Easter at Cuyab
Woke up really early. By 4AM, Manong, the driver, and I were already on our way to The Aristocrat Restaurant to buy the food we would be bringing for our outing. On the way, we already passed by several procession for the "Salubong".
The Aristocrat was started in 1936. It is known for its chicken honey and chicken barbecue. Since it took sometime for us to get our "take home", was able to witness the start of the "Salubong" at Malate Church in Ermita, Manila. The church is a stone's throw away from the restaurant.
Then, went back home to pick up the rest. Stopped by at McDonald's along the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) for our breakfast and proceeded on our way to Cuyab Hot Spring Resort at Calamba, Laguna.
Upon arriving, picked a cottage and left them and our things so we can go to Los Banos, Laguna to buy buko pie from The Original Buko Pie Bakeshop. What's so special about The Original's buko pie? Their pie has a lot of buko in them and the crust is thin. The next best buko pie, for me, is Lety's.
Then, went back to Cuyab to enjoy the day. There were only a few people there (Cuyab II) which makes it more enjoyable for us. Cuyab started with one hot spring pool (Cuyab I). Then, it developed another pool + a children's pool which they called Cuyab II. And again, developed two pools + a children's pool which they called Cuyab III. You only have to pay one entrance fee and you can choose among Cuyab I (hot), Cuyab II (warm) and Cuyab III (cold), or try all three.
After lunch, took a few more dip and left the place. This is to avoid the traffic as a lot of people would be going back home after a very long weekend.
