Lunch at Nesta's in Magallanes St.

Shop at More Food Adventures

So here I am exploring the city again. I needed to withdraw as I wanted to buy pasalubong already. So I went to the capitol where there was a Land Bank ATM. Across the the street was a mini plaza, in front of this beautiful church.

The lady invited me to burn some candles, and pray. Unlike in the usual churches where there were areas designated for candle lighting and prayers, here, they made makeshift candle holders.

 This lady is quite enterprising this way, lol..

 Anyway, just across is the oldest bridge, behind the water fountain. It was a lovely sight for me..

And of course, looking for a place to eat, I came to this side of the city hall. So sad vandalism has caught up with the wall. See the red writings on it? I hate to see clean walls being raped that way.

Just a few feet, and I saw this old eatery called Nesta's... The food looked common except for this fish. I do not know its name. But I smelled Sinigang so right away, I ordered it.

It felt like eating in Barrio Gaisano in Cagayan de Oro, only the people speak a different language. Before moving towards the counter, I couldn't help but get tempted with my favorite Brazo de Mercedes.

 Just one slice makes my heart beat fast, lol.. and my mind telling me to let it pass.. But I couldn't.

 

I'm glad I took the order, for it was really yummy. I should have bought a roll, should I be traveling back already. Instead, I bought packs of their brownies and butterscotch..

Pasalubong #1. hehehe

Lunch at El Zabroso at Gaisano Market Place

I consider this my time off. I have nothing to do yet, so I opted to explore the area before that serious task later this afternoon. So for lunch, I went straight to El Zabroso, which is just a few meters away from the hotel.

 

El Zabroso is famous for its chicken and pizza. I have tasted these before, so with their pasta, when I came to Roxas City last December 2016. I didn't quite like their pasta, it was also from a different branch. But, I did like their chicken, so I ordered it again. However, this time, I found the chicken bland. I guess it depends on what branch??? Or was it a different food company??? Zabroso vs El Zabroso???

Anyhow, I still enjoyed the staff's services. They were all accomodating. I walked away with a slice of Pizza for take out. Passed by the market place, and bought the goodies above. 

For just P 45 this pizza is really good. Cheap but good.. 

More exploration tomorrow..
