In every travel destination, food hunting is not an option but a must! And so, upon arrival in the airport on our first day in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, we first proceeded to Ka Inato!

The Restaurant

Ka Inato has a nice landscape. The restaurant welcomed us with a homey feeling, fresh air and artistic interior. The concept is cultural since most of the interior materials are wooden; tables and chairs, the wall and reception area. The plain auburn color of the restaurant is highlighted by colorful wooden Anito sculptures and abstract painting.

The Food
What I love about this resto is that the menu book is entertaining. Even we are too hungry to wait for our food to be served, we still managed to smile because of the uniqueness of the meal names such as “Mga Sari-Saring Pansit” – Walang Kamatayang Pansit, Kambak-Kambak, , Mga pampagana, Sinabawan, Mga pagkaing swak na swak, Bancuber JQ Shake (Banana/Cucumber Shake), etc.

We asked the waitress by the name of Rhea about their best seller food and she recommended us the Inato Chiken Special. It is the inasal version of Ka Inato. We ordered two original flavored Inato (non-spicy) for the guys, Pastor and Ovi and two spicy Chicken Inato for the girls; Ate Aiza and I. They have super spicy and mild, and so we bought mild. Upon serving the chicken platter with rice, cucumber, sliced watermelon and atsara, the look is really mouthwatering. I sliced the spicy chicken breast and tried it. It was really flavorsome; however, the spice is too much! We assumed that the waitress mistakenly served us the extremely spicy one instead of mild. We added Calamares and bought Graham cake for desert, fresh Buko, Choco banana and Mango shake.

The price is very affordable. Meal s are ranging from P 90 –P 200 while drinks and shakes are ranging from P 50 – P120.

Overall, I was satisfied with Ka Inato especially for the experience of dinning in a completely refreshing open restaurant while gazing at stunning artworks and above all, being with the people I really love the most!

During my childhood days, I really love sweets like ice cream, cake, chocolate and candy. As a kid, having a sweet tooth is inescapable. We really crave for something that will tickle our taste buds.

With my age today, (Don’t think that I am too old right now! hehe) everything is different, the way I dress, things I want to do and surprisingly, even my taste buds changed too! In scientific explanation, this is due to eventually wearing out of special sensory cells that make up the taste buds just like any other cells in our body. Anyway, I am happy even though I don’t have a sweet tooth today, my sense of taste doesn’t decrease because if it does, I will be alarmed because this may lead to decreased appetite, poor nutrition and of course it will affect my cooking skill.

Speaking of taste buds, I discovered an ice cream which doesn’t taste so sweet and will satisfy my craving for a desert.

This ice cream sandwich is a product of Dairy Queen.

There is nothing special with this ice cream sandwich. It is a typical vanilla ice cream filled between two wafers. I just like the fact that it is an ice cream and a chocolate wafer yet, it doesn’t taste too sweet. This is best for people like me who are craving for ice cream dessert with the neutralized taste of sugar.

The first time I heard about the Asian Ghost House is in “Unang Hirit”, a morning show in GMA Network. Though I’m not fond of horror stories, it really caught my attention because it is something new to try. We went to Ocean Park as we intended to enter this interesting Horror house. For me, this horror house is unique because of the new concept.They featured legendary horror characters of asia such as sadaco, ghost, Chinese vampire, the meat loving Butcher, Zombie, Cheongsam and Count Dracula. They are really creepy!

The horror house runs from Oct. 2,2012 to Nov.3,2012 - Thurs - Sat. We visited the site on its last day, November 3, 2012, Saturday night.

RATES:

Metrodeal rate: P350.00 - Including Drinks in Liquid Pool and Lounge

Inquiry through Phone: P 350.00 – (including entrance and picture)

On site rate: We asked the person in photo booth and he advised us that buying entrance ticket and paying for a photo separate would be cheaper.

Entrance Ticket: P 200.00

Photo: P 100.00

TOTAL: P 300.00

We only bought one copy of picture so we spent a total of P 500.00 for Asian Ghost House instead of P 700.00 .

Here is the picture

How was the experience inside the Horror House?

Along the way to Ocean Park, I am totally excited to see the Asian Ghost House. I am afraid to miss the experience because this is the last day they will run for this year. Surprisingly, upon entering the door of the Ghost house, I suddenly felt nervous and I stepped back. The staff who will be escorting us to the way hindered me. He said, he will be accompanying us until the end. He also said that there is no touch policy inside. Characters wouldn’t touch us and we shouldn’t touch them too. Okay, I have no choice but to proceed. Whoow! As expected, there is nothing I did but to scream the whole time. I didn’t even see the faces of those characters I longed to see. I am not neurotic actually; I am so “magugulatin talaga”, super! I keep on screaming “Mommy!! Mommy!! And then I have an alternate dialogue. “Kuya!!! Stop it please!!! Ayoko na!! Ayoko na!!”. And then I also said this. “Please stop it! I have a heart illness!”

Haha..I said it to convince them to stop scaring us. But hello! I just realized after that they will won’t because that is their job. The louder the visitor scream, the more effective they were.

At the end door, I still keep on screaming until I noticed that the place is different and there are people walking calmly. It is the Liquid Bar! The horror house set-up is very brilliant. It is just like a long thrilling journey that will end up into a hidden Paradise, a party area with the stroke of aquatic scenery, laser like lights and rocky walls.

To sum it up, we really got what we paid for, for a P200.00 entrance fee. For such quick yet thrilling experience, we ended up the October and welcomed November sensibly.
