The artichoke soup was really delicious, and nice and warm. The butternut squash soup on the other hand was cold and not very appetizing because of it. Thank goodness there were two to choose from.

These were delicious little bites compliments of the chef. I liked that it was made with real crab and not imitation.

Mesa, Boracay PHILIPPINES

This was a very different dish for me. I liked the pomelo wedges and the toasted coconut was good, but I’m still on the fence regarding the milky dressing. It didn’t taste bad, but I’m not sure that it added to the flavors of the salad. Latik refers to solid coconut curds, by the way, but I had difficulty differentiating them from the toasted shaved coconut. I did like the presentation in the banana leaf!

Sharetea, Boracay PHILIPPINES

I love boba milk teas! Sure they’re just milky sugar bombs, but that doesn’t mean I don’t crave them every once in a while. And they’re great to drink on the beach because they’re nice and cold. The pearls are fun to eat and the entire drinks is just yummy. 🙂

Nightlife in Boracay. I thought this pics turned out cool. The disco lights flashed at just the right time to give an awesome filtered effect. #nofilter
