We were pretty tired from the long drive from Sagay to our hotel. I had just enough time for a cool shower, and we were ready for dinner by 7pm. Our choice? 21 Bar and Restaurant, which is one of the classiest restaurants in town. Turns out that a roast beef buffet was available at P400 per head--we just couldn't resist! The Angus meat was quite soft and flavorful, the thin cuts were done Philly style, with a lot of mushroom sauce. The meal came with appetizers, soup, salad and dessert, and I was able to go back more than a couple of times. Note that I had used up all my energy in Carbin Reef, and the buffet dinner more than made up for all the calories that I had burned.
A few guys in the group were worried about heavy beef intake, and decided to feast on liempo, crispy pata and kare-kare instead. I heard that the batchoy of the restaurant was very good, and was luckily able to mooch a hot steaming bowl of soup. It was darn good, noodles were cooked al dente, liver slices were tender, chicharon bits were crispy. I found the soup slightly salty, but I surmised that since I had only a few strands of noodles, this was not proportionately enough to completely absorb the taste of the soup. Will I return? Well, of course, hands down favorite!
