Where to Eat in Liliw, Laguna: Chef Mau

-

If there is something that I will bet that will make people come to Liliw, it most definitely will be Chef Mau's restaurant.   Liliw is one of the smaller towns of Laguna, a province in the south of Luzon.  It is popular for its shoe industry that is really gaining attention and popularity nationwide because of their colorful appearance and casual appeal.   Chef Mau's is a motorists dream because of the big serving and very reasonable price of  their menu which is a combination of local and international fare.


A small serving of hotpot would be a good opening salvo, especially on rainy days.  Not only is it tasty but also very filling.  As you can see, there are heavy contents to it.  It's already a complete meal itself. Aside from the common spices, Chef Mau's hot pot has thin noodles, slices of meat and thin egg fries that add to its substance. This serving costs only  P80.

This number is not your usual pansit because it is pansit lechon. It's the usual pansit but Chef Mau's creativity made it an original creation.  This serving is good for two or three people and costs a very affordable P110 only.




According to one frequent customer, this is one of Chef Mau's bestseller, it's stuffed eggplant.  The main ingredient of the stuffing is pork sausage.  I love this because the crispiness does not hurt my teeth and the sauce is not overwhelming.   A serving costs P90 only.




Though chicken cordon bleu is also served by other restaurants, I liked Chef Mau's cordon bleu because the chicken is soft and the sauce has a subtle taste to it.  This serving might be good for 1
person only, otherwise 2 or more people sharing it will be disastrous. 



Does this remind you of a tortang itlog or omelette?  It is vegetable and squid fritata that I personally ordered because I like omelettes such as cheese, tuna, etc.    Fritata is the Italian equivalent of omelette.  It really looks easy to prepare if you like simple cooking.  Adding an herb ingredient to it should do the trick.  This is only P80 a serving.


Can you guess what this is?  Of course the topping is the famous cheese/ube (purple yam) ice cream, but the base is cassave cake. Cassava is a kind of root crop that is often used in native deserts not only in the Philippines but also in other countries where cassava is bountiful.  Cooking cassava must be done very carefully and expertly because it contains toxins.  This desert is aptly called: cassava a la mode. 


If you ever find yourself cruising by Liliw, don't forget to make a stop at Chef Mau's and try their dishes which will really make you come back again.  This 'bahay kubo' is far from simple, literally and figuratively.  The place is welcoming and kept clean by the hospitable staff.

Circle of Fun is the Latest attraction in Quezon City Memorial Circle

I was in Quezon Memorial Circle this afternoon and I chanced upon this mini amusement center currently being constructed inside the big Quezon City landmark.  This new attraction at the QCMC showcases thrilling rides like the Wild Wind.  This is actually like the Space Shuttle of Enchanted Kingdom in Santa Rosa, Laguna.  It is a modified form of the traditional roller-coaster.  There are also rides for the little ones like the usual water bump cars.  And the horror rides which I will dare not ride because I do not have the kind of heart that can withstand intense fear.   While I laud the Quezon City government for this endeavor of providing a small amusement park for the residents of Quezon City so that they do not have to go all the way to Star City or Enchanted Kingdom to be able to experience the different rides, I can't help but feel dismayed over the changes in the scenery inside the memorial.  I frequented the place way, way back whe...

    One of the reasons that tourists go to Mt. Mayon in droves is the ATV Adventure.   This activity allows tourists to go to the foot of Mt.  Mayon and see the beauty of this great lady up close by means of an all-terrain vehicle.  Up there, visitors can also enjoy the view of the city of Legaspi.  They can also savor the scent of the clean mountain air and get lots and lots of photographs amid the verdant background.  ATV stands for all-terrain vehicle.  This transportation is especially built to enable riders to get past all kinds of terrain , may it be rough, rocky, watery, sandy, muddy, hilly, etc.  It is basically automatic, but it also has gears (I wouldn't know when to use them, if you ask me.)    Before I started my three-hour drive to the foot of Mt. Mayon, I had a quick dry-run just to test if the machine was working well.  Also I made sure that  I was wearing all the necessary gears to keep me sa...

While enjoying my breakfast of adobong baboy and hot beef soup in Mam and Sir Diner located along the high way in Silay City, I noticed that most of the people around me were mestizas and mestizos so the curiouser I got about the history, not only of Silay but also of Negros Occidental. Silay City is also known as the Paris of Negros because of the well-preserved old haciendas , about 30 of them, that provide a glimpse of life back when it was the leading sugar-producer in the country, examples of these are the Balay Negrense and the Bernardino-Ysabel Jalandoni Home which have been turned into museums for guests to appreciate the history and the culture of the town especially during when hacienderos were the leading figures of society. The Balay Negrense boasts of memorabilia and architectural features dating back 1897 when it was built by Victor F. Gaston, son of Yves Leopold Germain Gaston, a Frenchman who married a Batanguena and later on relocated to Negros. Balay Neg...
