Go for something Traditional- BAHAY KUBO.

I LOVE HOME FOOD BUT I PREFER TO EAT OUT– one of my quotations.

Since I hardly cook at all, I always have the time to track down all the nice Restaurants around the area.

 As I do not eat much during weekdays but on Weekends, I always treat myself to something extraordinary, this is what we call, the cheat night.

This weekend, I craved for something traditional.

We went to this Filipino Restaurant that is owned by a good friend of mine. This is something just like a home-food in a restaurant.

The taste of Filipino food.

BAHAY KUBO.

image

Their specialty is Crispy Pata ( pork leg) but I ordered something different.

image

This mouth-watering “ Kare- Kare” ( this is a traditional Filipino recipe made of Oxtail, beef tripe and vegetables cooked in thickened peanut butter), is also one of my favorite in this restaurant. They served it hot in a pot.

image

And of course the all time-Filipino favorite, “Sinigang na baboy”, ( Pork stew in Tamarind Broth). This tamarind sour soup is better off to eat with rice.

image

For starter/appetizer, “Calamari”. This is a  batter coated squid- deep fried squid rings.

image

…and a lemonade and sago and gulaman for refreshment.

..and it’s kinda affordable to have spent around BHD11 ( around One thousand three hundred in peso conversion) for two people.

Me and my friend Nicole.

If you want to feel at home away from our home and craving for something homely, I’m highly recommending BAHAY KUBO FILIPINO RESTAURANT, one of the best, tidiest not to mention that top of the line quality service.

Road 723, Building 822, Block 307، Qudaibiya

MONDAY CLUB ON A TUESDAY NIGHT DINNER AT BAMBU!

image

(Uncomplete members of Monday Group)

After almost three months, I and my Monday club group decide to meet out for dinner.

It has been a while since the last time we had a get together in a Korean Restaurant, Da Rae Jung, whose food is quite expensive I would say but not that exquisite, well from my taste of food.–> Actually, it’s not that bad haha! But the fact that I do not like much of Korean food says it all.

Again, it’s a Monday Club on a Tuesday night dinner! 

After suggesting a lot of options from different fine-dine restaurants, we finally decided to try BAMBU!

It ’s a variety of Chinese, Thai, Vietnam cuisine. If you are craving for a Chinese food, definitely I would suggest the superb food of BAMBU.

image

From Salt and Pepper prawns to mussels, to prawn toast and chicken rolls, and a variety of others, Beef, and chicken. 

The price is about BD12.500 per head but alcohol is not included if you want to go for with unlimited alcohol, the price would be BD16.

image

Mussels and Tempura.

image

The ambiance is cozy, and they served a plate of a free starter of chicken rolls. A variety of appetizers in big servings would actually make you full.

image

With free Jasmine-tea after the meal.

Dinner starts from 7PM to 11Pm daily.

Location: Adliya, Bahrain

Adventures

As the saying goes, Travel- is the best form of relaxation.

Well, I’m not a travel blogger but there are a few nice countries/ places (Local and International) I luckily got the chance to explore.

Having the chance to wake up in the morning on this top of the line 5 star hotel in SL, overviewing this amazing God creation with the transparent glass window of my room.

The Historical Pompey’s Pillar and other places to see in Alexandria, though we were not able to take a lot of photos since we came on a winter season with occasional rain showers.

Single column marks the site of what was once a huge and elaborate temple, which was constructed of marble and decorated with precious metals on the interior.

One of the Eight Wonders of the World, Pyramids of Giza In Cairo, Egypt.

Ancient Egyptian pyramids are the most well-known pyramid structures. Most Ancient Egyptian pyramids were built as tombs for Pharaohs and their families. Over 130 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the oldest and largest of three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis.

Feel the heat in the desert of UAE. (Desert Safari) A desert safari involves a jeep drive through enormous mounds of sand (called “dune-bashing”), and a stop at a campsite where you’ll have the opportunity to ride camels, get henna tattoos and be entertained by a belly dancer during dinner.

…Of course, I love Atlantis.  Atlantis The Palm, Dubai is a luxury hotel resort located at the apex of the Palm Jumeirah in the United Arab Emirates.

How to be Cleopatra feels. :)Yeah,  with this Costume. Lol!

Just to be in the Country I used to call as my second home- Bahrain. Home away from Home.

image

Aside from being really at home with your family. 😛

I have a lot more photos taken from all the places I’ve been to (Local and International trips)  but I couldn’t fit it out in one blog. 

Moreover, I love the Philippines and there are still a lot of local destinations I would love to explore soon.

The chance to explore my husband Hometown, Nueva Vizcaya.

During our Philippines Vacation when RJ took me out to see the beautiful BANAUE RICE TERRACES in Ifugao Region. I love the weather, the sunrise, the smell of the morning breeze,  the sunset,  the green scenery, the Mountain, the trees, everything about Nature.

I have this fascination over Nature Tripping, Long walks, Running, Trekking, climbing, aerial climbing (noh well, not professional,  haha, just indoor),  and outdoor activities.
