I have written much about our trip in Puerto Princesa, Palawan last May, but have not said much about the food there. Why is that? Because I've been saving it for last =) Since all breakfasts and lunches during our 4-day trip are already paid for (as part of the tour and accommodation packages that we availed of), it was only our dinners that we have to plan and pay ...

Our Home Away from Home at Puerto Princesa: RAQ Pensionne
RAQ Pensionne was our 'home away from home' during our 4-days, 3-nights vacation in Puerto Princesa, Palawan last May. It was also here where I stayed when I first visited Palawan in 2006 - for work. The 3-floor pension house is filled mostly with wooden furniture and this reminded me so much of my lola's house in Batangas. That's maybe the reason why I immediately felt 'at ... READ MORE
Summer Memories at Dos Palmas
The last full day of our stay in Palawas was spent at Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa. I almost didn't push through with our booking here for a day tour because of this unfortunate incident that happened there some years ago which, am sure, most of us are still aware of. Also, we already have island hopping activities with the Honda Bay Tour, which was scheduled ahead of ... READ MORE
Puerto Princesa Day Tour
I still have some stories left from our Palawan vacation, and up until now I am not yet done editing pictures(!). Not that there's so many of them, but my day job has been demanding these past weeks, not to mention the fact that the rainy season has officially started and that means braving hours and hours of traffic on the way home (again!). In fact, it already started ... READ MORE

But I have no camera back then so everything I remember about our exploration trip at the subterranean river I've committed to memory. That's why I made sure to include the Underground River trip at our tour package in Palawan. Since Underground River (more formally called as "Puerto Princesa ... READ MORE
Follow the Sun with a Honda Bay Tour!
AJ and I spent the whole of Sunday last week at Honda Bay, still at Puerto Princesa in Palawan, where the Honda Bay Tour took us to 2 islands and 1 reef, enjoy a picnic-type lunch of delectable seafood, do kayaking, bike in the waters with an aqua pedal bike, and bask in the afternoon sun while feeding fishes at the beach. We were picked up by our tour guide, Ms. Annie, at ... READ MORE
Palawan South Sea Pearls
Palawan is popular mainly because of ecotourism, which it promotes so responsibly and enthusiastically. You won't see mass tourism there, and in exchange, you get to experience being part of island communities that are unspoiled but very much thriving. What you probably don't know about Palawan is that, to borrow this description from Jewelmer, the international luxury ... READ MORE
10 Things I Miss about Palawan
As promised, here's a sneak preview of our wonderful vacation in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.
