Lola Paz Lomi

We ran away from the middle of the metro and ended in this place for our lunch.

Yey! indeed we left this place with our tummy full and happy

😁😁😁😁

Located along the national highway and their place is spacious, comfy and they do have outdoor dining as well. 

Lola Paz is a family business with a family recipe that they shared with us through their own outlet here in Batangas.

Their servers were all courteous and indeed very accommodating.

I like them being happy to assist and very willing to answer all your questions.

Another thing, they are more than willing to provide you products not available from their eatery, like they do not have iced tea in a bottle and they are willing to buy those from a different store. As in na pa WOW! ako sa sagot ni Kuya sa amin nito...

iStar: Sir, meron po kayong iced tea?

Kuya: Sorry Mam, wala po kami dito pero pede ko po kayong bilhan sa iba.

iStar: Naku Kuya, wag na po kung anung drinks nalang po available dyan sa inyo.

 

We chose to eat sa labas kase malamig at spacious at kami lang din yung laman nang bahay kubo dito. Madaming puno na naka pag-bibigay nang shades lalo na singuro kung tirik yung araw dito. 

Spacious naman yung bakyard nila na pede pang tayuan nang ilang kubong maliliit to cater their customers pag di na kasya sa main eatery nila.

Condiments na pede mong gawan nang sarili mong sawsawan.

At eto talaga yung superstar nang lamesa dito

Loming Batangas

Nakakatuwa kase andami nyang laman. 

Hitik sa laman at hindi lang po iyon masarap din po sya.

Dalawang malalaking bowl yung inorder namin and mind you, 

as in nahirapan kaming maubos yun kase sa dami nang servings nila.

Kita nyo naman, hindi nila tinipid mga laman and yung ingredients na din.

We also ordered Pansit Bihon

Pansit Bihon, anyone?

Spacious dining dito sa loob nang eatery 

Napupuno po ito at nawawalan nang upuan  

Well ventilated naman at open at the same time hindi sya madilim dito sa loob.

Eto yung harap nang Kainan, hindi sya punain kaya nag dalawang isip pa kami kung open sila.

Walang parking space talaga, kaya sa side lang kami nang eatery nag parked.

And be very careful kase highway yung kalsada as in dindaanan sya nang malalaki at mabibilis na sasakyan.

Sarap dito, anu pang ina-antay nyo tara, dayo nah!

You could check their FB Page for updated announcements and prices.

Hindi ko na sya inilagay dito cause prices changes without prior notice.

Manuel Uy Beach Resort

Please visit my YouTube Channel  iStar-Tayiray23

Summer is fast approaching!

Still, looking for a not too far, cheap, clean, nature-children-pet friendly, photo/IG-worthy place this summer vacation?

Manuel Uy is the resort!

A 3 hours drive from Manila (if you have your own car and exit via Kaybiang Tunnel along Ternate-Nasugbu Highway) located in Barangay Sta. Ana, Calatagan Batangas. I kinda loved how this place is too close to Manila yet unspoiled with clean waters, fine sands, and a very long clean shoreline.

The Entrance fee for this resort has been changed starting 15 February 2018. From Php 50.00 now to Php 100.00 for a day tour. And for overnight from Php 100.00 now to Php 200.00 this is due to some renovations made in this resort which is commendable and price worthy increase.

Manuel Uy Beach Resort boasted their long yellowish shoreline which I really really like, clean clear water, and of course cheap resort fee. What I also liked in this place is the simplicity it provides- as in No cottages, No air-conditioned rooms, or even Kubo to stay (like a cozy resort place has). We did enjoy sleeping in a tent during our stay in this place which gives me more fun and adventure for me my kiddos.

The newly built CR and Shower room is a plus now for this resort. No need to line up for so long and pay you every use in those old, small CR this resort only have way back then. The outside shower area is also a plus since this lessens the time you will spend falling in line. 

I also like how friendly and helpful the staff in this resort from the registration down to the tent builder and security. If you fall short of your cellphone battery life- do not fret they do have a Charging station located at the very entrance of the camping site and of course with a fee.

The sunset view from this resort is indeed LOVELY and Breathtaking!

I actually enjoyed taking my pictures in a silhouette effect.

The best time to go to this beach- weekdays skip the holidays as this beach becomes too crowded and I don't think you will be able to enjoy the serenity of the place. 

I am soooo in love with the sunset here

Good Morning from my tent
