Kamias

Hello there everyone. Howdy? I am here again to share one restaurant that we just discovered. LOL We've eaten here just yesterday and I'm just a little excited to tell you about our experience. 

Yesterday, I asked my boyfriend to treat me dinner at Kamias which is located at the Alternate Road, Besides Casablanca Suites,4500 Legazpi City. It is near Aquinas University Hospital. It is nearby Wilkommen and Eatalia too. From Legazpi, we rented a tricycle and it only cost us 25php to get there. :D Quite cheap.

Hope this map could help you. Thanks Google Maps

So, let me start on my simple journey in this restaurant. LOL

Kamias is a restaurant which offers more of Bicolano cuisines. Tourists and even natives will truly enjoy the traditional food with a touch of modern taste. The setting inside wasn't really that impressive but it has a quiet, clean, comfortable, safe and a little modern like idiosyncrasy.

Beautiful green chairs with white tables. 

They may also accomodate you in the Casablanca Suites. It's your choice.

Looks really clean. :)

Table setting. (if I'm not mistaken) :D

It took them for about 15 to 20 minutes to serve the food that we ordered. We didn't really feel that it was quite long because my boyfriend and I were busy in chatting about some stuffs. :D And when the food came... TADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here are the food that we've eaten. :)

Before I forgot, this is what the menu looks like. :D

There is also a separate menu just for beverages.

Chicken Sisig Cigars. The sauce blends well with the cigars. One of the best sellers.

You may enjoy Sisig Cigars with or without rice. The serving is great for a cheap price. :)

Beef Salpicao / Small

Beef Salpicao tastes like adobo. It has a real Filipino touch that everyone will love. One thing that I didn't like about this is I didn't really enjoy the sauce. It's just little bit oily, and that is what am I avoiding to eat. But this food taste great.

Steamed Rice.

They also has a great serving of rice. We really weren't expecting that. :D If we just knew about the serving we should've just ordered two rice. lels. 

Had enough for dinner. Burp.

One picture before we eat. LELs

And ofcourse, the dinner won't be complete without dessert. :) So we ordered their very own Buko Salad.

Buko Salad.

Yum. But not so cold. :)

All in all, we are satisfied of what we've eaten. We didn't really discover something new with the food tastes and the ambiance. But we don't regret what we've paid in that restaurant. And we will definitely go back to try other cuisines.

 I recommend this place for people who wanted to eat some Bicolano and more of Filipino cuisines. :) You'll surely love its quiet, elegant and clean ambiance with a touch of modern style. Simplicity is always beautiful. The price aren't so cheap either.

Malaysian Chicken Barbecue

Hello folks. How are you today? I wasn't able to update my blog because I've been so busy for the past few days. Been working for almost 16 hours a day. But anyway, I am here to share what we had for lunch last August 31,2012. LOL. Sorry if it takes too long. :)

My boyfriend had an overnight stay in our house because he fell asleep while he went here last August 30th. :D So, he was able to taste my mom's first Malaysian Chicken Barbecue. He didn't just ate dinner in our house, not just even breakfast but also lunch. Haha. At first, I thought that my mom was just cooking something ordinary for lunch, like pork and some veggies, but when she called me, she told me that she'll be cooking her own version of this chicken barbecue. :) And then the lunch came and here are some pictures that I can share. :)

Malaysian Chicken Barbecue

The Sauce. :)

The sauce is really unique. It's not watery or "malabsaw." It's really creamy and so tasty. But for people who hate ginger, I think you'll not appreciate it. But I want you to give it a try because it is really delicious. The ginger add some spice to it and you'll defintely love the blend of it with the chicken. :)

The chicken and the sauce.

Lunch. Burp!!!

Nom Nom Nom.

