I read from many food blogs and travel sites that 1st Colonial Grill was a must for anyone…read moretraveling to the Albay area. So, we had dinner at the 1st Colonial Grill in the Ayala Malls, conveniently located to much of the city center. We were able to be seated immediately and though it's in a mall, it is a restaurant within, so you don't feel like you're eating in a food court. The place quickly filled up during dinner hour once we arrived. We ordered the Tinapa Fried Rice, Bicol Express, Pork Sinigang, Half Grilled Chicken and ice cream samples of Tinutong Na Bigas, Pili and Ginger. Food came out as it was ready and for the savory, most of what we ordered was fantastic! The Tinapa Fried Rice is a dish I'd recommend trying, as it's a popular Filipino and Bicol dish that isn't on many menus. It's a fried rice that's cooked with leftover rice and tinapa fish, so you get a lot of that flavor throughout the scoops. It was also topped with tomato, shreds of mango and hard-boiled egg. It's a hearty fried rice dish and with the portion, it was more than enough for two of us. The Bicol Express was my favorite of the savory dishes. If you're traveling to the Albay province, it's a crime to not try Bicol Express! The coconut-curry like dish had tender cuts of pork and peppers and was spicy! For anyone who likes coconut curries then it's a dish to try, especially since it's a native dish from this area. Love the spiciness, too! Pork Sinignag was solid, with yummy tender pork pieces and eggplant throughout the soup. The broth could've been more sour, but it was good and the portion was more than enough for two of us. The Half Grilled Chicken was my least favorite and would not recommend ordering. The chicken was dry and though it had a sauce with, it could not help the taste of how dry and bland the meat was. And we made sure to save room for ice cream, which is what 1st Colonial Grill is famous for. Specifically, the Sili ice cream flavor is made with red peppers and ranges in spice level, depending on how risky you feel. It's an eating competition, to try the sili ice cream at the highest spice level. We were wusses, so didn't try the sili, but saw the many sili ice creams pass by our table by everyone else getting this popular flavor! However, they do have an ice cream sampler which allows those to try three different, small scoops of ice cream of your choosing. We decided on the Tinutong Na Bigas, Pili and Ginger. Of all of the flavors, I loved the Tinuton Na Bigas, which is a rice-flavored ice cream that had a smokiness to it. It was like eating a rice pudding dish with coffee. It was really good! The Pili flavor was my boyfriend's favorite and I thought it was good, too. Pili is a nut based in the Philippines, so tasted like a lighter peanut flavor. The ginger ice cream was very distinct with lots of ginger flavor, which is probably why I didn't like it so much, since I'm not too keen on ginger. But I'd recommend it for anyone who likes ginger. Overall, we had a great dining experience at 1st Colonial Grill! For as famous as it is, it's a casual eatery with friendly staff and lots of options for classic Bicolano food and ice cream worth trying! Even if you're not hungry, just got for the ice cream, which has made 1st Colonial Grill famous. It's a Bicol must!

It is tucked in the midst of the lively, and somewhat noisier, bars and restaurants on Magsaysay Ave in Naga City, Philippines, but easy enough to find across the street from the Villa Caceres. The decor inside was that of dark and cool colors, with earthy tones weaved throughout, reminding me of a coffee house where a musician with an acoustic guitar would feel right at home. The atmosphere was definitely comfortable and quiet this weeknight, and our bartender Gem greeted us promptly and warmly as we sat at the bar, and perused the offering. Now, onto the beer. The beers that we tried were great. Visiting from the United States, I was in search of some Filipino craft brews to try in a land that has been dominated by San Miguel for over a century. Ibalon Craft Brew did not disappoint! Being a craft microbrewery, their 4-5 main offerings are brewed right on site, and I loved the graphic on the back wall explaining the step by step process. The first one I tried was the Baltog IPA. This easily stands up against many of the IPA's I've tried in the US. Reminds me of a West Coast IPA style, although I'm not 100% sure that's what they were going for, with hops leaning towards the citrus and mango tropical flavor profile. Delicious!! The others were delicious as well -- the Bandiong Pale Ale, Handiong Sili Beer, and Oriol Stout. (at P250, or $5, flight, can't be beat! The Handiong Sili (chili) beer was definitely the most interesting of the mix, and I'm glad I tried it. The level of spiciness was perfect, and refreshing in a way. I wondered how the stout would fare in this hot, humid climate of the Philippines, but it was perfect. The body was heavy or syrupy at all, and the coffee and chocolate flavors came through nicely. Gem also gave us a sample of the new Passionfruit Pale Ale they were brewing, and it was wonderful as well. She was enthusiastic about talking about their beer, and knowledgable about beers in general. There were many other guest beers available as well, and some food offering which we didn't get to try. All in all, I loved this place. I definitely want to come back.

They have a good variety of items in their menu, but not much if you stay longer than a week. Theres really not a lot of restaurants in Daet and most of them are over priced. I mean I ate better food in other countries and Daet won the best high priced food and none of them are very good. Not bad, but not great. I have tried their chicken tinola (not a game hen), it was good. I liked it. Their vegetables are fresh and tasty. Personally, I think they have more employees than customers that when you're talking you have to almost whisper because they're right there standing close to you. I felt like I was having dinner with King Louis XIV that have to be guarded while eating. Overall, I enjoyed my food. I suggest you try it for yourself at least ones.

The service was excellent and food was fairly priced. We paid close to P1500 for (4) Adults and (2) children and still had enough food to take home. We ordered the Beach Bilao and it did not disappoint. The Shanghai rolls hit the spot along with the Adobo Rice. Pork chops and Laing Bikol complemented the combo making it perfect for a shared meal. We didn't stop there though, my brother in law and his wife ordered Big Kahuna Chops and Tenderloin tips. All I could see were big smiles during their meal and a 5/5 rating on their dishes. We also ordered Pancit Guisado and Krispy Sisig. Despite the Sisig being a bit salty, the flavor melded perfectly with the rice giving it a very nice balance. All in all we received great service here. The food was served within (20) minutes after order was placed. The servers were expedient when we asked for ice refills or water. We will definitely be back to this location based on our experiences.
