Trip Ko Lang

Republic of Cavite

Free. Food tasting. Blogger event. An invitation I gladly accepted and very much enjoyed. It was my first time to attend such event; found it fulfilling and learned how to commute going to Cavite; Republic of Cavite is definitely a pride of the Cavitenios and Town’s Delight Catering offers unique and excellent dishes.

We arrived late because we didn’t really have an idea of the travel time… but we are proud to say that we didn’t get lost and thanks to our map… After 3 hours of traveling, you can just imagine the starvation we were having that in an instant vanished with the sight of these abundant and appealing food served in the buffet table. Big smiles were on our faces, happy we can eat something that looks delicious and hoping to satisfy our hunger.

Here’s a quick list of the food served and my personal ratings (1-lowest, 5-highest) Thai fried rice (5), Basil fried rice (5), Deep fried Tofu & Fish (3), Pastel de Lengua (4), Adobong Manok Kabitenyo (3), Chicken Magnifique (5), Ginataang Tulingan (5) (not in picture), Kinulot na Page (5) (not in picture) and Grilled Eggplant salad (4). I rated 5 because the food is somewhat unique and definitely exquisite in taste. Some got a rate of 4 because it is a common dish but gave a distinct taste and in presentation/look.  Then I rated 3 for some dishes with taste that I didn’t find anything special.

As for the desserts, I highly praise Town’s Delight Catering for their special and delectable native delicacies like Maja Maiz, Onde-onde, Peche-peche, Puto Pao (not in picture) and Lihim ni Lola. Lihim ni Lola is one of their intriguing delicacies and very original recipe; it is a glutinous violet rice cake with a delicious filling that only Lihim ni Lola has. As for my choice, I loved their Maja Maiz (very soft and tasty), Puto Pao (soft and good taste) and Lihim ni Lola (unique and tasty).
