Favorite Stop-over

--munching on Rose and Grace's Spicy Tamarind.

Rose and Grace in Batangas is the family's favorite stop-over when going back to Mindoro or when going here in Manila.

We love pinoy food! From their famous bulalo to those big oysters and shrimps, wooowww, Rose and Grace is REALLY worth the stop (and the trip's delay).

This morning, my brother and I, had a chance to feast again on Rose and Grace. Our dad had a meeting there at 9am and ehem, we tagged along.

First, Jay-R and I, checked on the pasalubong corner of the resto! There were pilipit (that twisted bread with sugar) and giant yema, pastillas, macapuno.. lahat ng matamis andun! Anyway, we bought pilipit, pastillas, giant yema and spicy tamarind. We ordered Bulalo too. We were getting hungry na kase and hindi pa tapos ang meeting ni apapa. So we ate. Sarap ng bone marrow (utak)! The left-over, of course, was for Sam and Max. They'd be excited again! =)

Definitely worth everything. =)

Yeah, I haven't had bulalo in Rose and Grace for a long time. I think that last was when I was still working as a school administrator in Tanauan.

The quality of Rose and Grace's bulalo has deteriorated over the years and its price has gone up. Slowly, they're losing the lutong bahay feel and getting more and more commercialized.

On the plus side, I miss seeing the owner of the place in the parking lot guiding cars into the parking slots. People always mistake him as a parking boy. What's funny is he doesn't refuse the coins they give him for assisting them.

Maybe on your next trip, try going to Sinoy and Trining's bulalo. Their bulalo is tastier and the bopis is to die for.

Enjoy!
