Wonderful Wedding Weekend Part 3: Of Enting's and Sweet Endings

When we first came to Bacolod City in early 2008, my friend Annabee treated us to lunch at Ping-ping's. But before we even got there, the cab driver pulled us up at Enting's. Annabee argued Ping-ping's is a better place, so off we went. We forgot all about Enting's until hunger took us walking a few steps away from L' Fisher to - guess what? Enting's.


It's the typical seafood grill place - big fresh juicy seafood, cooked any way you like and ALWAYS ending up being the best anyone's ever tasted - but the price is so.much.cheaper. Nuff said.

Foodie Foursome: with Lizza & Pat, and what's left of the first wave of our Enting's lunch. Pat took the photos of chicken inasal & scallops.

When we've explored the hotel thoroughly enough, we crossed the street to Calea, Bacolod's most popular coffee and cake place. I loved the fact that Noy and I are in a group, so we got to taste a lot of their cakes. I thought the cakes looked too sweet for me (I don't like anything very sweet) but after the first bite of my tiramisu I stopped stereotyping.


After the first bite of Lizza's white chocolate cheesecake in strawberry syrup , I ordered myself to stop hating that other girl guest who looked at my cleavage in the elevator like the hotel was enormous we won't see each other again.


After the first bite at Noy's chocolate ice cream cake I declared myself happy, content, and in peace.


The Calea experience won't be complete though, as they say, without having a taste of their signature chocolate cake. It's thick and fluffy and had generous chewy light chocolate sauce in between its layers.


Here are more Calea favorite treats - blueberry cheesecake and cafe latte. Heartwarming =)


The next day I shared the happiness with Annabee, who was recovering from pneumonia at the Riverside Hospital. Talk about bad timing.

The Calea muffins I never got to taste, but happily gave to a sick friend.

Bad timing apparently doesn't exist at the whole Mel & Rhea wedding thing. The exciting vehicle that took us to La Salle picked us up at 1 pm and delivered us safely to the Silay Airport 3 hours before departure.


The new Silay Airport is like a mini-Terminal 3. It's clean, it's modern, it's sleek, it's bright, and has wide parking spaces.


I love the banig detail on the walls. So creative.


The predep area seems that it's got as much food/snack choices as that in the bigger airports. Plus other services too.

It's clean and spacious. The seats are comfortable. The toilets aren't bad either.

The seats really are comfortable.

The entire second floor of the airport has a nice sweeping view of a mountain and the ricefields surrounding it.


Again, we love PAL =)

Econolight!


Cheers Rhea & Mel! We had a wickedly wonderful weekend!
