2013: Travel Inventory

2013 has been a good year to me. I travelled a lot (more than I expected, actually), met new friends, and ate a lot of food as well. Just like last year , I will try to summarize my year of travel with this blog post. I've been to Bontoc, Mountain Province for the first time this year and I went there twice! It was my first time in Indonesia and Malaysia. I even went to Malaysia twice (once in Kuala Lumpur and once in Kota Kinabalu)! I've been to the Bicol Region (Legazpi City and Naga City), Misamis Region (Cagayan de Oro City and Ozamiz City), Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte for the first time! I came back to Pangasinan before the year ends and enjoyed the food there as well. I went to Baguio City and Cebu City four times this year!

Pangasinan: Food, Friends, and Events

I thought I wouldn't be travelling for December anymore and yet the opportunity came when  +GBG Pangasinan  and  +GBG Dagupan  organized  +Google Code-in  Meetup for the students in Lingayen and  +GDG Philippines , and +GDG Baguio  helped for the said event. Lingayen, Pangasinan We left Manila around 6:30 AM aboard the Victory Liner bus going to Alaminos. We had two stopovers and was sleeping most of the way. As instructed by our friend  +JR Padilla , we alighted in Socony and rode a mini-bus going to Dagupan. We asked the bus conductor to drop us off in front of Bangsal Suites. It is the place where we would stay for the night. Bangsal Suites After checking in and dropping off our things, we had lunch in Rudy & Jing Seafood Restaurant. We had the most delicious grilled catfish and milkfish. The meat was sweet and tender. It was the first time in a long time I had fish those delightful.

Recently, I moved near to restaurant and food melting pot - Kapitolyo in Pasig City. Guided by our dear friend  +Mitch ,  +Jomar  and I am starting to see the many restaurants Kapitolyo has to offer. Bà Nội's (The Fresh Flavour from Vietnam) 12 East Capitol Drive, Kapitolyo, Pasig Our first dinner together was at Bà Nội's. It is a Vietnamese restaurant that used to have a branch in Makati. I was able to try their food in Makati, and here I am eating their food again. We ordered the food below: Ga Hho Cari Ha / December 16, 2013 Bu Loc Lac Corn Trang Steamed Rice / December 16, 2013 Goi Cuon / December 16, 2013 The food was good. Though I am not a fan of Vietnamese cuisine it was still good food and as always great company.
