Breakfast at Gasthof

One of Boracay’s iconic restaurants is Gasthof, the home of the island’s best baby back ribs. These flavorful ribs can make you forget about using utensils, grab the ribs with your hands and devour the tender meat that’s practically falling off the bone. But it’s not the ribs that making me look forward to going back to Boracay, it’s Gasthof’s breakfast.

Every morning, Gasthof serves Filipino and Continental breakfast. While my travel buddies ordered the Tapsilog and Longsilog, I had veal sausage, with two sunny side up eggs, huge pancake and tea.

What can I say except that I was extremely happy with my breakfast? The sausage was packed with flavor, the eggs cooked the way I like it, the pancake huge and fluffy and comes with maple syrup. Best off all, it’s only Php 190 for the entire thing, and it comes with your choice of tea or coffee. I’m definitely having this when I go back to Boracay this weekend!

“Are we there yet?” I asked Melo.

We had been walking for 10 minutes since leaving our guesthouse in Boracay’s Station 2, and we have yet to arrive where we’re having dinner that night. Kasbah was Melo’s discovery. While walking the length of Boracay’s fine white sand beach, he stumbled upon this Moroccan restaurant in Station 1. He got to chatting with Evelyn, the restaurant’s operations manager, and before he left, she invited him back to the restaurant if he finds himself in Boracay again. And so three weeks later, Melo was back, with Eric, Gail, Marc and me tagging along to discover Moroccan cuisine.

Post Holiday Omelette

Happy new year! Like most households, our refrigerator is still bursting with food prepared for the holidays. I was getting tired of eating humba, spring rolls, and macaroni salad, so for dinner, I whipped up some omelette. Of course, when I foraged for ingredients to put in my omelette, there was nothing else except holiday leftovers: queso de bola and ham. Not that I’m complaining though, I love the Christmas ham!
