Plato Wraps Restaurant, Calasiao, PangasinanPosted by Ada on Category: Foods and Drinks, Luzon, Pangasinan, Restaurant | 14 Comments |
Plato Wraps Restaurant is located in Calasiao, Pangasinan. I can remember many times eating at their food carts here in Manila, their unique grilled sandwich made me try it as it looks healthy too. I was on pesco-vegetarian diet for two months last year and always order their Very Veggie sandwich. It has the right creaminess and texture in the mouth. I also tried Chunky Chicken and Yummy Tuna and both are delectable. They only serve healthy sandwiched by the way.
When Mica introduced us Plato Wraps Restaurant, we were like, “May restaurant pala ang Plato Wraps!” (So, Plato Wraps have restaurant). Plato Wraps originated in Dagupan City, Pangasinan.
I like the restaurant’s overall interior, the atmosphere, lights, seatings, and decors, are classic Filipino style. The place is neat and refreshingly comfortable. We were greeted warmly by the staffs and showed their menu. Continue reading »

Puerto Del Sol Beach Resort, Bolinao PangasinanPosted by Ada on Category: Hotel, Luzon, Pangasinan | 34 Comments |
After a blistful adventure get away to Hundred Islands, we just can’t wait to arrive in Bolinao which will be our last destination. We chose Puerto Del Sol as our place to stay.
I’ve only heard about Puerto Del Sol from true-blooded Pangasinense bloggers Mica and Anton. I thought it was just an ordinary beach resort but upon arriving, I am surprised with the ultimate elegance of the resort and a very warm service of staffs. A refreshing buko juice drink welcomed us from our 45-minute to 1-hour trip from Alaminos. Then we headed to our rooms.
I am totally inlove with their Mediterranean-inspired rooms. We chose Mansion Villa (deluxe room). We are four in this room and costs P5,700 ($130) per night inclusive of breakfast. Continue reading »

Hundred Islands National Park, Alaminos CityPosted by Ada on Category: Luzon, Pangasinan | 17 Comments |
I thought Hundred Islands doesn’t really have 100 islands since it looks like there are only 50 to 60 islands, but counting from top, there are almost 124 islands and islets (124 high tide and 123 during low tide). Of course we didn’t count it from top, it’s according to the Department of Tourism of Alaminos.
How to get to Hundred Islands. From Manila, ride a public bus lines namely Victory Liner and Five Star bound to Alaminos. Travel time is 5 to 6 hours. If you’re from Baguio, Dagupan, Subic, Tarlac, or Zambales, just took the bus bound to Alaminos. Upon arrival to Alaminos terminal, ride a tricycle to bring you to Lucap Wharf which is 10 to 15 minutes away. When you get to the wharf, find Hundred Islands National Park Center staff to assist you regarding renting boat, activities, and other information you’ll need for your adventure!
The brave kid who assisted us going there.
Island Hopping. We landed first on Governor’s Island where the said Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition took place during Kim and Gerald season. The Governor’s island is the only island which will give you a breathtaking overlooking view from top of some islands and islets. This is the only perfect spot for photo op. Continue reading »
