Palawan Travelogue: Badjao Seafood Restaurant



I've been receiving some emails on our travel to Palawan and I haven't uploaded all the pictures and the told all the stories yet. Now, that I am craving for food I cannot help but remember the tasty food served in Puerto Princesa.

These photos are taken in Badjao Seafood Restaurant, it was a restaurant situated near mangroves beside the water. It is like Gerry's Grill located near the waters.

The ambience is airy, cool fresh air coming from the sea, but they must have forgotten to change the curtains because the smell of the sea stays in the curtain. A little bad. a little seafood smell. Maybe because I have sensitive smell because I am pregnant.

The servings are enough for 2-3 servings, very fresh and they cooked it well, the tempura tastes good too and the calamares. The sweet and sour lapu lapu tastes a little bland. I was expecting it to taste better than the Man Hann sweet and sour.
We also ordered kinilaw, crispy pata and bulalo though I have no photos of them.

Travelogue: Puerto Princesa, Palawan

I was on vacation last Friday till yesterday, our entire family went to Palawan to celebrate my parent's wedding anniversary. I was anxious before the trip because I got my ultrasound result and it indicated that I had a minimal subchrionic hemorrage and that travelling is not allowed. Pero matigas ang ulo ko and I thought to myself that we planned this a long, long time ago at hindi pa ako sasama. In the end, I did go with them. I never regret that decision, I was able to get a full rest in the hotel and now I am back to work and I did not have any spotting or bleeding.

Our flight was at 8:00 and we arrived at Puerto Princesa an hour later, first stop is a lunch prepared by my father's friend in Narra, Palawan it was a two and a half hour drive from Puerto Princesa. We were already hungry so at 11:00 am we ordered food at Jollibee and arrived at Narra around 1:30 pm good thing we had eaten something.

First Stop: Estrella Falls, Narra, Palawan






We went to Estrella Falls, it was a ten kilometer rough road drive to the falls.
It rained before we went there so the steps were a little slippery and the road was wet but we were able to see the falls and took some pictures, here are some shots of the falls shown above.
It was a relaxing place, sana if we arrived earlier and if it did not rained, baka naligo pa kami sa falls, ang lamig siguro ng tubig. Brrr. Sight seeing na lang ang pwedeng gawin..