The chicken was suppose to be grilled but my mom opted to fry it. :D But I think if the chicken was just marinated longer, it will be juicier and even tastier without the sauce. But all in all this dish is really heavenly. For all those people who loves cooking and eating....this is a must try. :)

Enjoy eating everyone. :)

Jasmine at The Oriental Legazpi

Jasmine is located at the ground floor lobby area of The Oriental Hotel. (Please click here for my separate blog about The Oriental.) They offer gratifying food and luxurious setting that surely one of us will adore. The setting of the place is modernized with a beautiful view from the outside. This is one of the best place to dine-in if ever you'll be visiting Legazpi City. Everything you crave for is already here. You should try it.

We were able to dine-in at Jasmine again when we had our stay at The Oriental last August 5 and 6. I can say that this is really one of the highlights in our visit at the hotel because we celebrated our 8th year of  love there. We were not down of what we've ordered. Yummy food plus great servings is equal to a superb dinner. Here are the foods that we ordered at the night of August 5th. :) Enjoy and be seduced again.

Jasmine. Modern and elegant!

Menu

Four Seasons

Watermelon Shake

Bagnet

Osso Bucco

Great servings and presentation.

Dessert Sampler

Deliciouso!

The dinner was astonishing. We needed a back-up. Haha. We didn't finished all of it but we got it as a take out and brought it to the room. Haha. Well, that was a luscious and luxurious dinner after all. Nom nom nom. 

As what we felt at Hotel St.Ellis, we were also excited of what will the buffet breakfast be in the morning. And fortunately, this is what we've got. A very tempting food that we didn't hesitate to try. All of the food that was served at the buffet were tried by us. Haha. You should try it too. Here are the photos that we had on our buffet breakfast the next morning.

Chicken Tocino and Pork Adobo

Different kinds of bread.

Yummy cheeses. Different kinds of cheeses.

Omelette. Served by request.

Nom Nom Nom!

My boyfriend had his coffee while I had my fresh mango juice.

Haha

Sanwich ala Alex. Haha. He made this for me. 

The breakfast was elegant. We really had a lot of breakfast that day. We felt like not eating lunch anymore because of this delicate breakfast. It was a blast. You should try it too.

And before I forgot, I would like to share this photo of ours last February 14, 2012. This is when we had our valentine dinner date at The Jasmine too. That was memorable. ♥

The Oriental Hotel Legazpi - A wonderful experience!

Even if The Oriental Hotels and Resort is just situated near my place, I am still dying to have a luxurios feel-like stay at the said hotel. And well, I think I can say that I am so LUCKY enough to be one of the chosen winners on their Facebook contest which just ended last June. The contest had three phases. I am also so desperate on winning that I never gave up even if I lost at the first and the second phase of the contest. The third phase would be the last and I told myself that I have to give my best shot. The mechanics were just easy, you just have to answer the question, "Why do you deserve a Legazpi City tour?" And luckily I GOT IT. FINALLY! Actually I was aiming for the 3 days and 2 nights stay at the said hotel but maybe God thought that it'll be too much so He just gave us an overnight stay. But still we are very thankful for that. I won the audience award in the contest which gained my photo 2,108  likes as of the cut-off period. This was my winning piece and a proof that I won the contest. 

A screenshot from The Oriental's facebook page.

My winning entry.

(If ever you think that I am just hallucinating, joking or whatsoever about the contest, please click on this proof.)

A room accommodation for two, breakfast for two, and a complimentary massage for two at their spa wasn't bad for a prize. :) I was really overwhelmed when the time that they announced the winners. But, enough of the drama!

 We had our reservation August 5 - 6, 2012 at the hotel. We both agreed of that date because we will be celebrating our 8th year anniversary at the 6th of the said month. :) ♥♥♥ To make the story short, after we left  Hotel St.Ellis at around 4:30 we went to The Oriental Hotel and these are the things that we experience. Let me start from the first photo that I've taken that day at the said hotel. :)

The bathroom door. Sorry, wasn't really impressive as for the first photo :D. Haha :(

The shower area. :) A lot of towels were provided.

