Missy Bon Bon, Cagayan De Oro

Just got back from a recent travel to CDO, which I really enjoyed by the way. :) So on our final day in CDO, we decided to eat dinner at the original branch of Missy Bon Bon in LimKetKai Center.

Since we're not really familiar with the place, we just took a cab from our hotel (Hotel Xentro) to LimKetKai Center. It was just a Php 55.00 cab ride, *Php40 flagdown (yes it's that close haha).

And here we are! :)

Their menu list. It's like a fast food chain where you choose your order then order it via their cashier/counter.

The difference from fast food? They have their own Gelato! :))))

So anyway, my girlfriend and I went to Missy Bon Bon to have dinner, so we stood in front of their counter for a few minutes and said our orders.

They have a really cozy place and I bet it also looks good in the morning :)

Loved the lights, although I think there were some lights missing as I really can't see the pattern in the lamps.

Lemonade (Php 60.00) and Mixed Berry (Php 58.00)

The Lemonade was mine, while the the mixed berry was for my girl. Nothing special about their drinks, but we're refreshed. Thanks :)

Danggit meal with plain rice ( Php 135.00)

I tasted my gf's Danggit meal, and the danggit was delicious. Not sure if these were from Cebu or locally made.

Full Filipino Breakfast ( Php 259.00)

I had the Full Filipino Breakfast which contains garlic rice, 2pcs tocino, tapa, an egg, bangus and atchara. It was yummy! We were already full but made sure that we had space left for the gelato.

Blueberry (left) and Sansrival (Php 90.00 eavh)

We weren't able to buy the ever famous Missy Bon Bon pastel, since we already bought pastel from Camiguin. But, I wanted to go back to CDO, so maybe until then I'll have a taste of their pastel.

Total cost of our dinner? Php 692.00 only. Not bad since it included drinks and dessert! Well for me, it's worth the price. Plus they have a really generous serving of viands, so that made it more "sulit". :)

By the way, like any other breadshops, they offer a 30% discount or a buy 1 take 1 promo when it's nearing their closing time. If you wanted to visit their store, you may see their address below. They also have a branch at Centrio, inside Bigbys.

I think I'm back? :))))

Neglected my blog for a few months. Now that's a bit disappointing I know.

I've been going through a lot involving my personal life for the past months that have led to the somewhat abandonment of my blog. But all in all it was a fun few months of learning for me.

Will be posting stuff real soon. Just got back from CDO-Camiguin-Bukidnon, although I can't really share a lot of details about the trip (was not really concentrated about blogging since it's kind of a first trip for me and my girlfriend ^^,v), but I'd like to share the experience anyway. :)

Here's a sample photo of the White Sand Beach (sand bar) in Camiguin. We went White water rafting the next day. It was fun! Anyway will post another entry for that one. :)

Fragrance Hotel - Pearl, Singapore

Last January, I had the opportunity again to travel, one of my favorite things to do (when I have money haha). And well, this time, it's out of the country, the Lion City, Singapore.

Going to Singapore means that we would have to search for a cheap hotel that is near transportation and is near food establishments as well. Mind you, it's not easy finding a cheap hotel in Singapore that is not a backpacker inn.

So after months of debating and searching we found the cheapest hotel that time which had an ok location, and we chose Fragrance Hotel - Pearl.

Fragrance hotel is one of the chains of hotels that offers affordable accommodation for tourists in Singapore. The Fragrance Hotel - Pearl is located at 21 Lorong 14 Geylang. It is near a bus stop and is 10 minutes walk to Aljunied Station. It's also near hawkers and there's also a supermarket nearby so you can buy your food from there.

When we  were dropped off by the shuttle service from the airport (costs SGD9.00 each), we were greeted by this facade and was greeted by accommodating and friendly staffs.

After checking in, we went up to see our room.

Something greeted us when we opened the room, well it was 1 cockroach. I know it seems filthy when you hear that there's cockroach in the room, but it was just 1 and the room was surprisingly clean.

It is a little small but I can't complain since we only got this for SGD 50+ a night. The deal breaker for me is always the bathroom.

Their bathroom was too small but we can manage. At least we had a private bathroom and it is clean by the way.

They have complimentary toiletries, towels, water and coffee as well. One thing that was lacking here was a free WIFI in their rooms. You may have internet but you would have to pay for it and once the time of the internet usage was started, it can't be paused so it's really not worth it.

If you would like to check out Fragrance hotel - Pearl you may go to below location.

Sneak Peak of my Acacia Hotel experience!

We had a spur of the moment plan this week. To stay at a hotel near Makati or Las Pinas. I searched the internet for hotels that's a little cheaper than that of Makati Shang and The Peninsula Manila. I found the Acacia Hotel in Alabang and suggested it. Coincidentally, we have a buffet voucher in their hotel so that decided it.

Here's a panorama of their room. ^_^ I will post a few more photos in my travel blog.
