Advianne's Cafe

One of the negative features of vacationing along the Zambales coastline is that there is a dearth of eateries, even in town centers.  Of course the fast food companies manage to set up their branches around the public markets, but good local cuisine is really hard to come by. It's a sad thing since tourism can be a good source of income for the provine--the beaches are clean and free of rocky crags and dangerous cliffs, the waters are clear, and the province is easily accessible from Manila by the SCTEX.  We reached the capital town of Iba after a 20 minute drive from our resort in Botolan, and we were lucky to chance upon Advianne's Cafe. It was close to 1:30pm and the kids were famished.  Everyone had a chance to order something:

Mozarella Fingers

Gambas

Lechon Kawali

Sisig

Pork Curry

Sinampalukang Manok

Putanesca

Pesto

Diablo

Carbonara

Quattro Formaggi

Pepperoni

Margherita

The annual family outing was really fun, we finally found a place to dine in after several misses!  The cafe staff were probably overwhelmed when 11 of us entered the restaurant; orders were cooked and served one by one, and we finished having lunch at 3:30 pm.  It was quite understandable though; they probably just had one cook on duty.  Not bad for around P200 per person, and we are definitely not complaining.
