Dinner at Alona Beach

Nice Little Restaurant in Alona Beach

Nice Little Restaurant in Alona Beach

After the sun went down, it was time for me to look for some dinner. There is a row of restaurants along the beachfront so that was the first place to look. However, it seems that the restaurants all cater to the visitors with pockets deeper than mine, after all, Alona Beach sees a lot of foreigners. It is quite obvious though that Alona Beach is nowhere near the cosmopolitan feel of Boracay. The restaurants here are pretty tame when compared to Boracay.

I finally ended up at a nice little dive shop which has a nice dining area in the second floor. Unfortunately, I can’t really remember the name of this place – if someone recognizes the photos please let me know the name of the place. The restaurant is huge and of course, open air. I picked a spot which overlooks the beach below. There isn’t really much to see in the beach by now since it is already quite dark. I ordered my food and relaxed.

The beef tenderloin was so-so. The meat itself was quite rubbery and not that tasty anyway. I didn’t really expect much from this place anyway. However, the iced tea they served was surprisingly good. It didn’t have the overwhelming sweetness that Philippine drinks can have. It was genuinely refreshing and I savored every drop of it. I guess, it has been a while since I have tasted this kind of iced tea that maybe these may seem quite ordinary. But I guess this is a little something that I can recommend to visitors here.
