Boss Choi Tacloban

They have re-opened, and thankfully! Why? Because as I said in a previous article about the "old" Boss Choi, they were a grill joint with delectable things on the menu!

So, I came to check this newly re-opened, more upscale-looking version of the old Boss Choi. This one is diagonally across the street from its old location that is now the Bed and Breakfast called Lorenzo's Way (one of my favorites in Tacloban)!

Easy to find. This was the very parking area of Lorenzo's Way. In fact, I took this shot from across the street in front of the store just beside Lorenzo's Way!


Nice interiors... simple rustic mood with modern gadgets like that big TV screen!

It is some kind of an LED board, nice, but I asked the waiters "why does it have to be vertical?". No one knew, one said "oo nga sir, kumbaga sa phone naka-portrait hindi landscape" and we all laughed. Another one said it probably is experimental. But for me, not good for watching NBA!


Okay, as for the food we had these:

All are still delectably good as before. Plus, my favorite kind of rice... this thing with an orange colored oil (whatever that is) and a sprinkling of toast-fried bits of garlic!

The kinilaw that swims in a wonderful bath of vinegar and coconut-milk, aah! That darker fare is 'laing' Bicol-style (gabi leaves are sun dried). And that one on top of the pic (di na makita) is the juicy geilled liempo!


Ayan! Siya si liempo hehehe

Marasa. Yes Karasa!


No other diners yet, so I took a picture of the main eating area...

All tables are made of heavy wood with permanently atrached planks that serve as benches. Nice, you are like eating at a farm!

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d

Balantak Falls

Image
I haven't heard about this waterfall until I was already moments away from being there! And I have no regrets whatsoever. Ah, sometimes, beautiful surprises do happen to my itchy feet. Sometimes haha! For me who had seen many a waterfall, this one would seem nothing to shout to the world about. But being there was mesmerizingly refreshing enough. How tall is it? I'm not sure, but see my habal-habal driver on lower ground and compare his height to that of the waterfall. You should get a hint, at least! Discovering Balantak Falls How I found-out about Balantak Falls ! I was in Brgy. Guirang (pronounced gi-rung) in Basey Samar, for another round of "work-related work"! While walking-around by the entrance to the barangay's main residential area, I happened to see this: A fairly new hut and open on all sides, so I asked them what it is. They said it's a waiting shed. I asked further 'who would wait here' since I knew there are no commuter jeeps in t

THE Ride from Tuguegarao to Sta. Ana

Image
Alrightee folks! I traveled from Tuguegarao to the northern-most town of Cagayan Valley, that is, Sta. Ana. And, Oh My Gee! I never expected this "mode" of transportation! It was a van, yes. The type and style that we call "UV Express" all over the country. But not the usual that I have seen, even in the more remote areas of the Visayas and Mindanao. This ride was on a piece of "flying junk" hahaha! It started like this... the night before I check-out at Hotel Roma, I asked the friendly front desk staff if there was a better way to go to Sta. Ana. than riding the bus. The very helpful suggestion was, I ride the vans instead of the bus, because, they are purportedly faster and more comfortable. Okay, I thought I would do just that. Staff even told me to remind them during check-out that I'm taking a UV Express commute to Sta. Ana. I did just that. The eager staff went out with me to front of the hotel. He hailed a trike for me and gave instructions t
