We went to Subic to scout for a place for our company outing.
It was our first to pass along the SCTEx. The road is still nice and still maluwag, must be because it's still new and it's a weekday. The rate from Clark Logistics to Tibo is Php 112.00 and another Php 19.00 for the SBMA Hi-way for Class 1 vehicles.
First stop was All Hands Beach Resort, as recommended by a friend. It was just A-Ok so we went to check other resorts. We didn't like how the tables were located so close to the shoreline making it feel so crowded.
On our way to the next stop, I was hoping to pass by some monkeys to show Summer. And I saw 2 of them by the side of the road. Kuya even reversed the car just so we can stop right in front of the monkeys. They started climbing back into the forest. But there were so much of them Summer was able to recognize them among the trees. We even threw some chips and a monkey approached it to eat them. Summer was so amazed. Happy na naman ako hehehe.
Next stop was Camayan Beach Resort, as recommended by a friend and an uncle, same resort owned and operated by Ocean Park Adventure. We had our lunch here. I ordered for Beef and Mushroom Salpicao, ok lang. The place is more expensive than All Hands and far better. If approved, we might have our company outing here.
We passed by Zoobic Safari. Along the road leading to the safari, there were lots of horses. Sad to say, some were painted black and white to make it look like a zebra. I felt so sorry for these animals. But I so wanted to go back to this place. You can take pictures with a live cub! And with the train ride, you can buy a chicken which they can feed the tiger right on the roof your ride seeing the tiger through the glass roof. And at the entrance, you can already see healthy tigers. There is even a white tiger and another tiger with a leash separated from the guests with just a cordon. I so want to have a close encounter with these tigers, yet a safe one ha! Photos below were taken from the entrance, without paying the fee yet. Those are sure effective teasers for me hehehe.
And how it ended yummy?
We dropped by the All Meat Store to buy steaks! We bought angus beef rib-eye steaks and US burger patties. We also dropped by a duty free shop to buy some groceries.
Omar and Kuya grilled the steaks, sausages, patties and vegetables, Omar prepared the gravy, Ate Bing did the mashed potato, I did a mango crepe for dessert, and Daddy opened a bottle of red wine.
Another sumptuous dinner. So filling and so rare since we almost always eat seafoods over meat. And the bonding with the participation from everybody made it more special unlike other dinners where only Mommy was involved with the preparation hehehe.
Syempre pa, we have to do our shopping after mass. We bought suman, kasoy, and toys for Summer my mom used to buy for me - clay pots and fruits. Next year, I plan to buy the horse made of paper mache for Summer.
We were able to find an all you can eat breakfast along Examiner St. They served garlic rice, pandesal, tuyo, scrambled eggs, bacon, longganisa, arroz caldo, champorado, and salted eggs with fruit cocktail for dessert. Ok sana kaya lang they are under staff. Ang tagal magrefill. Kung diner dash lang, matagal na silang game over. Ilang beses ka babalik sa buffet table at babalik sa upuan mo na walang nakukuha.
Tapos na summer. Tag-ulan na naman. Another year to prepare for summer next year.
