Nothing beats a real home cooke...I agree danodie. <br /><br />Nothing beats a real home cooked meals (as you have said cooked with passion like what out lolos and lolas do in the past). Maybe this was the reason why I raved like a madman when we found Pares King- offering freshly cooked home made meals and as you have mentioned clean toilets.<br /><br />We seldom see budget restaurants like this in the PI.<br /><br /><br />I'm not a picky eater and grew up eating dirty cream, enjoyed having brain freeze from a street vendor’s scramble, and I crave for street foods like balut and fisballs.<br /><br />It just so happen that we really had to be careful where to eat whenever we travel with young kids as they have much lower resistance compared to adults.<br /><br />There's nothing worse than a vacation spoiled due to a spoiled stomach after eating some spoiled food.<br /><br />Thank you for reading my blogs and no, I am not a grammar and spelling nazi as this blog is full of grammatical errors anyway.Ramon Cacereshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930149376235439206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515819777410371371.post-27993582633507216112013-02-26T20:08:15.701-08:002013-02-26T20:08:15.701-08:00I must say, I am with you with this one, I love go...I must say, I am with you with this one, I love good food and trying out new food trip adventures but I would rather eat in jollibee (not so exciting) if i get that desperate for food than subject myself to food poisoning eating in an unknown territory esp. in stop overs that would be a disaster rather than an adventure.hehe. <br /><br />I like turo turo esp. the ones in naga, im more familiar and had grown up with but It has to be freshly cooked on that day and hasnt been repeatedly reheated over and over again..which i can imagine quite a few of these turo turo practice it, sad to say but food and hygiene isnt still as strict and vigilant esp. in the provinces.<br /><br />Having said that I love eating fresh homemade stuff serve by proud and passionate nanays,lolo or the entire clan when I go for local regional food fares nothing beats lovingly done homecooked meals sometimes<br /><br />Thanks for posting your food and travel adventures esp. the philos trip. You got me a bit homesick though..hahaha..was checking sky scanner after reading your blog.. <br /><br />X.S: Just like your sentiments its high time for food owners or any establishments that cater for tourism esp. the stop overs for a public toilet makeover doesnt need to be posh it just need to be in a good decent state! it would make a massive difference..(toilet rolls is a major plus factor)<br /><br />xs: If you're a bit of a spelling and grammar nazi, my apologies,its 4:07am over here and im ridiculously speed typing w/ my phone.lol!danodienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515819777410371371.post-59291385632748223582013-02-24T22:01:53.195-08:002013-02-24T22:01:53.195-08:00Agree 100%.

It could be configured as an ambulance, a tourist van or even as a delivery van. It is the cheapest van on it's class. It's the van for the masses in most western countries.<br /><br />It is not as expensive as its counterparts, not as flashy but just as comfortable.<br /><br />You also have a different idea of what an adventure is. An adventure may be of any kind of exciting activity no matter what it is. Try looking at the Webster dictionary or even the Thesaurus. A journey, a venture, a exciting trip as some of its few synonyms.<br /><br />Eating out on some dilapidated restaurants or traveling to Manila on a motorcycle could make one more adventurous but dining in more tidy restaurants and using a van is still an adventure nonetheless.Ramon Cacereshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930149376235439206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515819777410371371.post-65962544414941698062013-02-15T23:19:43.824-08:002013-02-15T23:19:43.824-08:00Dining in those ramshackle restaurants?
