More Food Adventures: TAPSILOG at CELADON PENSIONNE HOUSE

Shop at More Food Adventures

I am a sucker for TAPSILOG! I swear, if I am asked what I would like for breakfast on a daily basis, my answer would be TAPSILOG. But TAPSILOG that is good, okay? Not the ones where it's done by someone commercially enterprising. But then, of course, if I will eat TAPSILOG everyday of my life, that will shorten it, lol. So I will have to rephrase that question. What breakfast food do you like to eat for two straight days? Two is safer. Meaning, you can change breakfast menu on the third and make it healthier, lol.. That way, you wont have to look for the best weight loss pills to combat the unwanted..

Anyway, I was in Iligan City for the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2011. The fifth installation of Mindanao Bloggers Summits. It was held at the third floor function hall of the CELADON PENSIONNE HOUSE in Barangay San Miguel, Palao, Iligan City. We arrived there as early as 7:30, fifteen minutes before registration even started.. all the way from Cagayan de Oro City. We didn't have breakfast so we promised ourselves to have breakfast after our photo shoot, lol.. We took the liberty of all camera action while no other participants were inside. We had a grand time snapping each other, hahaha..

So when all action were through, we ordered breakfast. It took awhile for them to be served that we had to eat our ordered breakfast at the hall, and no longer at the coffee shop. Good thing, the waiters set up a separate table for us so as not to embarrass us more than we already were....well, we didn't really eat them altogether so people at the stage or the organizers do not get offended. But because of the cheme, I missed snapping my TAPSILOG that morning. But I swear I enjoyed it. Much a good reason for me to order TAPSILOG again the next day, lol. So this morning, I had TAPSILOG again. But I was more in heaven at breakfast because unlike yesterday, we ate at the coffee shop, and TAPSILOG really had the SI.. sinangag or fried rice. And not only that, it was Garlic Fried Rice, OMG! My favorite!

The beef tapa was so yummy! It's tender and flavorful. The funny thing about their coffee shop is the quirky location of its entrance door. It is facing just across the window (and door) to the kitchen where one can enjoy(?) all the smell of food cooking and the sight of the two kitchen staff doing the cooking. With this too, I was able to ask who prepared the Tapa, and I learned a pretty great information. The assistant cook is actually a former cook at one of Cagayan de Oro's food places.. now, all three of us are wondering if the said food place have the same delicious TAPSILOG.. I wish! Then I won't have to go to Iligan City, visit CELADON PENSIONNE HOUSE just for a taste of the TAPSILOG that I have fallen in love with..
