Trip Ko Lang

Known for its authentic 1950’s pan de sal, Pan de Amerikana also boasts its very much unique themed restaurants in Katipunan and Marikina. Katipunan branch is famous for its upside down interiors while Marikina branch has the chess theme.

Pan de Amerikana in Katipunan near White Plains

I was happy to visit their Katipunan branch… and personally see those dining sets hanging from the ceiling… hehe…  This Pan de Amerikana branch gives a very homey and relaxing feeling that made me feel I was just eating in my own home. ..

Upside down interiors

And not just that, meals served were all very affordable! I think this restaurant is the cheapest one that we have visited so far… our bill was less than 200 bucks, surprising, right? But we loved it!

Here are some shots of our yummy and very affordable merienda in a very homey and interesting Pan de Amerikana restaurant…

Spaghetti

They also offer pandesals with fillings at 25php makes it yummier but for me their plain pandesal is already good…

If you are looking for a unique and homey ambience with very affordable foods, Pan de Amerikana is a good choice! Also, if you are craving for Ilokano food, you can find them here… a reason for me to go back some time…  See you!

Pan de Amerikana is near White Plains and beside Petron. Budget 50 and up.

Budget meals, famous fruit shakes, and dinner buffets, welcome to our Boracay food trips!

1^st stop – Breakfast 1 – Hungry Monkey, located along D-Mall.

Hungry Monkey's breakfast - Bangus

It offers the typical breakfast rice meals like Tocino, Tapa, Bangus and etc.   Meals start from 65php and up. Food serving is very small, really disappointing. Taste is just okay. Price is unreasonable.

Hungry Monkey's breakfast - Tocino

2^nd stop – Breakfast 2 – Café del Sol, located at D-Mall.

Filipino breakfast - Chicken longanisa

Café del Sol, is the sister restaurant of Aria which is just situated beside it. It offers a variety of meals from a light and hearty meal, Continental breakfast to Filipino breakfast and a lot more.

Filipino breakfast - Tapa

We had their Filipino breakfast – Chicken longanisa, Tapa and Bangus. Complete meal comes with coffee/tea (which you can also upgrade) and fruit dessert. Food serving and taste is excellent. Meals start from 250php and up; expensive but worth the money.

Filipino breakfast - Bangus

3^rd stop – Lunch/merienda – Jonah’s Fruit Shake & Snack Bar, located in Station 1

Jonah's Fruit Shakes

Known for its famous fruit shakes, a must stop for every tourist in Boracay. Shakes start from 85 and up. We had their Mango-Banana, Papaya and Choco-Banana shakes. It was really refreshing after a long walk by the beach at noon time.  Yumyum, love their shakes!

We also ordered their special pizza, priced around 300php. Good taste and also yummy.

Jonah's Pizza

4^th stop – Le Soleil’s dinner buffet, located along station 2

Le Soleil dinner buffet

This was our best choice among the other restaurants which offered dinner buffets. Buffet price is at 396php with bottomless iced tea. There were enough food choices and different food stations.

Here’s the salad station…

Pasta station with a chef cooking on the spot… just have to tell him your preferred pasta ingredients and sauce….and he’ll cook it well…

5^th stop – Real Coffee, located along station 1

Real Coffee's Kalamansi Muffin @ 285php per box

We went here before leaving the island to bring home some Kalamsi muffins; their famous dessert… priced at 285php per box with 6 muffins.  Muffins were really soft but tasted good, just find it super expensive; a small muffin at 47.50php.

We think Real Coffee is really over pricing and taking advantage of their name and foreign/local tourists. It would be good if they can offer a different price for the local tourists, a much reasonable one…

Boracay food tripping is FUN and there are more other new/old restaurants which offer great food and you can just check which ones are really worth your money.

Buying Tempura on stick

Seeing a food cart parked along the beach was really surprising for me. Being the only food cart we saw; we quickly checked it and found out that it was selling Tempura – wow, another surprise! Only here in Panglao, you can buy Tempura from a food cart and sold as street food.

Frying Tempura

In an instant, we ordered one piece each for only 3 pesos.  We waited some time because frying time was a bit long and there were a lot who ordered.  I think this Tempura is the cheapest food that you can find in Panglao, eat it with rice and you can already have a satisfying and definitely the cheapest meal.

Dipping Tempura in sauce

We dipped it in a spicy sauce, for me it tasted like Kikiam and generally tasted good. Good thing we discovered this Tempura food cart while strolling along the beach, another new food experience for me. So the next time you visit Panglao Island, make sure to look for Kuya and his Tempura food cart along the beach and experience eating the cheapest Tempura only in Panglao Island.

Enjoy every bite of your Tempura
