Photodumping! I know I should leave things for others to find out for themselves, but hey, it was hard to pick the nicest ones! Lol. Ugu Bigyan's Pottery Garden is lined with a number of nipa huts where you can just rest and chill for the day. This is perfect when you're not in a rush to get anywhere. It's a surprise that such a place is hidden in Quezon.
Well it was a feast for the Senses. On the previous post, it was about the sense of sight & touch. Of feeling the pots in your hands, of seeing the marvel of the hands can create,,
And now more of just seeing...
What I especially love about the place is the attention to details. Small things like fishes in the pathway, Or bird sculptures scattered around the huts. I get surprised a couple of times that I didn't notice certain pieces before!
The whole ambiance is relaxing. The bed is inviting me in. It was also a blessing for us that it rained a little because you could really feel the summer this time of the year.
And then there was food! I've never tasted food like this before. (I don't know how to describe it) Ugu has put his personal touch in the food he prepared for us. It was also nice that we ate from handmade dinnerware. Before the food was prepared, I was feeling the plates and tumblers in my hand, trying to figure out what life it must have had: from a lump of clay to a staple in this dining area!
Ok let the pictures do the talking.
Soup with malunggay
The best ribs I've ever tasted! Smokey goodness
Paco Salad
And first ever taste of Kulawo! Tastes excellent! This is banana heart with a smoky flavor to it. Quite deceiving too :)
Some tahong
Shrimp
Sweet and Sour Fish with Salad
Calamares
Some dessert and a satisfied tummy! And this is why life is awesome. Thank You for good food! I took home the leftovers and had my relatives taste it and they said it was the best tasting banana heart they have eaten :) Great experience this was. Thanks to Mia and Ugu Bigyan!
