So while you kiddos hooked-up, I did this.

I'm very fortunate to always be shuttling back and forth Manila and Melbourne. In my first year in Melbourne, I went home thrice. And, every time, It hits me that with more than 7 thousand islands---Philippines is a lot to stomach in. But once you do, it can be quite delicious and surprising. 

One of my favorite places to go back to is Boracay. Imagine, crystal blue water and fine white sand. Some say it has been trashed by teenagers like me and polluted by commercial shops like Starbucks. But still, crystal blue water and fine white sand!! Enough said. 

So here are a few of my favorite hook-ups:

Hawaiian BBQ's baby back ribs

So tender. You don't even need a knife. They use it to confuse you.

Aria's pizza

Made with the freshest ingredients and the perfect thin crust 

Mañana's chimichangas 

This is what hangover food should be 

Jonah's banana chocolate peanut shake 

Get this the minute you arrive. The bits of peanuts are fun to drink! 

White House's happy hour 

7am-7pm. 3 beers for P100 (2AUD) 

Zorb!

Okay this is not food but it's a big giant ball with water in it rolling down a hill. 3 seconds of "ahhhhhhhhh!"

So until McDonalds doesn't find its way to Boracay, I'm going to keep coming back.
