Lorlour

Because it was my friend's birthday, we had Pizza. We wanted to try something new that's why we ended up at Lorlour's where we had their Pepperoni Pizza and their Overload Pizza.

The Pepperoni Pizza tasted weird.

 

The Overload Pizza has hotdog, ham, pineapple, mushrooms, bell pepper and onion. It tasted so-so for me but my friends like it.

What I don't like with the pizza aside from its weird taste is that it has only a few cheese. Like Love and Kisses, it uses local ingredients but in my opinion, Love and Kisses is better because it doesn't taste weird. Anyway, even if their pizza tastes weird, I would like to come back and try the other items on their menu, which is cheap.

Bojol Grill

My friends wanted to videoke so I accompanied them to Bojol Grill. I had Halohalo. It was good because there was plenty of milk in it. There was gulaman, nata de coco, langka, ube, leche flan and ice cream. Yum yum!

Dumaguete Fried Chicken (DFC)

One day in Dumaguete, we were tired of eating in restaurants. Aside from that, we were also running out of moolah. We also wanted to make the most of our Dumaguete trip and do as the locals do and eat as the locals do. So we asked a local what eatery shouldn't be missed. He answered, "DFC."

DFC stands for Dumaguete Fried Chicken and is the local version of KFC. I ordered their chicken and spaghetti combo at PhP63.

The chicken was so-so but juicy. Its batter wasn't that thick. It was crunchy but a little bland.

The spaghetti was weird for my taste. It was more of sour than it is sweet. Nevertheless, I consumed it. It is food afterall.

It isn't something I would want to return to but it was worth the experience of eating as the locals do. :)

Lee Cimbali

One morning, we had breakfast at Lee Cimbali. We like the millions of bread around us and the scent of freshly baked bread wafting around. I particularly remember blurting,"Am I in heaven?" :D

After having much difficulty choosing what to eat, I finally chose this...

and this...

Both were soft and delicious. My friend had the apple cinnamon which was also delicious.

Their brewed coffee was so-so.

The next day, I had their cheese bread, which is one foot long. It is not as amazing as I thought it to be. It would really have needed more cheese. But I like the idea of eating a one-foot bread. :)

My friend had this...

and this...

I can certainly live here. :)

Lab-as

After a day of walking, walking and walking, we had lunch at Lab-as. Because I saw large groupers at the Silliman Museum and thought how lovely it was to have some for lunch, we ordered some grilled lapu-lapu. We also had kinilaw, buttered chicken and steamed vegetables.

The kinilaw isn't really amazing. I find that in Payag Jo's Inato in Bohol better. But the kinilaw is a perfect partner to everything else we ordered. I like its texture and how it just melts in your mouth, and the spices that came with it. Yum yum.

The steamed vegetables was everyone's favorite. We all liked the free refill of ginamos that complemented the bland vegetables.

The buttered chicken wasn't also that amazing but it was plenty.

And the least favored was the grilled lapu-lapu. It was small and not tasty amidst the spices stuffed inside.

All in all, we had a very hearty lunch.

I would love to try the pizza at Hayahay sometime.

Chicken Ati-atihan

This chicken inasal/inihaw place is very popular in the Visayas.

We wanted to eat somewhere else but that establishment was still closed at an early hour of 8AM so we headed to Chicken Ati-atihan instead.

I had Grilled Pork Chop which arrived after an hour. :-| This just wouldn't do for hungry people. :-| It was plenty and tender but was basted with a lot of sauce. It's fine like it though. Maybe it was what made it tasty.

Harbor City Dimsum

I never knew Harbor City was connected with Ding Qua Qua and Dimsum Break.

Anyway, I had Spicy Steamed Fried Rice and Garlic Pork, which arrived after only 2 minutes.

My first taste of the Spicy Steamed Fried Rice gave me the impression that it wasn't that spicy at all. After my second bite, all the spiciness exploded and made me believe that it was indeed spicy! This coupled with it being hot (as in more than warm) made it a spicier meal!

The garlic pork was tender even if it looks tough. It had only a few fat in it.

Next time, I will have the Dimsum Experience and I will return to Ding Qua Qua! :)

Uncle Tom's

Uncle Tom's chicken and ribs is truly a comfort food. Their chicken is crispy and juicy and delicious. Their ribs are soft and tasty. Their rice is how I want it to be - wet. This meal also comes with coleslaw and gravy. All at around PhP150. Yum yum!!!