The toilet.

Still inside the bathroom. Ofcourse. LOL

The comlimentary soap, shampoo, body lotion, cotton buds,  toothbrush and toothpaste.

The blower and mirror.

Bathrobes :D

The tv. Sorry for the photography :( I'm an amateur!

The gorgeous bed.

Perfect for workaholic.

The carpet. Floors were carpeted on the second  floor. Even outside the room. Nice

Safety box. Easy to use.

Ticket for buffet breakfast. Nom Nom.

Complimentary. :)

Mini Bar. Not free. :)

Inside the fridge. Mini bar drinks. Water is the only one which is free. :)

Cool!

Boyfriend :)

We arrived at the hotel at around 5:00 pm. After taking some pictures, my boyfriend and I took a short nap. And when we woke up we decided to swim because we were informed that swimming pool operates just up to 8pm only. When we went to the pool area it was a bit creepy cause we were the only ones who were there, it was also dark till we view a man from the kiosk heading its way to us, we were asking for the towel because we read in their policy that towels are provided when we go swimming, but unfortunately after a long wait, it wasn't given to us. But it was just ok. The towel wasn't really a big deal. The pool is what matters most. Haha. It is gorgeous and very wide.

The pool at night. :)

Cool infinity pool. Boiling! Haha

Haha. Sorry for the face! :D

Well. The infinity pool is so nice!

Beautiful

You can lie on it or sit on it. Nearby the pool.

Another pretty furniture.

The Oriental

After the swimming session we decided to dry ourselves first before we go back to our room because we were not provided by a towel. But it's ok. After we took our shower back from our room we both agreed to have our dinner at The Jasmine which is located at the ground floor of the hotel.

Yummy dinner.

It is also not our first time to dine-in  here. We had our 2012 valentine date at The Jasmine and that was memorable. This night was also memorable for us. The foods were great, it comes with big servings. (Please click here for my separate blog about Jasmine.) After we ate our adorable dinner we went to the front desk to ask for the complimentary massage that I won. We asked if it's ok to have the massage from 11:00pm to 12:00am. And it was been approved, but while waiting for the time (because we still have 15 minutes more) we decided to take some pictures. Hoho. Here are some of those... :)

And so it's time, it's time, it's time. Haha. I was really aiming to have a massage that night because I have a back pain. After taking some pictures, we went outside the hotel to go to their spa. Spa is located at the left side of the building. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take a photo of their signage due to some unknown reasons. Haha. Maybe I was just too excited to have the massage done and I remember I was saving the battery of my cam because it is almost low. Here are some photos that I can share.

Inside the spa.

Salabat before the massage.

Cool! :)

We were both at the same massage room. Cute :)

The massage was really great. The therapist were good and friendly. We had the Swedish massage that costs 700php -750php I think but  because I won the prize, we had it for free. Yehey! :D IT WAS AWESOME! We were very satisfied! Delighted! That ends our day 1 at The Oriental.

After a very nice sleep, it was time for us to wake up because it was a little bit too late to eat breakfast and it is only serve until 10:00am. Fortunately, we were just about on time. Breakfast was so great because it was a buffet. We ate a lot. Haha. Same venue, ofcourse, we ate our breakfast at The Jasmine. :) ( If you want to know more about the breakfast please click here to see my separate blog.)

It was our last day at the hotel and we want to make the most out of it. And the only way to express our enchantment at the hotel is to take lots and lots of pictures. LOL Here are the last blast of pictures that I'm gonna share. Haha :P

Left please.

Cool elevator. Touch!

Morning view.

The infinity pool. :)

Bad thing we weren't able to see the Mayon that day. It was foggy.

Always gorgeous.

You may swim in here even if you didn't checked-in. 300php for the regular rate  without towel and 350php with towel.

Electric door. Tit tit!

The view outside of our room. :)

Outside our room. The view.
