Great ingredients make great food : Dumaguete's "Lab-as" Restaurant

"Lab-as" is a Visayan term for fresh, used in terms of fish and other seafood, so it comes as no surprise that the menu here is mostly seafood.

Lab-as is located at one of the most popular location in Dumaguete; The Rizal Boulevard. With its wooden interior,  live music played by a pianist and delicious food, you're surely in for a treat!

Dumaguete Express

 Kinilaw

 Grilled Squid

Pinakbet

I really love their Pinakbet and Dumaguete Express. Dumaguete Express consists of fresh seafood (lapu-lapu, mussels, shrimps and squid) cooked in a spicy coconut sauce. It was the hands-down favorite that night. I'm not really a fan of Kinilaw so it would be unfair if i have to judge it based on its taste, However, its presentation was the bomb!

Lab-as Shanghai Rice

Sizzling Tuna Belly

What I love the most about Lab-as is their special Shanghai Rice. I must say, "KANIN PA LANG ULAM NA".

Lab-as Restaurant really showed us what Filipino Hospitality is. Once you've entered the place, you'll feel welcomed and it's like ordering food inside your own home. The Food does not disappoint but you really have to be patient as the food takes a while to be served. 

Overall rating would be A+. Good Food, Excellent Service, Live music. What else can i ask for?

Sugar Rush: Dumaguete Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries

You've never been to Dumaguete if you haven't tried the heavenly desserts from Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries. 

Located in the heart of Dumaguete City. Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries is slowly making its way as the country's best maker of Sans Rival and Silvanas. Aside from their famous delicacy, they also serve food like cupcakes, bread, pasta etc. It’s great place to chill and hang out with friends.

 Blue Berry Cheese Cake

 Salted Caramel Cheesecake

Lemon Cheesecake

Silvanas is a crunchy, creamy, frozen cookie made up of a layer of buttercream sandwiched between two cashew-meringue wafers, and coated with cookie crumbs. Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries' Silvanas are known for their two different flavors; Original (Regular Buttercream) and Chocolate.

Sans Rival's Famous Buttercream Silvanas

When taking it back home from a Dumaguete trip, I suggest to make these your last stop before you head to the airport. These treats can last about 5 hours before needing refrigeration. But once you get back home, it's best to chill it for a while, then take them out to enjoy.

 Iced Mocha

Iced Caramel Coffee

Of course when you are already in Dumaguete City,get a chance to take at least a bite of their Sans Rival while having a sip of their cool cup of iced coffee or your favorite drink.
