Kitchen is my Sandbox Living alone, you have to create your own excitement. I found it a long time ago - playing in the kitchen - it's my sandbox. That's why it's important for me to have a functioning kitchen if I decide to stay long in any place.
Best Lechon Sandwich on the planet
Cracked Wheat Bread
Once you make your own bread at home, you'll never go back to store-bought bread. This time, I make this bread using a mix of cracked wheat and bread flour.
French Toast
French Toast has always been my comfort food. Instead of milk, I use coconut cream for a richer texture and creamier taste. I also like my toast a little dark. Cinnamon and vanilla are a perfect pair for this.

Lechon Sandwich
The picture doesn't do justice, but this is perhaps one of the best sandwiches I ever made. The preparation should give you a better idea how it tastes :)

Pizza
Pizza is a tradition to me. I will find a way to make it even if don't have the proper equipment. I've crafted homemade pizza on a rice cooker, on a Weber barbeque grill, and now on a wok - if there is a will, there is a way.

Ending Thoughts The kitchen is a playground. You can make magic. Your only limit is your imagination.
(July 9, 2024) My much-awaited sikwatehan has finally opened up - Mangaon ta sa Hangos. It's an upscale sikwatehan where you are comfortably seated in a garden like-ish setting and properly served. The menu is simple and the price is reasonably sound compared to a roadside sikwatehan. The food? That's where it shines!...more »»

Bohol Travel Info/Tips
Bohol FYI / Tips
the tourist area where most of the hotels, restaurants, ticket offices, tour operators are, is located within the Alona Beach area
the tourist attractions in Bohol are far apart and spread-out. It would be difficult to visit them all using public mass transit. Better hire a van (P3500/day) if in a big group, or rent a motorcycle (P400/day + gas)
Bohol relies on its tourism for revenue. As expected, everything they can capitalize on from tourism is extensively used and developed
Tagbilaran Port to Panglao
You can charter any tricycle from the port all the way to Panglao (~P300), but if you want to do it on the cheap,
don't take the tricycles lined-up inside the port. Walk past the port gate and immediately outside, you'll see many tricycles. Take one to the bus terminal in Dao (~P15)
in Dao, take the jeep that plies the Panglao route (~P20)

Things to do, Places to go in Bohol
Chocolate Hills - this is a clustering of more than 1200 hills within a 50km2 area. They range in height from 30-50 meters. What's unusual is their near-perfect conical shape resembling an individual chocolate chip. No one knows how they were formed. Entrance is P50/pax.
Tarsier Conservation Area - located Upper Bonbon, Loboc. The tarsiers are no longer being played at by tourists as circus props, but instead, visitors now view them in cordoned-off areas in their natural 6ha habitat. As they are territorial and nocturnal, they are predictable on where they can be viewed. P50/pax.
Alona Beach (Panglao) - Alona Beach is the tourist hub of Bohol. It has 1.5 kms of white sand beach lined-up by bars, hotels and restos. Alona is also the jump-off point for Balicasag Island, a world class dive destination.
Danao Adventure Park - located in Barangay Magtangtang, 72 kms (2 hours ride) from Tagbilaran. Adventure activities include river trekking, tyrolean traverse, rappelling, bouldering, rock climbing and ziplining.
