It Takes a Ketchup Food Community to Make a Happy Tummy

Or is it the other way around? ^^,

No matter.  But just so you know, before any of the other eating places at the Ketchup Food Community came to be, there was Happy Tummy.  A Thai restaurant opening for business at the most opportune time (when people became more receptive to Thai cuisine), they serve pad Thai, chicken pandan, fried tilapia in tamarind sauce, som tam salad, Thai iced tea and more.  What with the mega flavors that their offering of Thai dishes have, you can order up something as simple as eggplant salad and eat it viand-like with bagoong rice or maybe the more downplayed salty flavor rice – Thai rice.  A good and filling meal for a happy tummy.  (“,)  That’s what Race and I did the first time we visited this restaurant.  Hanging out in one of their dining tables in a hut, we had happy tummies in no time.

‘Tradisyon-al’ Breakfast Dining Experience at Tradisyon Coffee Shop

Tradisyon, simply translates in English as tradition.  By definition, this is a long established custom that has been passed on from one generation to the next.

At Tradisyon Coffee Shop, they didn’t just offer us traditional fare (Pinoy comfort food as they like to call it =D) for our breakfast buffet.  Actually, they had a wide range of options for us that day (pancake, eggs, vegetables with dressing choices of Caesar dressing or strawberry dressing, fresh fruit slices, loaf bread and various jams, etc.).  What I meant by a traditional experience relates to the kind of service we got from this establishment.

Filipinos are known for being a hospitable and warm bunch of people.  That’s just what I saw and felt dining here.  (“,)  (And here I thought, the pure and true Philippine hospitality is dead.)

When Marooned on Blackbeard’s Seafood Island…

When marooned in Blackbeard’s Seafood Island, there’s only one thing to do and that’s TO EAT.  In thinking about the best dishes that you could get for yourself and your crew,  boodle fight, I think, is your best choice here.  Luckily, there’s more than one type of boodle fight available at this establishment.
