While walking along the beach in Boracay, I spotted a sign saying "Home of the Original Calamansi…read moreMuffin". I told my wife that we need to stop here and try their Calamansi Muffins because I've never had one in my entire existence on this world! Oh my goodness!! I am so happy that we decided to purchase a box of their Calamansi Muffins because they tasted GREAT!!!!!! From the outside, Real Coffee & Tea Cafe looks quite small and ordinary. They have a second floor, and apparently the beach views from up there are terrific. We did not check it out for ourselves because we took our box of muffins back to the hotel. It took me 3 days to finish that box of muffins. No, I did not eat all of them by myself. I shared with my sister, brother n'law, and my fantastic wifey!! I only ate one a day so it was a total of 3 muffins that I enjoyed all to myself. They tasted both sweet and sour which was the perfect combination to me. Could eat them every day for the rest of my life!! They truly are Made With Love!!!!!!

Hidden gem next to 7Stones Hotel. We went next door to have breakfast since it was our first day…read morehere. The place doesn't look like much, but it is filled with warmth. We were greeted with big smiles and were seated immediately. There are variety types of seating from picnic to the ground for a more relax feel. The first day we ordered a tropical bowl, a banana shake, and filipino local sausage breakfast. The banana shake was good and fresh while the tropical bowl is different from what we're used to. The consistency was a little bit watery, but still tastes good. There weren't much granola on it or at least what we can see, but there are a bit of some crunchiness to it. I truly enjoyed the local sausage breakfast. I don't normally eat a giant bowl of rice, 2 eggs, and a THREE (but small) sausages. Very flavorful and great pairing of everything! It was delicious especially dipping it in the hot sauce. Everything was so good that we came back the next morning! We both ordered the local sausage breakfast, except this time sunny side instead of over easy. One disappointing thing was the hot sauce, it was more vinegary/watery. Nonetheless, it was still enjoyable and this may be our go to place!

I LOVE the Lazy Dog Bed and Breakfast! Every time I visit Boracay, I always try to book my stay…read morehere. ALWAYS! I remember the very first time I stayed here, I decided to book this place because there were dogs! But, after fully experiencing the place, it's just the perfect place to stay when you're looking for a chill, relaxed vacation. The Lazy Dog is located near Bulabog beach, which is the quiet area of Boracay Island. It's a wonderful break from the hustle and bustle of White Beach. Plus, it's a short 5-10 minute walk to D'Mall and station 2. It is really a warm and cozy place to stay. Colorfully decorated and home of the friendliest staff (they seriously took care of me especially since they knew I was a lone female traveller). The best part for me? The moment you enter Lazy Dog, you are greeted by the famous Whiskie the "lazy dog." You will be seeing Whiskie for most of your stay, just chillin'/sleepin' by the entrance. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. It's perfect for people who want a good night's sleep after a long day on Boracay's beautiful beaches (or partying until 3AM!). The rooms have air conditioning and a hot & cold shower (pretty rare in Boracay unless you are staying in the expensive hotels/resorts). They also have cable TV, just in case you want to just hang in your room in the afternoons. If you can, try booking the private room on the ground floor. There is a nook in front of these rooms with a hammock and cushions. In my opinion, they serve one of the best breakfasts! It comes with the room and you can avail of it between 7AM-11AM only. In my most recent trip, I booked a room for 2 but my companion backed out last minute. This was still good for me because, I was now able to avail of 2 breakfast meals instead of 1 (HAHA!). My favorite breakfast plates were the Busy Day Breakfat Corned Beef with Garlic Rice and the Filipino Breakfast Chicken Tocino. Just delicious! You also have the option of a Fruit Bowl or Cereal but... why? My strategy whenever I stay here is that I eat my breakfast by 10-1030AM. Then, I take a nap until 2PM before heading out and having late lunch or start Happy Hour! I highly recommend the Lazy Dog for those who want value for money as well as comfort and a very good breakfast every morning! :D

