Off to Ilocos Norte



     My weekend was spent in Ilocos Norte, one of the country's booming tourist spots and definitely highlights the Philippines' remarkable beauty. It was a memorable trip not only for me but also for my family.

     As for the accomodation, Java Hotel which is located in Laoag City, gave us such a pleasurable and enjoyable stay not to mention the efficient and hospitable hotel staff! Here's their official website.


Java Hotel~ My sis and I had the same reaction when we first arrived... 'Dwarfina's Castle' xD
It's amazing that they have their own swimming pool, tennis court, fitness gym, restaurant, Wifi and many more facilities!
Just look at the hotel's interior~very unique!
These bridges connect the different buildings of the hotel.

We were on a food trip too! Set aside the painful 'D' word, 'Diet'. Eagle's Nest serves a wide range of cuisine, they have dishes from local Ilocano foods to International Japanese foods.



Baby Back Ribs~ one of their specialties!
Puqui Puqui~ a local dish which consists of mashed eggplants, tomatoes and egg.
Pinakbet with Bagnet (bagnet from Ilocos Norte is locally known as chicharon or deep-fried pork meat)~ A local Ilocano dish!
We were  on our way to Pagudpud when we stopped by the town of Pasuquin for their famous biscocho!
Their famous biscocho was almost sold out! But luckily we were just on time! :D
Cape Boujeador also known as Burgos light house is one of the North's cultural heritage

Those gigantic windmills were fantastic!
We really enjoyed our jump shots!
Buying souvenirs!
I got this for Tantei :D
