CDO Diaries: JRJ Deep Fried Chicken

If there is one KFC "Kanto Fried Chicken" that I would put in my list aside from the dirty chicken before Shopwise, JRJ Deep Fried Chicken is the place to be! :D You can't complete your stay in CDO if you haven't tried the JRJ chicken. This was our last meal because we were all pretty low on our budget. Of course we are not that choosy and not those type that would go on a very expensive restaurant or so. The chicken costs  less than 30 pesos and are really huge! The chicken gizzards and liver costs about 15 pesos only.


Create your dip! Ketchup, soy sauce, chili, calamansi


Chicken


More chicken!

Gizzards and Liver.


of course it aint complete without lots of rice and eating with your hands.

Just delightful and unforgettable :)
I'm a chicken killer! (just kidding)

CDO Diaries: Rafting

Hey you guys! I attempted to update my blog few weeks back and yes it has been more than a month now since our yearly vacation in Mindanao. I wanted to blog during weekends but I am using a dongle and the connection just sucks. I can't upload any pictures and it just messes my whole moment of blogging. Now, I have a bit of time left before I head home.

So yes, going back to CDO, everything was just random. I checked out the site of 1st rafting adventure and saw that there was a promo in their site 5+1. I called them up and tried booking for advance course the next day. However, there are no slots and had to go on a weekends for that. The rate in their website is totally different from their rate over the phone. The website says around 1,400 php while over the phone it's only 1,000 php and it includes pickup-rafting-lunch-drop off.


Yes, thats a loonng way to go!


If you are wondering our 6th, he was in another raft!

We felt like warriors lolz!

The rafting was a bit quick compared to what is expected. Since it looks like it was raining in the mountains or so, the waters are really fast flowing and we rafted for about 3 hours I think.We also accidentally fell because no one went on the high side on the very calm no rapids part. I lost my slippers but found it about few hundred meters away. :) Such an experience!

After the raft, we were dropped off in a partnered restaurant for our lunch. I really didnt enjoy much but hey its part of the package! (I forgot the resto name by the way.)

Sweet and sour fish



Not included in the lunch package but we got some blueberry cheesecake

Oh yumm


And some chocolate cake.

:) We were dropped off back in our hotels and that afternoon it rained really hard.
We had to prepare because it's our flight back to Manila the next day.
We were dead tired and slept once we got back.
