Graceland

My friends and I have been wanting to eat here ever since we stepped foot in Bicol.

I had Lechon Bicol Express, which is a dish with Lechon Kawali and Bicol Express.

My friends both had Bicol Special, Grilled Pork with Pinangat.

The Lechon Kawali was tender and tasty and the Bicol Express too.

The Grilled Pork was tasty as well and the Pinangat, creamy and the best we ever had.

Good food at fair prices. I want to try everything on their menu. Yummy.

Waway's

We walked from our hotel in Penaranda to Waway's because we thought it was near. Good thing no untoward incident happened to us.

At Waway's, we were the only customers. It seemed like a stall in a foodcourt where you select what you want from a spread of food in front of you.

My friends and I had Kare-kare, Bicol Express and Grilled Fish.

The Kare-kare was huge and tasty.

The Bicol Express was fiery hot. It had more sili in it than pork.

The Grilled Fish was tender and tasty.

Food was expensive and seems not fresh. Gee Wan over this anytime.

I had the Pasta Mayon, which according to my readings is a must try when in Legazpi. The Pasta Mayon is actually a Tuna Ravioli dish. It was good but I don't find it spicy.

My friends had the Steamed Garlic Fish which was really delicious.

Colonial Grill

We had Sili, Malunggay and Tinutong Ice Cream. Quite expensive at P79.

The Malunggay Ice Cream tastes like grass (I'm not kidding). The Tinutong Ice Cream tastes like Coffee. The Sili Ice Cream was the best. Sweet at first and then all the fiery hotness bursts at the last part. Definitely a must try.

Bigg's

Overrated.

I thought Bigg's is good. So I ate here as soon as the plane landed in Legazpi.

I had a regular burger and the Fried Pork with Laing on the side.

The Fried Pork was oily and was served on a sizzling plate dish. And the cashier who made me choose between plain rice and java rice didn't tell me that there was an additional P20 (!) if I choose java rice. It's taste is so-so. And so is the not-worth-it Java Rice. All I can say is that oily food makes you stop eating after a few spoonfuls especially if it doesn't taste good.

Bigg's is overrated. All the publicity. Tsk tsk. Sa mailad lang. Sa mainto lang.
