Subic Tree Top Adventure

by on Mar.28, 2010, under Blog, Travel

One weekend, we decided to travel and do something different as a group. Subic Tree Top Adventure was our choice of destination for our March getaway. We knew that we would wear harness, swing from trees, easy and fun as that, right? :)   But…uhhhmm… hanged and dropped 60ft high to the ground, soared from tree to tree up to 450 ft long and 100ft high and explored the forest sitting up to 100ft above the ground was definitely a thrilling, heart-stopping, challenging and one-of-a-kind adventure! :)

Tree Top Adventures offers 6 different activities namely, rappelling, canopy ride, trekking, interactive free fall, superman ride, and silver surfer. Interactive free fall is their newest ride but we were not able to try it, we just had their Package E adventure at 620php per person which includes rappelling or tree drop adventure, canopy ride and superman ride. We had so many pictures so I’ll be blogging each ride we had, a better and closer view of everything about it. :)

Above is a shot of the harness station for the tree drop and canopy ride adventure. Below is a shot of their main lounge/dining area/watching area; almost everyone there were waiting for their turn, taking pictures, resting or having lunch or snack.

We had our lunch arranged when we booked for our Package E adventure, set lunch meals for 175php… honestly, we were dismayed, food was so poor in taste and quality, they didn’t get our orders right, drink was just a small glass of iced tea but good thing their leche flan as dessert was okay.

Xtremely Xpresso Cafe

by on Feb.28, 2010, under Blog, Food

Xtremely Xpresso Cafe started in 2003, a simple coffee shop located in the business district of Subic.  Then it later grew, and now they have a branch in SM City Clark and Marquee Mall in Angeles. Famous for their good quality and affordable Italian food and drinks, this cafe has been a must stop coffee shop for tourists visiting Subic and Clark.

And so… we did! Xtremely Xpresso Cafe was part of our itinerary, we had a one big Valentine lunch, enjoyed their delicious pasta and extremely big pizza… we were all satisfied and even brought home some left over pizzas. We didn’t really expect that they were generous in food servings, food tasted so delicious and very rich. We were 4, we had 2 pastas, 1 pizza, 1 appetizer, coffee and flavored frappe drinks… and we had a difficult time finishing all our foods… hehe.

Here’s a picture of our Mozarella Fingers, yummy, good to eat while it was really hot. :) Next picture is their big pizza, we ordered for Big Ben, one of their famous flavor pizza…

Big Ben pizza is known for having the best ingredients and flavor. It is loaded with meats like Pepperoni, Sausage, Bacon, Beef and on veggies, it has Garlic, Onions, Peppers, Mushrooms, Black Olives and two kinds of Cheese. An Absolutely Awesome Pizza!!!

For our pastas, we had Meatball Spaghetti (photo above) and Veggie Lasagna (photo below). I loved more the Meatball Spaghetti; the sauce was great as well as their meatballs. Veggie Lasagna was just fine, white sauce was good but I didn’t really like the veggies included.

Our Xtremely Xpresso Cafe experience would not be complete if we didn’t get to try their coffee drinks. We ordered for Lemon Tea Frappe and Strawberry Lemonade, just the usual drinks in any shop. But we also ordered some of their featured and best-seller drinks -  Shockwave and Mango Cremo.  :)

Mango Cremo was a good choice. You can taste real mango flavor and it’s was so cool and creamy. Yum yum.  :) Shockwave was really something; the name itself would make you curious of its taste. And yes, one sip can bring you a shockwave… hehe. This coffee based drink was really strong, highly recommended for people who want to get some kick and make you awake! :)

Overall, their food was great, prices were reasonable. But one thing we didn’t like was their service. The waiters were slow and a bit disorganized; they looked busy but you’re not sure why especially if there were just few people dining and you can’t find someone to assist you.

Xtremely Xpresso Cafe is a must visit coffee shop if you’ll be in Subic or Clark. You’ll enjoy good Italian food at affordable prices. :) Do check it out!
