UPDATE: Kambingan sa Scout Barrio (formerly Tabligan’s)

Mission: Look for and dine at Crazy Chef.

That was Karla’s find which she told me about in December of last year.  She did mention in our Barn experience though that she wasn’t sure if they were still open (startup troubles, something or other. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that they work-ed things out.) To Loakan, Race and I rode, almost getting to PMA. We didn’t see Crazy Chef on either side of the street, both ways, coming and going.  (My bad for not rereading Karla’s directions before embarking on the journey. =b)

We were prepared enough, however, in that we had a backup plan.  We learned a little something about how to do proper recon, from my brother. *hee

Plan B:  Tabligan Kambingan sa Scout Barrio … and what a great fallback it was. (“,)

Kubong Sawali and My Attempt for A Last Summer Hurrah

Come to think of it, I didn’t really go on any kind of summer get away this year.  (Not that that matters.  There’s always rainy season, dry&cold season … and the beauty of that, we’ll get the resorts all to ourselves. *snickers) To make up for it, Race and I decided to have foodstuff that has a summer quality to it.

Forecast at Casa Pizzeria: A Downpour of Pizza with A Chance of Pasta

It’s been said (and joked about) that being a weatherman is probably the best job that one could ever have.  Their justification: “It’s the only job you can keep while being wrong 80% of the time.”

Speaking of weather, we’ve been having some really strange and unpredictable ones of late and when it’s monsoon-y one day, it’s warm (even scorching hot *shyeew) and fine and dandy on another.  Today (06/17/2013), we’ve got a tropical depression in the Philippine area of responsibility and thank the gods, it’s not rearing its ugly head yet. (Hope it just fizzles out … hate stormy weather =b).

Casa Pizzeria/De Leon Pizza inside the casa

Inside the little casa … Room 306 De Leon Building is not necessarily on the “third” floor.  Enter the building from the Session Road entrance, the casa is the door on the right before you get to Western Union. (No flights of stairs to climb.)
