True Food in Boracay

When we came to Boracay October last year, I noticed True Food Indian Restaurant located along the beach and I wanted to try but since I am always with the family who don’t prefer spicy, I missed eating there.

Then when I came back in January, still I didn’t get the chance to eat there, until Feb when I went back to the Island. Julie, Luzette and I decided to eat in True food.  I forgot to take note of what we ordered but I liked all of it. I have really been eating a lot in Boracay that my jeans seem to not fit me anymore, I should go run on treadmills at the gym lol..

Breakfast by the beach in Boracay

It has been a great 10 days in Boracay, friends and I went to Paraiso grill a lot of breakfasts. We liked it because they have this “choose your own breakfast” kind of thing, where you select what you want in your plate. Like egg will be cooked the way you want, you can have  sausages, baked beans, tapa, tocino, bacon, tomatoes, potato slices, bread, oatmeal, toast… it was nice to have that flexibility of having only those you want. Not really a buffet but it was very good.

Also, I liked their smoothies, mango was a big hit for me and I guess to most of the tourists there too.

  With all the munching, I think I will need diet pills lol…

Koreans in Boracay

The biggest number of tourists coming to Boracay are the Koreans, it is so well promoted there and they especially come during their winter months. I met some who come to play golf at Fairways and Bluewater’s with their Mizuno golf gears, some come to spend their honey moon or simply chill in a white beach.

In fact, a lot of Koreans have made Boracay their home for the last few years and they decided to do business in the Island catering to their people. On of those is Max Lee (seated - the only guy) who has been living in the Island for at least three years, upon seeing the beauty of Boracay he immediately fell in love with it to the point of him bringing his own lightweight aircraft, set up a horse riding club, enjoy Kite Boarding, paragliding and a lot of other water sports  to his hearts content. Right now he is launching a weekly newspaper The Boracay Times.

Another Korean I met is Mrs. Kim (standing in the photo) who owns the Korean Restaurant Tong Yang, located at Regency Resort Boracay. My friends Julie, Luzette and I enjoyed a wonderful time with her over a set of the usual variety of Kimchi, Tenderloin, Bibimbap and a Soju – rice wine.

From them, I learned how to do a toast in Korean, we say “combe!” meaning “cheers!”

Also, in shaking hands or receiving  a drink, one must use both hands when doing it with someone older to show respect. Extending the arm with just one hand is acceptable only if of the same age.
