FOOD TRIP PART 1
Iβve been to Gubat in Baler, AuroraΒ (see blog post here) with my closest friends last 2019 and we really enjoyed their food and service. Now, craving for Gubat will be easier because apparently, a QC branch is now open for public.
Gubat QC is from the same people behind Kusina Luntian of Baler. It is a hidden restaurant inside the Diliman Bonsai Society with interiors made from upcycled materials that can accommodate 20-30 people. The open-air restaurant is not noticeable at a first glanceΒ βΒ it is surrounded by plants and bonsais, and the door made of bamboo has a small sign to welcome its visitors.Β Gubat also promotes zero waste by going back to basic, as each order is served on banana leaves, eating using your hands without utensils and drinking straight from the glass without using a straw.
When you receive your food, youβll have it served up on banana leaves with no utensils. Thatβs right, kamayan rules here. Their dishes also offer pako salad (complete with tomato and salted egg) as a side to any meal. We ordered Lechong Kawali and Shrimp Gambas and Calamansi Juice for drinks.Β
From grilled pork, we went to grilled seafood! (Yup, our cravings can really be THAT spontaneous. Mana samin? Haha.) Went for our last meal in Dampa in Antipolo, and we had Grilled Hito, Siningang na ulo ng Salmon, Kinilaw na Tuna, and Baked Tahong.Β
Yup, welcome to my Babuyan era.Β
