Kalilangan Festival 2010: Day 2 In General Santos

Day 2: Eat Like There’s No Tomorrow

We didn’t have anything scheduled for Day 2. I started the day with coffee, panini and choco dome from Coffee Club 101. Before noon, Orman picked us up and announced that we were going to have lunch somewhere with Francis Sablon of Zion Travel. It was Brendel and Lyle who told me that “somewhere” translates to Tupi. I didn’t have any idea how far it was from GenSan city proper until we got to the place. I turned on my GPS to check our exact location, and boy was I thrilled to find out that we actually traveled 37kms just to have lunch at the famous Nadie’s Chicken Hauz.

After the great lunch, we dropped by Blooming Petals to check out their flower produce. Too bad they were currently spraying the plants, so we were not allowed to check out the farm. I was able to take a few snapshots of the freshly picked flowers though.

The intense heat was making everybody uneasy and tired. We were about to go home when an angel, a.k.a. Sir Francis, mentioned that there’s this really good halo-halo place just a few kilometers away. In a blink of an eye, everyone was back in the cars. Halo-halo is what everybody needed that time, so off to Koronadal, South Cotabato we went.

Ohaithur, Koronadal City!

Apareja Buko Halo-Halo boasts of using only the freshest ingredients. The halo-halos are served in fresh buko shells. If my memory serves me right, the halo-halo had corn, nata, kaong, banana, sweet potato, tapioca, buko juice, leche flan and of course, ube ice cream.

From Apareja's signage: Made from well-selected, naturally-ripe, and well-cooked ingredients.

Wala lang. I just like this quack-quack photo. I was chasing these ducks while waiting for my halo-halo.

Feeling refreshed , we went back to GenSan to meet up with Ria who wasn’t able to join our South Cotabato adventure because she had lunch with her cousins.  We still had time to burn, so Orman treated as to Ice Crops’ cheesy bacon melt sandwich.

Shared a sandwich with Brendel. But I only gave her the other half of the bun, some cheese and some mushrooms. :p

Dinner time came. Avel and Orman brought us to O-oh lang Fishing Resto & Seafoods Grill. I was planning not to eat dinner anymore because I’ve had too much food earlier, but my mind changed in a blink of an eye after seeing all these:

Curacha

Karagatan Soup

Nilasing na Hipon

And my favorites which I gave 5/5 ratings…

The day ended where I started it. We hung out at Coffee Club 101. Lyle and Avel discussed how to go about with the streaming of Queen of South Mindanao Festivals pageant. The girls, on the other hand turned the coffee shop into a photo studio. Lols.

Hear no Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil

That’s it for NomNomNom Day2 . Prettified Day 3 post is coming up tomorrow. Be well!
