Deng Long Dinner


Kainan na! It had to be outside our resort for all the right and bright reasons -- 1) my companion was a first-timer in Langkawi, so he should/must see as much of everything, everywhere; 2) I would not feel pathetically awkward dining at crowded places since I was not alone. I had company this time. Yehey!

No need to research or browse or anything. Our only 'rule' for the evening was: walk along Jalan Teluk Baru, until we find a restaurant we unanimously deem good to have dinner at. Based on what criteria?

Wala lang, "as long as we feel like it, that's it"! We actually had an idea, somehow, since this is the road we passed-by earlier on arrival from the airport. We saw that there are many restaurants (many kinds) on this road that looked cheaper than those at the resorts. They looked clean and inviting too. Ganun!

Well, we only strolled about a mere hundred meters, we've seen some restaurants, and we liked this:

My companion said "check.., check.., check.., check! Tara dito na lang"! Whatever that was, agree ako!

You can see their cuisine and prices everywhere in this restaurant. There are standees at the entrance, there is also a copy of their menu displayed there. Windows also have posters. Chinese restaurant eh!

You know what that is? That's a wall that had no windows. Floor to ceiling ang pictures. Ewan na lang!

On top of that, we each received a copy of a menu book. Look, our choices were on pages 15 and 17!

menu item, Roast Duck at Deng Long Seafood Restaurant in Langkawi
So it was easy to identify and weigh our choices - as if marami kaming oorderin, eh yun lang naman!

This place was not full, but many people (mostly foreigners), yet our food took only some 15 minutes.

So ayan.., that's it pusit! I am no foodie, so I don't know how to properly artfully reliably describe food.

Okay, compared to the pictures in the menu, our orders did not look like it! Baka faded na yung menu!

That is the duck. Yes da pato, itik, bibe, whatever. Masarap, Chinese style eh. And the skin was crispy!

By the way, intermission muna: Our "pato" as in "duck" in English is "itik" in Malay.

And this is the fish. Pramis, isda sya! Yes it is a fillet, but of we don't know of what fish. Malalaki eh!

If you compare each piece to what is/was in the menu book picture... very different. Pero masarap!

Ang ending.., nakaka-antok na busog. Burp! Eh I think, all Chinese restaurant-food, wherever it may be, have that same 'effect' on us! Yeah, msg na kung MSG.., pero masarap eh. Ang bawal.., masarap. Ang masarap.., bawal. Okay fine. Wheh, it's not as if I can afford to eat that kind of food everyday anyway!

The fish was MYR28, the duck MYR30, plus MYR2 for 2 cups rice = about 700++ pesoses!

Good night!

Trapped In Oras, Eastern Samar

Image
Oras is a pacific-facing town up the northern portion of Eastern Samar. This town's name is not pronounced like the Tagalog word for time. No, not like that! It is [o'ras] where the stress is in the second syllable. The speed and tone is like how you say the English words "alight", "chorale", "amass" or "awash". Okay, that's good enough, I know you got it! Uu da, oke na da it! Asya it! Yesterday, I was in the area checking on some work-related matters. Stayed overnight in this town as I haven't yet heard if accommodation facilities are available in San Policarpo or Arteche (these are the 3 northern-most towns of Eastern Samar). This morning, I was on my way to other nearby places, but.. I got trapped (happily) by a parade! That long white bridge behind them is the only way out south... A youngish set of town officials, I must say. Oh, the girl in the middle is not a muse. She is THE Mayor! But by the looks of it, she migh...

Hinatuan, A Quick Visit

Image
Happy (and thankful) to have seen the center of this town, even if I did not at all dream of being in the place yet! I only wanted to see Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted River which I thought were both in Bislig ! Only to find out that Enchanted River is even farther away than Hinatuan, from Bislig or Tinuy-an Falls! This place is out of the way if you come from anywhere in Bislig to the Enchanted River or vice-versa! So, how did I find myself here? Nag-detour? Well, I would like to think of this as some kind of a gift! An addition to my itinerary (at no extra cost), for lack of anything else to do and/or any place else to see! Why? Because we were moving too fast from place to place, because: I did not stay long at Tinuy-an Falls or Enchanted River.., because: there were just too many visitors that I did not enjoy it any longer! Whose fault? Mine! Lesson learned: DO NOT VISIT SURIGAO DEL SUR ON A HOLY WEEK! So.., because we were already done with Tinuy-an Falls and Enchanted Ri...

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...
