Kombira: To Go Or Not To Go?






The name was first heard from an Aunt who mentioned the place to me. She shared that her cousin was almost given a surprise birthday party there, except for the weather
 that did not cooperate which turned the whole plan into a mess. So there, the plan did not materialize and it turned out that her cousin has to know about the party.

The place is named Kombira. This is a Cebuano word which means "a banquet" or "a feast". Seems enticing to me. Yesterday, was my chance to see it after our meeting at the Law Office in the City. And we have to have our lunch there, Ma'am Lucy said.

Off we went. Two Senior Citizens were given a discount. If only I have a Driver's License, I could have a discount too ;)



Menu for the day.

I believed that they do have variety of food served daily. It is not the same everyday. 


How fancy is the tarpaulin ;)
When you're already hungry, you can just imagine what they have inside.



Choosing what to have :)


The banquet.


 Customers munching and enjoying their lunch.


The interior.


My portion, before I added some more :)




I failed to see this at first. An added bonus :)

So what's my take for a lunch here? If I have to rate this 1-10, ten being the highest, I will give this a 6. The place is okay, but the food is not so much. 
Still, for a different experience, you may give this place a try. After all, this is an EAT ALL YOU CAN place. Good for those who wanted to have a full meal without worrying of emptying his/her pocket :)

Hiking In This Very City :)


Many times, I've heard about Banat-i hill, but I always dismiss is as nothing since I'm not fond of mountains. There are times when I think that this place is from other province, or I have it interchanged with Balite (a tree). Lol.

When you are not interested with something, it can easily be dismissed as non-existent.
But, what I have missed in life! Someone point it out to me - the beauty of hiking. 

I realized that maybe it is something that I should check on.

Yesterday was the Saturday that was not raining so it was finally made the day to do the hiking and what fun was that. This hill is just so near where I live, so why not indeed?

I live in Baclayon town and in Bool Terminal which is close to my apartment is where the start of the hike. With my niece, my dog Oggi and five friends who are mostly colleagues, off we went :)



 A few minutes ascending.

 From here, it feels good to breath the fresh air.



Trusting the path to lead us to the peak.



The bonus above is what makes the climb worth our time. This place is already overlooking the Tagbilaran Bay and even Pamilacan Island of Baclayon town. 

Go Hiking At Trinidad, Bohol!

  Bohol is an island province, yes.  It can be famous for Chocolate Hills and beaches, but very seldom are its hills and mountains being exp...
