Yummy Adventures

North Park must be one of my favorite restaurants. Why? Well, I have tons of reasons. First, it’s so darn near my place. Second it closes late – much, much later than the restaurants along the whole strip of Banawe. Restos along Banawe just close early, le sigh. Case and point – one of my favorite restos, Tasty Dumplings closes around 8:30 pm – 9pm. My goodness.

Other reasons actually include why I love North Park as a restaurant. Haha! Well, the prices are affordable here, for the most expensive dish is around 300 bucks already, and the last reason why I love North Park? Yummy, yummy, yummy. Chinese food. Exquisite honest to goodness Chinese food. I have Chinese tastebuds, and I shall forever salivate over, and pig out on Chinese food. Any time of the day. No getting tired of it. Haha!

Anyway, after doing some late shopping, my folks and I crashed in North Park Banawe to eat our dinner, which was coincidentally, my sister Candy’s birthday dinner. Well, let’s see what we had!

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. Take a closer look at my mango shake – it’s not the usual mineral bottle take-out container from Jonah’s anymore. I guess they changed it into the normal take-out plastic cups that we use in Manila. I still prefer the mineral bottle container, because it’s spill-proof, unlike this.

For our late lunch at around 4pm, we were simply famished, and ordered really filling food. Check them out.