Vintana ended up being one of our favorite meals in Boracay Island, especially since it's located…read moreright inside the Shangri-La Boracay Resort & Spa we were staying at. The restaurant has the most beautiful tropical view, lush greenery, open air, and such a relaxing island atmosphere. It honestly makes the meal even better. I ordered a burger with fries, and it was exactly what I was craving. The burger was juicy and flavorful with fresh toppings on a soft, lightly toasted sesame bun, and the fries were perfectly crispy and golden while still fluffy inside. The vibe is relaxed but elevated, and the service was friendly and attentive without feeling overbearing. It's an easy place to sit back, enjoy the view, and take your time. If you're staying at the Shangri-La or visiting the area, Vintana is absolutely worth a stop. It has great food, incredible views, and a spot you'd happily come back to.

We took a vacation in Boracay, Philippines and stayed at Shangri-La for a few days. Aside from the…read moreamazing customer service from people who are always professional, the stunning views of the ocean and the island's beautiful beaches were breathtaking. The entire resort is relaxing and elegant, with a great view of the ocean, coupled with lush green coconut trees. But the experience would not be complete without the brunch buffet offered complimentary at Vintana. The restaurant has a relaxed yet elegant vibe, with a modern design that feels both welcoming and classy. The food is authentic, offering various cuisines, but primarily Filipino dishes that change from day to day. There are Filipino flavors and international dishes, as well as breakfast options like fresh fruit, pastries and many other choices. I had my all-time favorites, like Kare-Kare (oxtail curry), Sisig (chopped pork parts with chicken liver and onions, seasoned with calamansi and chili peppers), Lechon, Mahi-mahi fish in broth, Pansit, a variety of noodles, fried rice, eggs to order, and Lumpiang Sariwa (fresh spring rolls). There were so many more dishes to try. For drinks, I ordered a flat white coffee one day and enjoyed a variety of their fresh fruit drinks, like watermelon, cantaloupe and mango. For desserts, the Taho (soft soybean pudding with mini boba) brought back memories, as I ate a lot of this growing up. They also had Crepes with various fillings, Kalamay's (sweet sticky Filipino desserts) and Puto (rice cakes). What we loved about this place was the hospitality of the staff. They were all attentive and very respectful. We felt at home and were accommodated nicely. They all gave their best and always with a great smile. Vintana Cafe is a must-visit while staying at Shangri-La. Everything, from the food and customer service to view, was top-notch.

I've made a move to eat here several times because the new megaworld mall across the street is short on good eateries, but I just can't bring myself to lay down a peso for this stuff. This last brunch included waffles with sticky high fructose syrup, cold fish and stew platters, and sticky glop after all the whatever had been carried away. Seemed just too usual, or unusual, for me to spring for it. Decent-looking venue along the boulevard, but distant parking's still a hassle as construction continues. Oh well, won't return. Just not all that appealing!

So disappointed! We specifically came for the tempura shrimps they advertised. I have eaten at…read moreJapanese restaurants that served tempura shrimps using Panko. As you can see on their promotional photo, the tempura shrimp shown there looks nothing to what was served to us. I posted both side by side for comparison. The "tempura shrimp" served to us was just flour battered shrimp. As to the halo halo, there was only 3 mix ingredients; mini sago, gulaman and cornflakes. No beans, no langka, no pinipig, no saging, no kamote etc. Ice provided was a water logged mess. It was not shaved, so you get big pieces of ice. The place is very tight. It was not wheelchair friendly nor handicap friendly. There was only one person manning the entire main food table dishing out food to you. So there was a long line waiting. It was extremely uncomfortable seated inside even though the Aircon was on. We arrived at 12:30pm on a Sunday, so there was no reason food served was like this. For the salad bar there was only 3 ingredients; lettuce, tomatoes and shredded carrots. The only vegetable dish I saw aside from the salad section was fried kangkong... that's it! Now for the plus side, the hostess/servers/help were A+, so I tipped generously because it's not their fault the food is subpar. There is also free garage parking next to their building.
