Practically spent the whole morning on waiting. That's the thing with government offices - bureaucracy. Well, we can't do anything about that... it was almost lunch time when we finally got to work. We just set it up and ran a few tests then went out for lunch.
I accompanied Janmejay, the Indian national I am working with for this project. We went to Chowking where he had halo-halo for lunch, which became his favorite. He's a vegan and is having a hard time looking for vegan food.
After a while he told me he wanted to see the mall across the street... but when we were crossing the street, he notices how near the bay was. We changed our minds and went to the bay area.
I saw this area on my way to the hotel the first day I was here. I saw some sights I wanted to take pictures of. Now's my chance.
Dinner time, I looked for a place to eat... The hotel food was just awful and the price is sooo not worth it. I asked from one of the hotel staff and they suggested that I try Food Net. I haven't been eating properly. I mean, if it's not Jollibee, McDo... or Chowking... my gulay! Yoko na!
So I walked, searching for a place to eat... while talking to Nelia over the cellphone. I asked her, if it was her to choose, what would she eat. She said pizza... well ok, there's this pizza place here. Boston Cafe, Dumaguete... The place seems nice... I liked the setting.
I ordered bottomless iced tea, classic spaghetti, boston cafe favorite pizza, and a very interesting dessert, "cake or death???"
And the verdict.... my gosh! Disappointing.
#1. Boston Cafe Favorite - is supposed to be their best house pizza... fails to deliver. The taste is ordinary. And.. where's the beef? Ok, so less beef. Then, what the heck is this. A pizza with no identity. I can't seem to taste what makes this different or what is unique with this pizza. It's just, y'know, pizza... with the toppings... cheese... *sigh.
#2. The hot sauce - what the heck!? It's an ordinary hot sauce, maybe the cheapest available in the market. I hate this kind of hot sauce. Ok, tabasco maybe expensive.. but I guess Mama Sita or some other cheaper hot sauce might have done it... but this ultra cheap kind... no...
#3. Classic Spaghetti - I might be a bit bias on this one coz I'm not really a fan of sweet style spag... I even requested if they can make this not sweet, but I guess the sauce is prepared already and they can't modify it... ok, fine... but my golly wow... it's too sweet. Again, I did not find anything unique in their recipe. I'm a spag-man... you can't fool me when it comes to spag.. and I'm telling you Boston Cafe guys, you seriously have to look at your spag.
#4. Cake or Death??? - A very interesting name. Very interesting menu picture. Seemed tasty. Again, another disappointment. It lacked the chocolate taste I was looking forward to. The cake is bland, the chocolate syrup is not chocolate enough... it's just... frustrating. I haven't been so frustrated with chocolate cakes (except chocolate cakes on ordinary bakeries) than that moment.
I paid P260 for everything... and was it worth it?
Ok, it's cheap... value for money? A big NO. I would understand if it were priced a bit higher... but please get it right!
I got stuffed but it felt like I did not eat...
....
Oh man, I wanna go to Bacolod... I need to eat... please...
