OOPS! THERE IT IS!

When I was in Bohol, I realized that I have been visiting this bar and restaurant in Panglao for 3 consecutive years now.  It was in 2007 when my friend and I tried their affordable cottages and it was in 2008 when I had their wonderful breakfast almost every single day during my visit.  I think you already know what I'm talking about.  Yep, it's Oops! Bar.

From all the restaurants that I've tried along Alona Beach, Oops! is the one bar and restaurant where I found good food, good ambiance and good service.  I met Uly, one of the owners, the first time I went to Panglao and he is still as fab as ever when i saw him in this trip.

Even though it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, I had breakfast for my late lunch.

AMORITA FARES

A fabulous vacation won't be complete without FOOD TRIPS.  Am I right or am I right?

When I went to Panglao, Bohol last year, I tried most of the restaurants along Alona Beach and it was quite challenging to find good grub.  I tried Jasz Restaurant which was a letdown (by the way, when I checked the beach scene, I noticed that Jasz Restaurant is no longer there), I tried the restaurant of Lost Horizon Hotel which was a hit-and-miss, I tried Coco Vida Bar & Restaurant which was just okay, I tried Pyramid Grill and Hayahay Pizza which were good enough, and I tried Oops! Bar which, of course, tops my list when it comes to their American Breakfast fare.  I was pretty excited to try Amorita's dishes because I want to see if their food is as delightful as the resort.

We arrived around 10-ish in the morning in Amorita and they already had us occupy the room even though 2:00pm is the given check-in time.  It was really nice of them.  I was without sleep when I arrived in Bohol so my first instinct when I saw the room was to crawl into bed and enjoy Amorita's Deluxe accommodations.  Woke up in the afternoon with a grumbling stomach and finally decided to check out Saffron Restaurant's offers.

As soon as we entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by the wait staff.  Dining with a view is always a requirement so we chose the table closest to the infinity pool.  Then, we ordered away.

Fresh Mango Juice- Php120.00

Kesong Puti Frittata- Php250.00

WELCOME TO AMORITA!

Now that you've seen the Deluxe Room I got, it's time that I show you the whole place.  Enjoy.

This is the path going to Saffron Restaurant.

AMORITA IS BIG LOVE

I AM BACK!!!

Did you guys miss me? *grin*

Well, I am sure you did.

I'm also sure that you want to know where I've been and what I was up to these past few days.  To those of you who clicked on the links, i bet you already know where I spent my 5 glorious days.  And for those who are clueless, never fret because I am going to share with everyone my adventures, as always.

It was around June when I decided that I want to go back to Bohol to enjoy the sun, sand, sea and serenity.  That was the time when I scouted for accommodations.  When I went to Panglao last year, I stayed in Lost Horizon and stayed in Oops! Bar 2 years ago. This time, I want to stay in a different hotel.  And that's where I found this beloved place.

Let me share with you the gorgeous Amorita Resort.

The moment I discovered this resort, I immediately placed my reservation, paid the full amount and sent my travel details.  Shari Barro, the Sales Account Manager, of Amorita was accommodating and took care of my reservations.  As soon as we arrived at the Tagbilaran Airport, the service van was already there to take us to the resort.  When we arrived at the resort, we were warmly welcomed with a glass of cold sago't gulaman.  Check-in wasn't a problem at all.  I just filled out a short form and after about 10 minutes, we were led to our room.

We got their Deluxe Room which served as our home for 3 wonderful days.

I know you're dying to see it.

HAVE YOU TRIED DAVE'S NATURALS FROZEN YOGURT?

This was what my friend asked me when we were chatting over Facebook the other day.

I have heard and seen Dave's Naturals Premium Frozen Yogurt in Legaspi Weekend Market but I never got around to trying out their merchandise.  Since it was a holiday last Monday and I won't be in the metro for the weekend market, my friends & I decided to pay Dave's Naturals a visit in one of their branches in Kapitolyo, Pasig.

We went to Poco Deli along East Kapitolyo Drive which houses Dave's Naturals fro-yo.  We met wonderful owners Sonny & Joy de Leon who told us that they fell in love with Dave's Naturals when they first tried it and asked Dave himself if they can franchise the brand.  Dave said yes and soon, a new branch opened just opposite Charlie's (which a lot of people call as the Holy Grail of burgers).

As soon as we entered the quaint deli, we were welcomed by the many flavors of frozen yogurt, enticing us to try them all.

Aside from the original plain yogurt, there's choco hazelnut, intense chocolate, mango, wildberry, strawberry, cashew, amongst others.

BREAK TIME!

Taking a break is good, healthy and refreshing.

And that's what I am going to do.

I will lounge about, enjoy the sun, watch the sunset and have a great time.

Don't worry, I will let you in on my secret.

I'm sure you'll miss me but not to worry, I've scheduled my site to post an entry or two while I am out.  Better yet, you can browse thru my archives.  I won't be long.

Stay safe everyone!  Drop me a note, okay? *flying kisses*
