We went to Tumalog Falls in the best way 🙂  We booked all our tours with Bluewater and even in Tumalog falls, they catered our lunch!  They are the only accredited caterer for Tumalog falls.  They will set up everything for you and there is an area there which is designated for dining  

Picnic mats on the ground with pillows 🙂 facing the waterfalls.   Still rustic but with a little comfort and style 🙂

Our lunch!! P 1,500 per person.  Free for kids below 12 and yayas.  You can order cebu lechon too.  I did not know I thought it was included already.  So next time make sure to order your Cebu lechon!!

Everything is cooked on the spot!!  Grilled!!

The liempo was so so good!!!!  We had liempo plenty times but this particular one at that particular moment wa just so good

Rice cooker 🙂  

You can open and eat the decor 🙂

Kamayan by the falls 🙂

OMG!! Of course when in Cebu, you must have danggit!!!  

Watch them cook it right in front of you!! SO YUMMY!!!

There are benches as well if you don’t want to sit on the ground 🙂

Very handy here 🙂  There’s nowhere else to wash your hands.  Good thing I keep these from the airlines 🙂

The blue water staff who are truly amazing to be able to do all this!!

we made sure we ate in Gabby’s Bistro.  Gabby is one of the owners and it’s named after him since he is the Chef there 🙂  I was hoping to see him there but missed him

The place is just as cozy and wholesome as everything else

Fun dining indeed

 I know my friend, Mig collects frogs, so maybe someone else in the family collects cows 🙂

Catsup bottles recycled as pots 🙂

There is an extension which can be a private function room – we took this 🙂  since we were 26.  As like any area in Florentina, there are so many things to see all around 🙂

After breakfast we went to the public market of Bais and went shopping for lunch 🙂  Fresh seafood of course

Whaleshark food 🙂 Krill.  There is a limited supply already of this maybe because they have been feeding the whalesharks in the area 🙂  They say they have to get from Leyte 

there are other public market items 🙂  but we focused on seafood

And some vegetables

When you get to Manjuyod, there are 4 cottages for P 3,000.00 and there is one big cottage for a bit more but can fit more people which you can rent to hang out in and eat in – but we decided to just stay in the boat 

It’s a good thing we have chefs on board!!!  like Chef Newton who made salsa 🙂  YUM!!!

And Chef Javs who made the kinilaw from the toro ( tuna belly ) 

Everything tuna was so good!! The panga was so so yummy!!! They just grilled it and wow I would be happy just eating this

There were no prawns, just shrimps so we had this plus some pork chop 

The Patiño brothers who owned the boat we rented, were also our cooks!!

James wants to bring them back to Manila and open a restaurant called The Patiño brothers haha!! 

And crabs/alimango female which costs P 300.00 per kilo – they were still alive!!

We just couldn’t skip the pork! 🙂

Chef Newton bought pineapple to grill as well 

And we ate with our hands 🙂  YUM! 🙂  This was our dining table in the middle of the boat

We spent P 2,000 for all that we bought in the market and it fed 11 people on the boat and there were so many leftovers yet.  One of the best meals this trip 

Fresh sweet mangoes at P 35.00 per kilo!!!!

Indian Mango for P 10.00 a kilo!!  Tasted good but I found it a bit too fibrous it kept getting stuck in my teeth 🙂  

Our view from the boat while having lunch! How can you beat that??

This photo shows the division of Manjuyod the town ( green part ) and the blue part is Bais

A few people recommended this place, so we stopped by to try it!  It is just across Siliman University

Grilling by the entrance of the restaurant

Seating is all al fresco 🙂

Second floor

We tried two specialties

Chicken Inato – Their version has a hint of sweetness – YUM!

And we shared some Buko Halo 🙂 How romantic 🙂  

Love the washing station 🙂

A must in Dumaguete!!  We went to have some silvanas and then we also ordered in advance for pick up the day we were leaving Dumaguete.  We were a big group and we wanted to make sure we had our orders 🙂  

The chocolate is quite good!! I wish they had more flavours!

Whether to just take home and have sylvanas or to even dine here will be something you have to do.   I heard that it is very reasonable yet very good 

A cute place 🙂  Reminds me of the colours of Vargas Kitchen – Blue and White 🙂

Cozy interiors

An old piano by the restrooms

They have many other pastries aside from sans rival and sylvannas

We discovered on the last day that there are two areas – this must be the old annex

After a long day, we were happy to have a nice dinner at Taco Surf!  My sister in law, Pam recommended this place

We were so happy to meet the two gwapo owners of the place – Jay and sandy.  They are both Chefs of two of the best restaurants in Dumaguete – Taco Surf and Lab As.  Jay is the Chef for taco Surf and used to be  a chef in Costa Rica and even cooked for Cameron Diaz 🙂  Sandy is the Chef of Lab As 🙂  They are both single and available FYI 🙂  You can call Sandy directly at 0917-700-8399 but only for food and reservation inquires haha!! 🙂   

Indoor seating 🙂

with a sushi bar

They showed us their steak which is from the Kitayama farm, so you can have steak

and of course fresh seafood

Fresh buko juice

Whether you are in Taco Surf or Lab As, you an order anything from both menus 😉  We want tacos because we are in TACO surf 🙂

Fish Tacos were no promo that evening – how luck can we be?  Buy One Take One – so one order has 2 pieces so you get 4 for the price of one

Beef taco

Calamari Bistro Style

Chef Jay making our Hayahay roll which is one of their best sellers

P 350.00 for all this!!  Rolls with tempura on top! YUM! 🙂

Platter # 2 P 960.00 for all of this!!!!

Wish we could have tried more dishes!

Fresh oysters with cheese from Lab As 🙂  

And grilled squid

There is a frozen yogurt stand outside!!! YUM!!!!

There is also Conching’s Native chicken
