Away for a Day to Subic

I like living in Angeles City but there are times that I just want to escape the place and go somewhere quiet and relaxing.  I thought about going to Subic for the weekend last week and ended up spending my days off there.  It is convenient for me driving to Subic because the SCTex allows me to get there in 1 hour.

First stop while in the Subic area? Bretto's coffeeshop for breakfast.  I read some articles online about their restaurant – they are known to serve good breakfast and good coffee, so I decided to give it a try. Having a big breakfast in the morning would start my day nicely. So, I had their American Breakfast.  It was a big portion and it was delicious. 

Next stop, Camaya coast. But on the way to the hotel, I had few stops on the side of the road because of some cute little monkeys. One of the reason I would definitely come back here. You don't need to go to the Zoo just to see a monkey, they run wild in the forest surrounding the areas.

And for the rest of the day, I spent my beautiful weekends away from home to paradise.

              

Next Stop: Subic

Just recently, I was thinking where we could have our next vacation. Some place where me and my friends can have a good time. And then Subic, Zambales came to mind since a lot of people regard it as a great place to enjoy your vacation.

I thought about the possibilities of where to eat out in case we were overwhelmed with hunger. Apparently, Bretto's has a branch in Olongapo City. We can just drop by there and enjoy the food just the way they are served in Angeles City.

   

And since desserts are one of my favourites, I am planning to have Blueberry Cheesecake if we do visit there. For all of those who already like cheesecake, we all know how comforting and scrumptious it is.

As for Bretto's Olongapo, it is dished up just the way a good cheesecake should be. The creamy chilled cheese cake is topped with your choice of mango puree, strawberry, blueberry, or orange.

Now I have more than one reason to visit Zambales.

Best Summer Deal

Summer is approaching here in the Philippines and planning a summer vacation excites me with many great ideas of what to do, where to go and more. As a fresh collage graduate, my parents thought about going somewhere and they let me choose where to go as a reward for passing my marketing course. 

So, I chose Subic in Olongapo because it’s closer to Manila, easy to drive to, and the best thing - people always come here for the beach.  Its convenient – even if is not that great like a white sand in Boracay. 

  

Anyway, throwing a beach barbecue party was a great idea. Everybody was so excited especially my younger brother. I took my two best friends as well. 

After we checked in to the hotel, we decided to drive around the area before hitting the market and the beach for the little party. And because we didn't know about the area that much, luckily there was a very nice receptionist in the hotel who helped us out – she gave some advice on where to find the things that we were going to use in the barbecue party. 

One of the places that she recommended was this place called Bretto's Deli and Grocery. Thank goodness, we didn't have to go somewhere else to eat because they had a coffee shop as well, as we were all feeling hungry.

I noticed that most of their customers were ordering hamburgers and sandwiches, so I decided to try their hamburger. Amazing how big their burger was and so delicious. I can see now why their customers like it.

After we ate, we hit the grocery and started grabbing what we needed for the barbecue party. It was so convenient – this place is where you can find anything you need.  They carry meats, breads, sausages, vegetables, wines and many more. 

Finally, we hit the beach and started preparing some dishes. Me and my friends did the sausage and meat grilling while drinking some wines too :-) 

My vacation was so awesome and so us everyone. Good food and good place. I will definitely recommend to my friends those places that I found especially the Bretto's coffeeshop with their unique burgers and sandwiches.Just don't forget to put it on your lists of where to go.
