Solo Ride To Lucban Quezon

I had an upgrade of my GPS navigation and need to test it. I had to go somewhere an excuse to ride my Motorcycle again. I've been itching to go north upto baguio however due to lack of preparation and budget constraints decided to go south. So lucban bound as early as 4:00 am.

Marcos highway

My GPS 

So from Tanay Samapaloc road, paasing towns of Rizal. Going to towns of Laguna, just followed the GPS. It took me to Pagsanjan Cavinti Road. 

Arrived at Lucban at 8:30 am, still early so got time to rest a couple of minutes here.

Rizal shrine

Lucban's downtown is clean and colorful .I noticed that most of the houses are old but restored.I was starving and  need a place to eat. So I must try the pansit habhab.

Better late than never

A local said that at the side of the church is food court that sells Pansit habhab

Serving is ok for Php 10.00, kind of a bland pancit canton. Spiced vinegar is added to enhance the flavor. I was able to finish 2 servings. Funny thing is that you will not be given a fork to eat this. You do this by using the mouth to scoop the noodles.

After exploring a bit of the downtown, I look for a place to eat lunch and found this place. 

This is a chicken joint right in the heart of the city.  Got to check the place out.

chicken piece is at Php 25.00. And served with gravy.

Taste is good and complemented the spiced vinegar. I'm already full and no room left for Lucban longaniza!

heavy rain at Antipolo

Arrived home at 6:00 pm. Tired but glad to have visited Lucban

Balaw Balaw In Angono Rizal

After a long drive from Tanay and nearby town of Rizal. To end the day by having lunch at Balaw Balaw. Learned about this restaurant from Andrew Zimmern's Bizarre Foods

Balaw Balaw ia also an art gallery with the works of the late Perdigon Vocalan. Waiting for my food to be served, I explored and took some shots.

The foods are exotic and not your everday meal

Crispy alagaw leaves

Bulls testicles and penis in adobo

Baked tahong

The food tastes great and serving is generous. Not bad for the price

Taste 8/10

Price 7/10

McDonalds twister fries is back again...

I'm not much of a big fan of McDonalds, however their twister fries caught my attention. It is now served at McDonalds for a limited time only. So I get the chance to sample the much awaited twister fries, to my delight, it was good and yummy. Although much smaller than before, it still has that crisp and full of flavor.

Not for those people who has a weight problem, it packs in a lot of calories. So try those Mc curls while still available. I even seen a billboard add saying " Prioritize twister fries". Just a suggestion to McDonalds, the fries should not be available to only  one size, just like the regular fries it should be in different sizes...
