FOOD AND DRINKS

Jonas Milkshake --- I hope this doesn't have as much calories as the face-bloating strawberry drink in Starbucks.

Real Coffee's Lemon Cupcake --- I've always found lemon cupcakes boring. I wonder what made this a must-eat?

Cafe del Sol's Cheesecake @ d'Mall --- CHEESECAKES!!! Now, you know where you'll find me.

Zuzuni's Chocolate Sin --- Maybe. Maybe Not for me.

Summer Place Bucket of Long Island Ice Tea --- Will this get me drunk? =)

Illusion Shaker of Cocomangas --- David Copperfield?

Chori Burger and Street Food --- Can i have 2 To Go, please?

Sex Shooters of Summer Place --- I know who's going to take a shot at this!

Still Standing after 15. You will be given 15 alcoholic shots which you need to finish the entire night. If you are still standing after 15 shots, you'll get a shirt and they will put your name on the walls. --- Let's leave this to the professionals.

Gastoff Ribs @ d'Mall --- Maybe. Maybe Not.


GIMMICK PLACES


Bom Bom's (for some dreadlocks music)

Summer Place (for alcoholic challenges, I suppose)

Plazoleta (for strutting your stuff)

Hey Jude (for chilling out)

Beachcomber

Club Paraw

Guilly's Island


Our Awesome Planet also recommends the following restaurants:

Puka beach food is perfect during lunch time after a boating trip.

Wahine Beach Bar is a good place to hangout for thin crust pizzas.

Yellow Cab invasion for some Portuguese food. --- this is a must.

Jammers is the place to hang out in the early morning. Good thing they are open 24 hours. --- Some of us may need to visit this place!

Hawaiian Bar-B-Que --- =\

Halowich d'Mall's halo-halo sandwich --- Another Must!

Portable crepes @ Crazy Crepes or Rock n Roll Crepes --- From Salcedo Park to Bora! They're everywhere. I think I'm going to have to pass on this one.

Bacolod Chicken, Chicken Inasal and Andok's have invaded Boracay and they are a favorite choice among budget travellers. --- Favorite choice of who? Dang! There goes our list! =P
