Bacolod Day 3: Campuestohan

10:57 AM
For today's adventure, we're going to Bacolod's famous highland resort, Campuestohan. Set in 5 hectares of land overlooking Mount Makawili, this theme park resort is within 24 km from both the town of Bacolod, and the Marapara Golf and Country Club. The entrance fee is P 150.00 per person but children 2 years old and below are free.


Nants ingonyama bagithi baba! Welcome to Campuestohan!


Huge windmill. Feel like i'm in the Netherlands!


These are the Bonita huts which can accommodate up to 4 persons.


Accommodations range from Native American-style teepees sleeping up to 6 people, to King Kong-themed rooms with flat-screens.


Ice cream for the hot weather.


Nice view


The Shoe house from a famous fairy tale which goes:
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.
She had so many children, she didn’t know what to do;
She gave them some broth without any bread;
Then kissed them all soundly and put them to bed.


Dreamworks' Kung Fu Panda!

Captured by the giant! Help!

Staycation: Regency, Andy's Satti

5:07 PM
School is back! But for us we're still on vacation. Our destination? Zamboanga! This is what we call "staycation", where you go vacationing at the place where you stay. The most important thing is that you are with you're family and you're having lots of fun. Actually, my ate is here for a month-long vacation coz she's working in Cebu. While my brothers and cousins are still on their enrollment, we're making the most out of the last few days before going to school.

June 4 - We decided to wake up early for a morning dip at the pool. We went to Astoria Regency seven in the morning. Wella borrowed his friend's DSLR camera so i took the opportunity to learn how to use it. Here are some of the captured moments of our random escapade.

We're hungry already so went to Andy's Satti House at Tetuan for our breakfast. The weather was gloomy so Satti was the perfect food for us.

Satti is a Tausug food very popular in Western Mindanao. 
This is the "puso" or rice which is wrapped in coconut leaves when cooked.

The "ulam" are various grilled chicken parts such as liver, heart, gizzard or chicken meat. But the basic ulam is the "stick" which is beef meat (see photo below). Of course it's halal-certified , which means no pork! :D

The usual sight in a satti house has this grille. The huge pot contains the hot sauce which you can order as much as you want.

The sauce is made of several spices (like curry, oregano, labuyo), tomato sauce, bagoong, flour and starch. This is the key for a good satti. Different satti houses have different recepies and combinations. Some put peanut butter which i like if blended well. Here's a blog on how to make satti.
