Bohol Bee Farm

The Bohol Bee Farm is a popular destination in Panglao Island. The resort and restaurant is located on the way to Alona Beach, so one can stopover for breakfast, lunch or brunch there.



The Bohol Bee Farm is a sprawling resort with a popular restaurant overlooking the glistening Bohol Sea. There's no beach, but there's a view deck where one can jump off from to snorkel and swim.


The food here is considered to be organic, meaning, most of their ingredients are grown from their backyard. Most of the dishes are also vegetarian, hence, their menu is limited with healthy choices.


Their popular flower salad is a perennial favorite, and I have seen this been copied in other countries as well. The salad is quite refreshing, although the flowers have some bitter spots.


The food is not really exceptional in my opinion. This penne dish was bland and I had to season it further. Well, that's organic and healthy for you.


The pizza was good, but I think the crust can be enhanced further. I don't know how they cook it, but with this result, I think it was just baked in a convection oven.


The Bohol Bee Farm has a very interesting souvenir shop, that sells various Bohol merchandise and of course, their own products such as honey, the malunggay bread and many others.


The shop was colorful inside out, and one can even buy hats and bags that they can decorate. You can also see how these products are done in their workshop.


There's also the Buzz Ice Cream, which sells unique local flavors such as ginger, pandan and malunggay as well. The ice cream is all natural and made without any preservatives, making it a very healthy dessert option.


The Bee Farm offers guided tours in their place, so you can better appreciate what it has to offer. There's the bee farm of course, and other activity areas, such as the weaving area. You can also see how they grow what you eat in the resort. There's also a huge venue for weddings and functions, located in this area with the swimming pool.

    i liked that herb penne and the bread with pesto spread :) the spareribs was good too. For desserts, the malunggay & ube ice cream and halo-halo were so delish.

Us-Usan Island: Guimaras

Image
After having a pleasant lunch in Nagarao, we decided to hire a boat to explore the surrounding islands of Nagarao. There was this one island that the staff recommended, Us-usan Island. As soon as I saw a strip of sand glistening from a distance, I knew we were in for a treat. Us-usan Island. The water wasn't as clear though as in Nagarao and in most of Guimaras. The sand bar jutting out of the island seemed like a catwalk on the sea. This provided a nice swimming area for the island's visitors as well. We began to explore the island, hoping to circle it in less than an hour. The island has a narrow shoreline, probably because it was high tide. There were also foliage all around, so it was quite a struggle going around. We were treated though with amazing views of the sea. This tree was alone and offshore for around 100 meters. It was quite strange to see a single tree in full bloom in the middle of the sea. After 15 minutes of walking, we arrived at a mangrove area. There were ...

JCO Donuts and Coffee

Image
Its logo looks like Starbucks and the look of the place is like Krispy Kreme in orange. I guess the owners of JCO really thought of merging coffee and donuts, which are of course, perfect for each other. I stumbled upon JCO when it opened in Jakarta 2 years ago. The lines were unbelievably long, and that reminded me of our Gonuts Donuts craze back then. After 2 years, JCO in Jakarta has established itself as a donut shop serving great coffee and blended drinks. They also serve ice cream (gelato). JCO is a franchise that began in Singapore, spread in Malaysia, and hit Indonesia. The donuts craze came about the same time across all countries in Asia. JCO for me is different. When I tasted it the first time, I just had the glazed donut served by my clients. MY initial reaction was, it tasted like Dunkin' Donuts. And that held my interest. While Go Nuts and Krispy Kreme tasted the same, Dunkin Donuts was still different. In the Philippines, Dunkin' is targets the mass market, makin...

Legaspi Suites Hotel: Davao

Image
Legaspi Suites is the only boutique hotel in Davao. What makes it boutique is its size and attention to design and ambience. Legaspi Suites is located in a complex that was once an ancestral home. The landmark still remains in tact at the middle of the complex and a 4 story apartment building was built around it to house the hotel. Once you enter the lobby, you would feel that the hotel thought about its design, which is uncommon in Davao. I would think this would be normal in Cebu already, but in Davao, good design is still scarce. I got the cheapest room, a standard room for P1,600 since I was only staying for one night. The room was huge and very bare. I'm assuming this room was made simple because of the class. The rooms have different colors, as seen from their brochures. I passed by a suite room which was open, and I thought it looked charming. My room was located on the second floor beside the spa, so I had a view of the courtyard downstairs. I love this place because it had...
