In the Philippines it is often difficult to find a good restaurant with original Filipino cuisine. Either you go to a resort or a big western hotel and you eat some western style food. Or you go to an eatery and make your choice out of several pots.

The Tabing Dagat in Cagayan de Oro makes the difference. Situated in Opol, some 20 minutes by car from Cagayan de Oro, you find the Tabing Dagat at the end of a pier like you find them in Brighton or Bournemouth.

The decoration is all bamboo and the menu card makes you dream. With life piano music in the background, a fresh sea breeze and candle light, your dinner becomes a really special moment.

The food quality and the presentation are outstanding. The seafood is certified catch of the day. Think of 3 hours for a dinner with friends and do reserve a table when you plan to go to the Tabing Dagat during weekends. +63 8822 754488 or send a mail: tbng_dagat@yahoo.com

And last but not least: The prices are absolutely friendly. Think of PHP 600 per person (various frehs seafood including wine, beer and soft drinks)

Bon appetit.

So, if you are an admirer of natural beauty, get up early.



Mayon's activity is currently very low in spite of the permanent gas and steam cloud in the crater. But beware! About every 23 months, the Mayon volcano erupts, sometimes gently but often violent. If you are a volcano-addict, please vote for Mayon in the election of the New 7 Natural Wonders.

WARNING: This volcano is smoking! (And as they say, smoking may be dangerous...). This advice comes from PHILVOLCS an not the WHO ;-)



Vote for Mount Mayon: New 7 Natural Wonders.

My thanks to Ierene Cortez for having thrown me out of the bed just in time. Without her, these pictures would been filled with clouds.

During the trip he explained to me the problem of high gasoline prices. The liter is now at PHP 64 in Cagayan de Oro. The ride to the airport and back needs about 2 liters. If the taxi is empty on its way back to town, the driver looses about PHP 10.

The driver also told me that in the morning there are no passengers from the airport back to town. And he had to go back to town, otherwise he would make no business until 10:00am

I gave him PHP 140. A bit less than he had asked for, but more than the meter showed.]]> Philippine News http://www.silent-gardens.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080704-075501 The Silent Garden Team Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:55:01 GMT http://www.silent-gardens.com/blog/comments.php?y=08&m=07&entry=entry080704-075501 http://www.silent-gardens.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry080702-204722 Silent Gardens did nearly hit the 10,000 visitors mark in June 2008.
