Burgers! Burgers! Burgers!

Finally, a burger joint in my city with a delicious variety in their menu. Aside from that you can also order some pizza, appetizers (e.g. squid calamari, onion rings), shakes, and coffee.

The burger comes with your choice of side dish, either french fries or onion rings, and drinks (beer, juice, or iced tea). You'll be full in no time. Their food is scrumptious and appetizing, it's worth the price and wait. 

Bacon and Cheese Burger

Cranberry Juice

Squid Calamari

Cheesecake

When you're done munching on the burger, ask what dessert they have in stock (they don't have it in the menu). If they happen to have the cheesecake from New York available, you should try it. I swear, it's delicious. 

I commend not only the good taste of their food but the service as well. The staff is welcoming and friendly you'd feel right at home.

Don't forget to ask for their worldwide burger tour card. Every time you come over order any of the burgers in the card. Once you've completed tasting each, you can order any of their burger for free. Sounds good? Yep, sounds real good.

PS. My apologies for the bad pictures. They do not justify the food since they're not as appetizing as they should be (blame it on the camera haha). 

Come visit them:

2 Story Kitchen

A few years back when I was still Dumaguete based and up to when I graduated college, I always visit Cafe Noriter. Aside from the food, the ambiance lures me into spending my hours at that place. Unfortunately, the cafe was closed. There's no need to be sad though because the cafe resurrected with a new name and new location (which turned out to be right across the previous cafe). The coffee shop is still run by the same owner with the same relaxed feel, and even much better arrangement and design. It's now called 2 Story Kitchen.

Adults and children alike will enjoy the place. It's actually like a playground or a study room that you want to stay in all day long. The menu is filled with scrumptious treats from Korean food, burgers, pasta, desserts and sandwiches. Of course, good tasting coffee is served. I wouldn't mind spending a whole day there just refilling my cup 'til there's no more room in my tummy. Teehee! I just love this coffee shop.

Isn't the place inviting? Now let's take a look at the food...

Rocks Coffee-To-Go

Why is it that a lot of good stuff pop out after you left a certain place? Well, this is the case with the dear old Oriental Hall (OH) where I used to do simulated procedures and listen to lectures when I was still a student. A cramped old building with an eerie air (most of the time I run when I go downstairs to the ladies room so I wouldn't see a ghost or something). And now, look at it. It's glammed-up with new glass windows, fancy couches, reading materials, and the like. Best of all, there's a coffee shop. Why??? A cafe inside the campus; why just now? About more than five years ago when I used to be Dumaguete-based there were only a number of places to grab coffee and just lounge in; today you'll be confused which to choose. This is why I sound so frustrated. If I'm still a student at Silliman today, I'd be a regular at Rocks Coffee-To-Go. I'm in love with the set-up-- it has a study room/library feel that's just right for the location. Those bookshelves and tables made me green with envy. Teehee!

I always order hot cappuccino, it's my standard for good tasting coffee-- yep, my expectations were met. And it makes me smile how they call the sizes of their coffee servings: Wide Reader, Bookworm, and Genius for short, tall, and grande respectively (very creative indeed). When I return, I'll try the other food and drinks in their menu so stay tuned.

Cappuccino

Cafe Mint Latte

 

I'm glad this old building has been transformed into a student lounge conducive for learning. Evidently, Silliman and Dumaguete is continuing to progress and it's great to see a lot of new stuff every time I come to visit.

Black Forest Hut

 

Homemade, natural, European. Are you looking for all three to get a bite to eat? Then look no more. Black Forest Hut offers that. We had a chitchat with the owner and most of their dish are freshly prepared so it's gonna take a little wait before munching out. For those used to the sweet-style Filipino cooking, don't be surprised when the food they serve tastes a little different. This snack bar strongly promotes cooking without artificial ingredients and breaking the rules of using too much sugar. Upon opening the menu, you'll find an explanation of that on the first page. Black Forest Hut is the place to be for healthy and natural foodies.

Pizza Philippiniana (with Mango)

Fresh Mango Juice

Hollandse Krokette

This restaurant is best known for their homemade ice cream with unique flavors. Garlic ice cream? Haven't tasted that and I'm sure it teases your curiosity as well. Many drop by just to get a taste of this delectable cold dessert. As recommended for the adventurous, Garlic and Spicy Chocolate is a must-try.

Spicy Chocolate (All Native Cocoa & Chilli) / Batida de Coco (Coconut White Rum Bacardi)

Kalamansi / Batida de Coco (Coconut White Rum Bacardi)

If you are bored of the same old fast food taste with too much salt or sugar it's about time to take a short drive from Tagbilaran City downtown to Dauis junction or out of town to Baclayon and grab their menu to get a taste of natural cuisine with European touch.

Enjoy their food al fresco

The Buzzz Cafe

The Buzzz Cafe is one of Bohol's pride when it comes to gastronomic adventure. They offer an array of organic food and most of the ingredients used in their menu comes straight from their garden at the main resort Bohol Bee Farm.

Every time I have friends from other places who come to visit Bohol, I would always recommend a bite to eat at this place and ask "Have you eaten Bougainvillea?".  Ordering their garden salad is a chance to eat flowers; who says flowers are only for display? The vinaigrette is to die for. It's so good that I could drink it on its own. Haha. Anyway, what's great is you can bring home a bottle of it if you'd like this delicious dressing in your daily salad. They also sell honey, spreads, tea, bread, tableya (cocoa rounds) to name a few.

Garden Salad

Fresh Lemongrass Juice

Seafood Pizza

Meat Pasta

Vegetarian Pizza

Don't ever leave without trying their organic ice cream (Malunggay, Guyabano, and Spicy Ginger flavours are worth trying) and ask the waiter to serve it in the Cab-cab cone to complete the Buzzz Cafe ice cream experience.

To pair the scrumptious food is the distinct warm and homey ambiance with a countryside cottage feel.

My favorite -- Vegetarian Pasta -- gives me a BIG smile
