DFAT 2012 - Day 1 @ Ranchero

Friday, May 4 was the first day of the DFAT event.  I had a long travel the night before and I arrived Davao City a bit past nine in the morning.  A friend and fellow-DFAT participant and her hubby nicely accommodate me in their lovely abode in Catalunan Grande.  They too did not have sleep the night before because of work and I guess because they waited up for me.  Anyway, after a quick breakfast, we went back to sleep.  I fell hard because if sis Kerslyn did not woke me up, I will never woke up on my own. lol!   To make the long story short -- we were late!

We were late in our first appointment at Ranchero in Abreeza Ayala Mall which is at 2 pm.

When I saw the food on the table, I realized that I was hungry. lol!   All of them have done eating so we ordered what we liked to have and this:

Fresh lumpia
Fried lumpia
Bihon Guisado




Since we missed our lunch for sleep,everything looks and tastes good.  Though I only have a piece of the fried lumpia because I can feel the oil in spite of its crispy wrap.  The mixture of garlic and onions in the vinegar makes me want to have more but I tried controlling because it was not the only place to dine at that day.  That was only the start.  So with a serving of the bihon guisado, and almost all of the fresh lumpia, I felt full and ready to go.

RANCHERO is located at the Third Floor Rooftop Garden of Abreeza Ayala Mall, Davao City.  If you love ranch style cooking as a break from your usual home cooking, then Ranchero is worth a try.  The place have the country ambiance, too.

Another thing that caught my attention when I arrived was the dragon fruit!  I have many co workers who loved  dragon fruit and I was reminded of one who brought the fruit all the way from Bangkok.  Anyway, I forgot to ask how much per kilo or per piece, but it was good to see that nutritious fruit right at their entrance.

Lake Apo: The Plan and the Visit

Image
The first time I saw Lake Apo in the Facebook account of the owner, Dr. Almer Alfonso, I said to myself, I am going there.  So I clicked Like on the photo and then later ask Dr. Almer how to get there.  Summer was over and first semester started and I still can't put into my schedule a trip to Bukidnon.  I desired to see the place alone.  But then thinking it would be more fun to have company, I tagged the photo to my fellow Iligan blogger, Pinay Travelista .  I am betting she got a mole on her foot thus her travel blog.   Indeed she agreed to make me realize my wish without a second thought.  We thought we could make it last August during the last weekend where Iligan enjoyed a long weekend.   But Dr. Almer was on vacation in the US.  September made us really busy for the planning of the coming MBS5 so the plan was put aside to an unknown schedule. Before September ended, I know I am going to make the plan a reality.  I shared the plan with fellow Iligan bloggers and invited ever...
