Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day, the little siblings want to play. It was to be expected, July after all, is the rainy season. Pero mapilit itong si Kap eh, lusob parin GOppets kaya ayan, inulan kami the 3 days we were in Elyu. Wala na ngang alon, panay pa ang ulan. Epic fail, lol.

But at least we got to have a fun 3-day food trip, which is actually my type of trip haha. The tables turned and directed it to my favor. ;P

Despite myself, I enjoyed the many cuisines offered at Elyu. Yes, it may be best known for its surf scene, but you also need to try all the awesome (and cheap) food!

I’ll try to incorporate the last 2 days here, so we can finally move on to other topics. I noticed you guys are not too keen on my travel diaries, teehee. Mamadaliin ko na. 😉

Day 2 Lunch: Seawadeeka

—

Seawadeeka is a teeny tiny eatery that seats 10 max & serves asian street food. if anything can make Kap happy, it’s definitely cheap eats. And sobrang pasok ito sa criteria ni Kap. Masarap sya actually -the pad thai (170/order) was really flavorful at madaming sahog, which was a pleasant surprise considering the price.

Seawadeeka operates out of the tiniest food truck, er trike. I guess it goes around at times, but its roots is planted here in this small square lot along the highway which is where we had our lunch on Day 2.

After a short nap, and another romp at the beach, it was time to shower & hit the Elyu food scene once again for dinner.

Day 2 Dinner : Mad Monkeys

We like our burgers big & thick and Mad Monkeys did not disappoint. Another pleasant surprise since we were expecting small flat, tasteless burgers, seeing the place looked like a dilapidated barong-barong. It just proves once again that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. 😉

I always like to end my day with a nightcap. Some people can’t sleep if they drink coffee, me? I can take the caffeinated drink & fall asleep after 10 minutes.

The kids were planning to take me to the famous El Union Coffee house but as it was raining pretty hard & we had no umbrellas, we just ran across the street to The Coffee Library. Parang okay din naman & served pretty much the same drinks & dessert as the other one. So who copied who, lolz.

Day 2 Coffee & Dessert : The Coffee Library

—

The Coffee Library, one of the bigger joints (2 storeys) I’ve seen around Elyu, claims to offer authentic Vietnamese coffee -which of course I tried. I can’t support the claim though as I haven’t been to Vietnam hehe. Pag nakapunta na ako, at pag maalala ko pa ang lasa nito, sabihan ko kayo. 😉

The next day after a quick & final dip at the beach and prior to leaving for Baguio, we had lunch at River Farm Seafood Restaurant.

Day 3 Lunch : River Farm Seafood Restaurant

—

When away on a trip, we really make it a point to eat at unique places. River Farm Seafood Restaurant offers a floating cabaña & you can dine right on top of the water. The balsa in anchored so you don’t get to float along & sing “just around the river bend..” like Pocahontas, but still, something different.

Other than that, food is nothing special. Also, it takes a while for the food to be served, mukhang hinuhuli pa yata nila ang fish-da atbp kaya naaaaapaka-tagal ihain. 😛

And this, my friends, concludes our 3-day Elyu trip. Do bear with me for another travel series as I post about our Baguio adventure. My blog serves as my diary -something for me to look back on & reminisce time with the fam. Kaya kahit tamad na tamad na akong sumulat, at tamad na tamad na rin kayong magbasa, no can do haha.

Para sa ekonomiya! ;P

PS: CLICK HERE to read about other places you can dine in when in La Union. Too bad we didn’t get to go to these diners anymore. Next time nalang pag kinati uli si Kap my Kap.
