Isdaan Floating Resto-Fun Park Part One : the Food

29 October 2012
Isdaan Floating Resto-Fun Park
National Highway, Calauan, Laguna

My GF and I went to her sister's home in Sto. Tomas, Batangas to visit her and her kids plus a quick tour in Laguna-Batangas Area. As part of the Itinerary we went to Isdaan Resto-Fun Park in Calauan, Laguna for lunch after our short stops in San Pablo and Nagcarlan towns (also in Laguna)

Quick facts:
* Isdaan Floating Resto-Fun Park is claimed by others to be located in Bay(,Laguna) but its NOT. It's Politically under the town of Calauan just right after Bay.
*  Isdaan Floating Resto-Fun Park is under and managed by Bario Fiesta group of companies, which includes: Bakahan at Manukan; Bario Fiesta; and Singing Cooks and Waiters. Thus the place have four (4) restos in one.
* The First Isadaan Resto-Fun Park is located in Gerona, Tarlac and soon they will open a new branch in Talavera, Nueva Ecija

For the first part, I'll share to you what we ordered. As I mentioned, the place is like having four restos in one place thus the menu is so big and its hard to choose for all of them are a bit pricey but deliciously good.

GF and her sister placed the order as I roam around with her sister's two kids and cousin for a picture taking. Here's what they had ordered and as early as now, I'll tell you that all are so good.

Every fiesta have rice so since we are a total of 6 pax we had two "Bagong Saing sa Kaldero". Each Kaldero is good for 2-3 pax. See that spoon? It's not a normal serving spoon, its just a simple table spoon we used as a serving spoon. Thats how small the pot is.

Pros: Nothing beats a newly cooked rice strait for the pot. Much cheaper than ordering individually cupped rice.
Cons : Each pot have burned  rice and they are a big waste and it affects the taste. We had about more than a cup of burned rice.


What I do love about their "sisters" tag team, they ordered a dish per food group:

For Appetizers and Salad we had "Enseladang Talong" and "Tinadtad na Mangga"

For the pork we had two: "Inihaw na Spareribs" and "Lechon Kawali"

Then as for our soup and chicken we had "Tinolang Manok". GF's Sister said that while we are all away -for our picture taking - they served the Tinola incased in a bamboo tube - Kapangpangans call it "binulo" - then poured in this bowl.

Pro: Serving it in Binulo style makes it more "pinoy".
Con: They used a bit ripe papaya thus it dosen't taste like good'old Tinola.

Lastly to quench our thirst -from our travel, from the sunny heat and as we say "panulak", we had three pitchers of Ice Tea.

Over all Pros: They are all good and Tasty
Over all Cons: for a big guy like me, their serving as somehow not big enough for me. If you share it, you'll all get a bit.

Verdict:

Ambiance = 6/5 you'l be transported to another place like Bali or Thailand.
Food Taste = 5/5 except for the tinola which is 4/5.
Budget = 3/5 its abit high priced compared to its serving.
Service = 6/5 they are so honest, courteous and friendly.

To get there:
*by Bus: Ride a bus en route to Sta. Cruz, Laguna and they will drop you off on site.

*by Private: Right turn after SLEX / ATeX Calamba Exit's roundabout to Sta. Cruz, Laguna just right after Bay-Calauan Boarder (SLEX-Calamba-Los Banos-Bay-Calauan)

07 November 2012

My sister Jenn was invited by Frankie’s New York Buffalo Wings to cover their Resto, and I’m so lucky for tagging me along.

We were greeted by Mr. Ed Firmalo and after the usual introductions he gave us a feast for us to sample on:

For Starters, he gave us Spaghetti Bolognese and Nachos.

Then for the main event he gave us not one but four (4) flavors of their house specialty Buffalo Wings:

Frankie’s Classic, Frankie’s Special, Garlic Parmesan and Honey Mustard.

Their serving is so big for the two of us so I just sampled a piece on each flavor. In the middle of our feast, he gave us more: their Boneless Buffalo Classic Rice Meal and a BBQ Chicken Burger.

Its really a big feast and I even did not took rice, I just sampled each chicken piece. We are so full and there’s one more for the road, the New York Cheesecake for dessert.

Since we haven’t finished it all, we gladly accepted his offer to take out our leftovers so that our mother and sister can also have a bite.

My Comments:

The Frankie’s Classic Buffalo Wings are hot and spicy. I love its taste but it’s hot for me. I love hot and spicy food but this one, I’ll need a reinforcement of extra rice and extra soda and more time to finish.

All have a generous serving; if you are a couple on a shoestring, you can share it for more savings and romantic scene.

The burger has a big patty – and it’s not ground but thigh fillet – its slides of its bun.

The cheesecake is a “must-have”.

The entire places (the City Golf Plaza) have a common water closet (WC) thus each tenants don’t have its own WCs only sink for hand washing.

Best place for “barkada nights”.

My Verdicts:

Flavour = 5/5
Budget Friendly = 5/5
Ambiance = 5/5
