Happy Wednesday Hivers!
Normally when I travel I can't avoid to have an oily foods in my plate. I know I should avoid it because of some health issues that I've encountered, however; I find it difficult. Most restaurants that I had been to served oily foods. I left no choice but to eat what's available.
Few days ago, I had been craving for an oil-free food. I could not figure out what exact food I wanted to eat so long as it is free from oil. Since I have already list what restaurants must try while in Dumaguete, I'd chosen Hayahay Restaurant. I've read that this restaurant has offered wide varieties of food. Without skepticism, I grabbed my bag and headed to Hayahay Restaurant.
It was twilight the time I arrived, there were only few customers were dining, that made the ambiance so peaceful and relaxing. While I waited for my order, I enjoyed listening to the music they'd played and watching around the restaurant.
Couple exchanging sweet gestures with each other; oldies busy drinking beer; and a group of adults who seemed to have a dinner meeting in the restaurant were the only customers there. Maybe it was just too early. But, I liked it since we were just only few in the restaurant.
I thought it would take long before they would serve my foods since I had included grilled milk fish in my order, but I was completely wrong. In less than 15 minutes, my foods were already served, I was impressed. While the waiter placed my food on the table, I could smell the aroma. The smell alone made me salivate.
I ordered grilled fish milk; banana blossom salad; and a fresh mango juice.
As the waiter turned his back from me after he served my food, I slowly took my spoon and fork and started eating.
I remember the time when I was with my family we used to have grilled milk fish in our dinner especially on Sunday and on special occassions. This is one of my family's favorite food. The fat of the milk fish is most likely everyone's favorite.
The taste of the fish was great. I know my mom is a great cook and she can cook this food well but there is a little difference, this was much yummier.
When I was young, we used to have this food in our meal. I grew up in my mother's hometown which is in the countryside meaning there were lot of banana blossoms. We don't buy it. Our neighbors gave it to us for free.
But in this restaurant I paid Php90.00 or almost $2. When I tasted it, oh boy, it was so yummy. I was absolutely satisfied.
The restaurant has offered a lot of healthy drinks but I had chosen mango juice. I could really taste the fresh mango fruit.
These are the foods and beverage I always wanted to incorporate in my daily meal however, when you're travelling you can't easily find a restaurant like this and it is a bit pricey.
I didn't leave the restaurant after eating, I stayed for few minutes and enjoyed the night thru staring the moon. My scenery that night was truly beautiful. The moon gazing made my night an extra ordinary one. That was my great experience in Hayahay Restaurant.
