Admirably Fun! A Birthday treat in Nagsasa Island

After Anawangin were now heading to the island where we will have our overnight stay and it is in “Nagsasa”, before we reached the place we can already see how beautiful the island is, (Overlooking ang view from our bangka) and as soon as we get our feet off the sand in the island, no wasting of time, we ate and swam after.

Nagsasa ikaw na ba yan?

After 15 minutes of boat ride we reached Nagsasa island. There, we met (Mang Johnny) we then introduce ourselves. He instructed us on where to buy things and everything (kay Mang Ador) that we might be needing in the island aside from the ones that we already have, after a lil talk he, together with kuya Joel and Ryan fix our tent, table, food and everything.

Entrance fee in Nagsasa One hundred pesos each, and because we wanted to experience the flame of bonfire we bought it for 100 pesos as far as i could remember, for charcoal to be used in our dinner we paid 20 pesos.

pahinga muna sa duyan..

take turns sa duyan

sarap sa duyan

After magpahinga sa duyan we started to unpacked our things and foods, it seems like we had a mini sari-sari store in the island, tinalo pa ata namin ang tindahan ni Mang Ador..hehehe

dahil takot kaming magutom!

for the night! :)

As soon as we finished unpacking our Baon's for the trip we decided to ate our meryenda, on the other hand the guys together with Mang Johhny and the two boat men already finished preparing all the things that we need for our overnight stay. 

We asked mang Johnny if he could charge the batteries of our cam so that we can use it for our snorkeling activity the next morning, there's no source of electricity in the island and so we had the courage to pleased mang Johnny in our request and it's okay with him.

We had a lil' conversation and he asked us what time they will fetch us in the next morning and so on.. the conversation ends and they bid goodbye to everyone of us.

masaya na kami dahil kakain na kami! :)

sabi ni ate Marilyn magbalat din naman kayo ng itlog!hihi

ang aming tent at lamesa na puno ng pagkain

parang magkasing laki lang sila pero mas malaki yung una sa left. :)

As soon as we finished eating we rest for a moment, gone in different places in the island took photos and swam. (ang negneg na talaga namin..hihi).

Paparazzi shoT! hihi

After we enjoyed the beach we took a bath and had dinner with the presence of bonfire in front of us! Remarkably fun! :)

And that's how we spend our first night in Nagsasa..

Continuously Day 2. :)

Our Anawangin Escapade

After we ate and had our pictorial in the marvelous island of Capones, were now heading to our third stop in “Anawangin Island” most of the campers chose to stay in this island maybe because it is well known by the people, well known in the sense na hindi pa siguro nila alam na may mas maganda pang island (this is based on my conclusion) I must say.

ang liwanag naman ng pic namin hehehe

nauna ulit sila

ayan malapit na kami

Anawangin island

Again sea travel from capones to Anawangin took us 45 minutes, most of our time were spend under the heat of the sun and on the water, kaya no wonder why ang itim namin ng bongga, sobrang malakas din nang alon kaya wala ng masyadong picture on our way. Mabuti na lang magagaling ang mga bangkero namin na sina kuya Joel at Kuya Ryan, kahit malakas ang alon, keri lang,.

bababa na kami...

cottages and boats in Anawangin

As soon as we get off the boat we hurriedly enjoyed the island and continuously took photos.

Continuously Nagsasa Island! 

My First Food Blog / A Taste of MoonLeaf tea

Just to give everyone an insight in my blog, when i decided to write a blog i told myself that i will start it from my past travels and so as of the moment what you can see in my blog were from my travels in the past, the present is still in queue. and for the meantime i will stop writing about my travels in the past to give way to the entries that i need to write first, it's  about one of my favorite things to do. "Foods". :P

I'm not a fan of milk tea's, knowing the growth of the business in the Philippines this year. I've seen shops whenever I went to Mall and other places but i haven't tried it even once until a blogger friend invited me to an event that was organized by open rice, the event gathered 12 bloggers (newbies was welcome and that's me) to tried moonleaf's tea and wrote reviews afterwards.

Moon leaf is a franchising business they operated 28 branches the biggest is located in Maginhawa st., in Katipunan (the location for the event) and another in Makati, they also had branches in Indonesia, Thailand and Germany.

It's Facade

Moonleaf had their unique way with regard to their tea's, they brewed it in their store. All of the products mainly tea's were directly exported from Taiwan, one of the tea products in the world.

well organize

Moonleaf's wants to foster/ build a community "Tambayan" type for their target customers mainly students they also wanted to make milk tea as an experienced for everyone. They value minimalist type of operation and focuses on the excellent quality of their drinks.

Upon seeing the cool and comfortable place of Moonleaf what i felt was the ambiance is good for everyone,  it has a place for those who wanted to chit-chat, smoke and turn their Laptops on and vice versa with a piece of milk tea on their tables.

My suggestion is the place needs a bigger space to accommodate its' customers and also, they  need to refurnished their tables and chairs.  Having said this, the management informed us that this year they will make a major renovations for their stores. With this, customers will definitely feel the community that they want to feel whenever they want to have their cup of milk tea.

full of students

Having seen all the photos posted here on my blog I must say Moonleaf was able to accomplished all the thoughts that they want for their shop.

A good quality of service will welcome all their customers in Moonleaf, everyone needn't wait for too long for their orders to be placed and for them to taste. Staffs were nice and always wears a smile on their face and ready to help all the customers with their needs with their orders.

busy xa

on queue

And the best part of the day is knowing what moonleaf has to offer for their customers of course milk tea and the likes.

The price of milk tea ranges from P 45- P55 for Basic tea's,  P50 - P75 pesos for Milk tea's, P50 - P75 for fruit  and for the add-ons aditional P10 pesos for Milk, Nata, Pearls, Pudding and for Aloe Vera additional P15 pesos.

a choice of yours

sweet red velvet cup cakes, who can't resist?

Milk tea's (Hakka, White Taro and Winter Melon)

As a first timers we tried their best sellers namely Hakka, Winter Melon and White Taro, we passed the milk tea's to ourselves to taste the difference amongst the three. Of course the three had differences, I ordered Hakka, nata and pearl are in perfect blend with the milk tea and you really can tell that you're drinking a tea (lasang-lasa ang tea) i tastes good, the sweetness of the tea is just right. I'd enjoyed the tea.  (pero ang gusto ko sana yung d ko malalasahan yung tea hehehe). Nata and Pearls are soft and sweet. :P

My Hakka :)

I also tried their red velvet cupcake, it was freshly baked and tasty actually one isn't enough hihi. :)

my Hakka and red velvet cup cake :)

Kim ordered winter melon, light and not as sweet as Hakka and mas lasang-lasa ang tea pwedeng-pwede sa Mama ko na mahilig sa tea. :)

Jorge ordered White Taro with pearls and pudding, smooth, sweet and well blended (walang latak ng powder) masarap din yung pudding, amongst the three what i liked the most is the white taro secondly my Hakka and third is the winter melon. 

After all what matters was how you enjoyed your day with your choice of milk tea. :)

the face of the satisfied customer

And that's my POV in Moonleaf's tea even though I'm not a fan of milk tea's this experienced help me to realized that i wanna try another Milk tea from different stores to distinguish which one is the best.
