The venue...Casa Cecilia

Dining at Casa Cecilia in Taal was always a wonderful experience for me. Ive been here several times but the excitement always continuous. Maybe its because I'm a fun of good food, not to mention the incredible place to dine. Their native cuisines and appetizing menu's are worth satisfying considering that this is almost an hour away from home. But everytime i visit Casa Cecilia, it was always worth the travel.

Everyone can notice that there are only a few menus, in fact you will say that there are only a few choices compared to the other restaurants, but you can always have something to choose and to crave for afterwards. I can say that for the first timers here, their pizza and pasta are one of the reasons for to smile. As a pizza and pasta lover, this is what i call heaven on earth. Their native dishes are also excellent for they are using only the best and the freshest ingredients to work with. The native fish and vegetables are their specialty, and everyone will surely love to eat those as to experience the feeling of a true blooded Batangueno.

The drinks are well prepared and presented. I opt for a simple lukewarm calamansi juice for the day. And they had given me perfectly for me to sip my juice. The calamansi juice is a relaxing drink for someone who's feeling bad that day. Their fruit shakes are fresh and satisfying, perfect for a garden dining experience.

The mango shake was really the fresh mango fruit and not the one in can. Tiny bits of ripe mango is an indication that they are indeed true to their promises, that these are from real fruits.

The strawberry and banana shake are also delightful and i can assure, nutritious as well.

I can almost eat the whole pasta which is cooked to perfection. Their linguine suits my taste to a T. I love how they created the dish so wonderfully that i would still want to order another serving of it. The creaminess and the taste of all the seafood ingredients make this dish the perfect pasta for all lovers out there.

The grilled maliputo is delicious and sweet, an indication of its freshness. The dish is very simple to highlight the taste of the fresh fish. Its very seldom that we can eat such fish and its to die for...

The grilled spare ribs is also a classic and popular requests also. The tenderness in the meat and its marinade is a perfect combination for a fresh and crispy garden salad side dish.

Look at how the shrimp takes the centerstage on our soup bowl.

It was such a pleasure dining in Casa Cecilia. and this is why i decided to held the wedding reception of my sister here for us to share the magic of eating in the right place in a perfect time....

Make Me Home No.4

Welcome to Make me Home edition 4. Weve been doing the dining, living and kitchen already and i guess its proper to feature a bedroom as well. This time, i want to feature a bedroom which is so typical to a filipino setting where the bedroom is shared by siblings. It is a common fact that due to limited space and budget, room sharing is an option to a modest family. Though privacy may be a little bit of a problem when sharing a space, intimacy and healthy relationships can be strengthen by sharing a room with someone who are dear to us. This room may be bit of a challenge for me. When i saw the room, i thought, a bed with a pull out will definitely solve the small space problem. But, its kinda ackward for someone to sleep on the pull out right? In fact, sleeping in a pull out is just an option for a sleep overs. It will be greater and even righteous to give a bed to everyone so they can have a space of their own. So i envisioned a "chic retreat style" for this bedroo

The L shaped Sofa

An L shape sofa is a sofa that is literally designed in the shape of an L. It is designed like this for a number of reasons, and is a great choice for many different kinds of living rooms. Many people are buying L shaped sofas these days, in fact, for all of the benefits they offer. So, in case you have not been able to witness these benefits firsthand, here they are! First and foremost, an L shape sofa gives you more actual sitting room than does a regular sofa. Why? Well, because there is simply more of it to sit on! There is the main section (much like a normal couch), then, there is the elbow (a very relaxing spot to sit, I might add..), and the rest of the L on the end...which is usually the size of at least a small loveseat. And since there is so much room on these pieces to sit, you can fit a lot more people onto an L shaped sofa like this than you could on a regular sofa. The next benefit that an L shape sofa gives us is the benefit of being more affordable. Now, at this, you

La Residencia Almar...my home in Dumaguete

This is La Residencia Almar in Dumaguete City where i stayed for six nights. Actually, this is my second time to stay in this hotel because i was here last year. I opted to stay again in this hotel because i love the view in its front and it is smaller than the usual hotel located in Dumaguete. In front of the hotel is the famous Dumaguete Boulevard where a lot of people, local and tourist gather every morning and at night to see the majestic view of the sea. But what makes me desire to stay once again is tits beautiful interior, a Balinese theme which i always love in every home. The nice lighting fixture greeted me as I enter the hotel. This is spectacular especially at night. I love the simple but colorful detail at the base of the chandelier. The nuetral paint, with mostly beige, white and brown accentuated by several niches where an old jars are kept in display, trimmings and wooden pieces makes me think that I am in an old world retreat but never forgetting the asian herit
