Lunch at Cafe 1228 Buffet Restaurant inside New World Makati Hotel

Past due belated birthday for Tita Edna and Carmina treated by Tito Boni. Among our friendship there is someone taking turns treating us for a meal of their choice. Tita Edna called me up letting me know we'll be having lunch on August 14, 2024. Finding out  New World Makati Hotel  was having an anniversary the food inside  Cafe 1228  had a promotion. Tito Boni said sure let's see each other it will be my treat for you. It is Carmina's first time to dine in eat some international food at Cafe 1228. Tita Edna had made a reservation upon entering New World Makati Hotel you will pass through security. Entering the lobby going to the left-hand side is the Cafe 1228 informing the person how many you are giving the name who it is the reservation under. The person will lead you to the table and you can begin starting off getting your food. The time frame to get your meal is at two o'clock in the afternoon. Mom Violy wanted some beef. Fresh Crabs My tips are bringing some wipes

Road Trip to Cabanatuan City, Philippines



Road trip to Cabanatuan City from Manila is three to four hours drive depending what route you will take. My mom loves taking the back road to buy fruits, vegetables, salted egg, and balut before we reach our destination.

Stop # 1:

No one can live out with watermelon you see every time you pass by and this is one thing my mom loves to eat either to blend to make a watermelon smoothie or cut up from the refrigerator.

Price of each watermelon is PHP 70.00 ($1.40)



Stop # 2:


Vegetables sold on the street onion from red or white and raw uncooked peanuts.

Price of Peanut and onions are PHP 100.00 ($2.00) per kilo


Stop # 3:

Exotic balut in what I had mentioned before in my blog on exotic food you may check it out for your reference.

Jing Jing is a place where you buy it wholesale and the main factory that provide other sellers in the Philippines.



Price on salted egg  per piece PHP 10.00 ($0.20)
Penoy Balut per piece PHP 6.00 ($0.12)
Balut per piece PHP 11.00 ($0.22)

Penoy Balut has no chick just like an hard boiled chicken egg just it is a duck egg

It is best to contact Jing Jing Store before going there if you plan to buy by the dozen. They tend to run out which had happened to us.

Best to bring egg crate containers with you when you plan to buy by the dozen.

Stop # 4:

My favorite stop over is eating fresh grilled or steam white corn on the road. You can also buy white corn that is uncooked and bring home to your family.

Cost for one white corn is PHP 7.00 ($0.14)





Look for Elan to buy white corn we always buy from him because the white corn is so sweet and fresh.

By the time you come home you have so many goodies to eat the next day.
