Boracay Yummy Adventures : Jonah’s

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

Jonah’s must be the most popular must-go restaurant in Boracay. With its very famous fruit shakes, that were dubbed as “the shakes that made Boracay”, my friends and I make it a point to enjoy their fruit shakes everytime we go there.

As I spent my end-October vacation there with my girlfriends, we immediately headed to Jonah’s the moment we checked in as we were feeling lazy going to DMall at Station 2, and Jonah’s was just within a short walking distance. We ordered, of course, our fruit shakes. I got my usual - ripe mango shake, in all its fresh, and perfect smooth-y glory. Yum.

Spicy food heaven, for those who love spicy food like me, as well!

But then, I begin to miss Filipino food, for I am, after all, Filipino! I miss sisig, kaldereta, sinigang, chicharong bulaklak, that in the midst of very very delicious Singaporean cuisine, I still look for it. So that’s my desert. And guess what - I’ve finally found the perfect oasis, and it’s in Lucky Plaza!
