Fundacion Pacita: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

Fundacion Pacita not only provides an accomodation with an awesome view of the Batan island but, it also provides awesome food!

Staying there for 4 days and 3 nights, we had the privilege to eat there several times. Breakfast is included in our accommodation package. Fundacion Pacita is just 10minutes away from Basco Airport. Upon arriving in Fundacion Pacita, I registered in their office then walked to the main lodging building, which is less than a minute away. It was everything I expected! It's even better in real life than in the photos!

We went to the room an ate our continental breakfast around 11am (no, not brunch. We had lunch around 2pm that day, as per our request)

Top to bottom: Fruit platter (the one with orange), Utensils (basket with pink cloth), Soft bread (basket with red cloth), scrambled eggs, Orange and Strawberry Jam (left) and Tuna spread (right).

The tuna spread was exceptional! Everyone in our group liked it. My favorite was the strawberry jam.http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1220/thumbsupfacebooklike.jpg

I was hungry the second day that I forgot to take a photograph of the breakfast fruit platter. Anyway, we were served sliced oranges for our 2nd and 3rd day breakfast. 2nd day breakfast main course consists of Rice, egg and corned beef (Cornsilog?)

Cream Soup - Not as good as it looks

 Roasted Chicken - A bit dry. Veggie sidings are good though http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1220/thumbsupfacebooklike.jpg

Had a bad experience with Maha-Blanca when I was a kid. I overate, got indigestion and got sick. *baaarf*

Snack? Coffee Break at Fundacion Pacita
Since I checked that the coffee was around 98.00 pesos per cup in Fundacion Pacita, I took the liberty and brought Starbucks VIA Ready Brew. Cheaper, gourmet yet instant! http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/1220/thumbsupfacebooklike.jpg

My ideal mix: 2 packs of coffee mate, 2 packs of sugar, 1 cup of hot water and 1 sachet of any of the 3 variants of Starbucks VIA Ready Brew.

Watch out for more restaurant posts here because we ate in several Batanes restaurants!
