It's been raining lately so you deserve a high-quality cup of coffee ☕

Did you know? The Yield Specialty Coffee only uses beans graded 80 and up? Yes! Kaya it's called "specialty coffee". Not only that, they specialize in latte art kasi diyan sa tabi nila mismo nagti-train ang mga newbie baristas around Iloilo.
You can even order pour over coffee wherein you can choose and buy your own coffee beans there na yung iba imported pa! They'll grind it and prepare the pour over for you.

Another must have is their carrot cake and my personal favorite, their matcha cheesecake 🍵

They are located at 📍Lopez-Jaena St., Democracia, Jaro Iloilo City (lapit sa Biscocho house)
🕘 Open daily: 7:00 AM- 8:00 PM

Visit them for some specialty coffee ☕

Had a homey date at JD’s Bakeshop with our latte, cappuccino, palabok, and Korean chicken. 🥰

Surprisingly, super sarap sang Korean chicken nila! 🍗 Try nyo gid! And ang palabok? One bite and I’m back to being a kid kay amo ni permi ginabakal sa amon ni Mama. 🥹❤️

Plus, their hot coffee is less than ₱100! ☕️✨ Perfect for a simple and affordable date.

A chill afternoon date at Carlos Bakeshop. Natnat really loved the orange chicken nang Carlo's, and the serving is generous; he had to order extra rice. We also loved the fresh lumpia, especially because siksik sya and there's extra sauce na sobrang sarap. The ambiance is great and napaka chill vibe lang, perfect for our peaceful afternoon.

🏊‍♀️ ₱100 entrance + ₱100 swimming?! 👀💦
Found a cute and affordable escape in Oton! 🇲🇦✨ Lasette Resort Hotel has this beautiful Moroccan-inspired vibe that makes you feel like you’re somewhere far away without hurting your budget.
What I love most? The pool isn’t too hot because there are trees, umbrellas, and shaded areas around. 🌴☂️ You can also stay by the poolside tables even if you’re just a walk-in guest. Plus, they give complimentary water!
May ara man sila pool bar where you can buy drinks, iced coffee, and food. ☕🍹
Perfect for a relaxing one-day escape nga affordable kag swak sa budget! 💛

🥑 If you're an avocado lover, this one's for you! 🤤💚

I finally gave in to my craving and tried Avocadoria's Avocado Lover—loaded with real avocado, homemade cream, chia seeds, flax seeds, almonds, crushed cookies, and pearls. Sulit gid because of the generous toppings! 😍

If you prefer something simpler, they also have the Naked Avocado Ice Cream. Plus, you can choose from other flavors like Avocado Pistachio Knafeh Lover and Avocado Biscoff Lover. And how cute are their Avo Buddies? 🥹💚

📍Available at Robinsons Main Iloilo (in front of Prince Baker, near the entrance), SM City Iloilo, and Festive Walk Iloilo.

Craving something creamy and refreshing? Mag-Avocadoria ka na! 🥑✨

🐷 Who says you need to travel far for a good lechon fix? 👀
Nag-eBike lang kami from Lapuz to ILOCHON Jaro, so tipid na sa pamasahe, busog pa! 🤭
We tried their Lechon Sisig Rice Bowl, Sisig Rice, and Medium Cut Lechon and sulit gid ang serving. The lechon was tender, while the sisig had that smoky, aromatic flavor that made every bite satisfying. 😋

If you love interactive museums, this is a fun place to visit! There are 4 different stations to explore, each filled with hands-on activities and fascinating science exhibits.

One of my favorites? The Albert Einstein wax figure kasi it looks so real! 🤣 I also had fun at the Astronomy Station, especially seeing the giant astronaut. 🚀

Perfect for families, kids, and even adults who are curious about science. Plus, the museum guides are super friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better.

🎟️ Entrance Fee: ₱450

Definitely a fun and educational experience worth checking out! 🧬✨
