Angeles Fried Chicken: Angeles City, Pampanga

It was Saturday, (August 6, 2011) so I woke up early and did all the chores as early as 05:00. I was surprised when my boyfriend, Odi, invited me to visit him in Angeles City, Pampanga to watch an amateur boxing in Clarkfield, Pampanga. Without a doubt, I answered a big YES! LOL. I packed my things right after I finished my laundry and headed to Pampanga.

Oldest Restaurant in Angeles City

After meeting in Dau Terminal, we headed to a restaurant to have our early dinner. He told me, he will bring me to a nice chicken house restaurant in the city, called Angeles Fried Chicken. It was funny when we arrived at the restaurant, I noticed that there were two cars parked in front of the establishment with the same color, RED. I stood in front and he took a shot with me.

When we entered, I learned that it was the "Oldest Restaurant" in Angeles City! WOW!!! There must be something in their menu that is special which might be the reason why their customers keep on coming back with this place.

Check out their interior design. The color inside made us both laughing. We were both wearing red shirt and what was funny is that, the interior color is almost RED!!!

We ordered their special chicken. It was mouth watering! We ate barely with our hands! We enjoyed the food. Love also their ice tea with a touch of lemon. We ate as we never had meals for a week and even to Odi that he even ate my leftovers. Hahaha! That dinner is very much special. It was unforgettable dinner with Odi include that funny red wardrobe and the interior color.

Might go back there if we crave for their chicken. It was all worth it. And for sure most of the people in the city know about Angeles Fried Chicken. If you happen to be around the city, you might give a try to visit the restaurant and you'll definitely love their chicken.

Bato Springs: San Pablo City, Laguna

My friends who was with me when we visited Caleruega in Nasugbu, Batangas, planned to have another weekend getaway. We wanted a spring so we can enjoy swimming and we have decided somewhere in Laguna wherein few or I should say non of our co-employees never visited. As we searched on the net, Bato Spring in San Pablo City got our attention. Through the pictures, we were mesmerized and got all excited to visit the place.

the landmark

Traveling alone, I went to Alabang Bus Terminal going to Bicol Region as it may pass the city of San Pablo. The ride is most likely 2 hours. I arrived a lot earlier than my colleagues and I waited them for more than an hour. It's almost 11:00 when we are all set to hit the spring. From San Pablo City market, we ride on a jeep going to Lourdes, Quezon which is the only way going to the spring. We were dropped off from the highway and we easily saw the sign board of the resort. Instead of riding on a tricycle, we decided to walk. It will take about around 20 minutes walk. Hey don't worry because the way is not strikingly hot. It is situated on a virgin forest and the air breeze is fresh and cold. We were even welcomed the locals riding on their carabao.

After arriving at the resort, we took our lunch, changed our clothes and went swimming! We only rented a locker which they gave us the key for us to be able to get our belongings anytime. The resort is huge. There were tree houses which you can rent for overnight stay. You can also grill food within the resort. Videoke machine can also be rented. Public restrooms are also available. There is also a sari sari store inside the resort. Better bring your complete food as they can't provide everything you need.

The falls are actually man-made. The water is freezing cold!!! It is so cold because the water is flowing from the mountains. They have three large pools. Two from the topmost part of the spring which is the deepest part... most likely around 6 feet deep. The two pool is great enough for those who really like to swim in a cold water as compared to the other pool which is situated near the entrance area and it is built with tiles.

After enjoying the cold water we packed up our things in order for us to catch the jeepney going back to the city. Around 15:00 we went back to the city for us to get a ride to Manila. The experience we had in this place was different in number of ways. We had a lot of fun.
