lantaw floating restaurant

if there is one day of the week that me and jp both look forward to, it's sunday. we always make sure that we wake up early to catch the sunrise and/or be enthralled with the beautiful sunset. last sunday, we planned on catching up a new movie since we have not been able to check out the motion picture but when we went to ayala the line was horribly long and i just don't feel like watching so i ask him if we could just spend the afternoon somewhere.

just a few minutes after leaving the packed mall, jp's cousin michelle called up and asked if we can hangout so we picked her up and she decided to guide us to lantaw floating restaurant. she has been to the restaurant 3 times before that afternoon's escapade so she memorized the route pretty well.

well for starters, lantaw is located in at cordova which is a 30-45 min drive from the city. it is advisable to call in first for reservations since the place is almost always packed. if there are no more reservations left and you planned to have a sunset dinner then you have to be there around 5-5:30 in the afternoon.

our timing was just perfect. although we dint get to reserve, we arrived at around 5 so there were still vacant tables inside. it was hot and humid around that time of the day but after a few minutes when the sun is almost to set, the place just transforms beautifully. i may not be able to post really nice pictures because all the nice photos are in jp's iphone but lemme just share some which i got from my email.

in terms of food, the grilled bangus is definitely a must try. there's a different twist in flavor compared to the usual bangus we can order at hukad or stk. their halo-halo was also yummy. sadly, it's not always available because of the not so ordinary sorbet that they use. we were able to try it because michelle kinda 'bullied' the manager in charge and told her that she has gone there 4 times already so she has to have it this time. hahaha
