Lagaw Lagaw ta sa Bacolod 2013

Instead of  going straight to Siquijor, we had a quick detour to Bacolod and its neighboring cities namely, Silay, Talisay and Murcia, home of Mambukal Hot Spring Resort. Each city has its own charm to boast hence one reason why this entry is entitled "Lagaw Lagaw" which is an Ilonggo term for wander or stroll.

You definitely need at least 2 or 3 days to enjoy these places in Bacolod. I had an impression that I can cover my Bacolod itinerary for a day but I was wrong :(. Originally, we planned to tour Bacolod City after our visit at The Ruins but we ended really exhausted and headed to Manokan Country at 3pm. 


Ever famous Bacolod's Chicken Inasal
We even didn't have time to stroll in SM City Bacolod which is right beside the latter nor the attractions within Bacolod City because we need to catch up for our bus ride going to Mambukal Hot Spring Resort. The resort closes at 6pm and it will take at least an hour to reach it from Bacolod hence we only  have less than 3 hours to roam the resort. Unknowingly, Mambukal Hot Spring Resort covers large span of land. Best would be an overnight stay to enjoy all its facilities and spots.



Here's its website for further details: Mambukal Resort

Last trip to Bacolod is at 6pm. I didn't even have the chance to visit its Hot Spring or try out its boating lagoon :( Busses bound for Bacolod is just right outside the Resort.

It was a rainy night when we arrived in Bacolod City, perfect weather for a hot Merci piaya and yummy Calea cakes along Lacson Street :)




At the strike of midnight, September 29 which marks my 28th Birthday, I blew my custom-made Peppero White Cheesecake :) This wrapped up our day in Bacolod.
