamon Vanilla French Toast with Bacon and Cheese

I was craving for french toast for days now. Since I still have bacon left in the fridge, I've decided to create my french toast with bacon, and (lots and lots of) cheese! 

Here are the ingredients:

- 1/2 cup milk

- 4 eggs

- 1/2 tsp cinnamon

- 1/4 tsp vanilla

- 6 tbsp sugar

- 6 pcs bread

- 3 pcs ham

- 8 slices of cheese

- cooking oil

So, let's begin! 

1. First, cut the bacon into pieces. 

2. Preheat the pan and fry all the bacon, low and slow.

3. Let the cooked bacon drain and set aside.

4. Combine the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a 1/2 tbsp of sugar. 

5. Lightly coat the pan with oil.

6. Dip the bread into the liquid mixture, and cook until golden brown. Flip bread, and cook the other side. Repeat this for the remaining bread.

7. Sprinkle the bread with sugar.

8. Fry the remaining liquid mixture.

9. Arrange the bread, cheese, bacon, and the fried liquid mixture. You'll be able to make three pairs of this.

10. Cut the breads in half.

11. Serve and enjoy with a cup of coffee!

Happy eating! xx
