The purpose was to check the best restaurants that would complete a proper dine-out gastronomic food escapade.
Food crawl becomes a term and best part, experiencing it in a province like Pangasinan.
Doing the food exploration thru a roadtrip that is coming from the southern part from Laguna travelling to northern part like Pangasinan is such a bliss of interest and excitement as we considered ourselves a Food Traveler at least for two days.
Let’s take you on the first along Dagupan area.
How about Vietnamese Street Food as a starter.
A Phở noodle? Spring rolls? All of these are essential dishes to make sure its an authentic Vietnamese restaurant infused with herbs (mint, cilantro, lemongrass) which made special with Bang Ngaois.

Another taste of authentic Japanese food at the heart of Dagupan is the New Leaf.
Name it – from Sushi, Tempura, Yakitori, Salad, Tea, the sample of pleasured for the variety and sumptuousness traditionally prepared is an experience to enjoy.
What more, we can suit up Japanese-inspired from slippers and umbrella.

Taking a break first w/ Caffe La Tea selections of drinks – Macha, Lemongrass, Affogato, Frappe and so much more to choose which are all refreshing for the summer heat.
Aside from the drinks, pasta, meals like Crispy Binagoongan, Clubhouse Sandwich, Tofu are also available to indulge the appetite.
Best part, the said cafe has an available outlet for nomad working.
What made me come back to taste more was the Chiz Buko – unique, inventive way to eat lumpia.

Having a break for a while, now we are ready for lunch with Matutina Gerry’s Seafood House. Upon entry on the second floor,their flower interior matches my outfit.
Uber-fresh catch seafood and fish on our table were served. The delectable large meaty crab made our meal soo satisfying. The sweet, juicy flesh of the crab sharply visible once tasted.

Following Ciudad Elmina Restaurant is Dagupan’s best kept secret yet serene place to visit.
Refreshing big extracted watermelon juice to quench our thirst is served on a warm summer day.
An agri-tourism to promote nature where Pangasinan’s Filipino food like bangus, hito, pinakbet are just some of the notable dishes.

For dessert, cake galore w/ Bread House is such a delectable hit to indulge – colorful, playful and artistically done yet moist in taste especially the Tuttifrutti Cake.
Aside from cakes, breads and pastries, the said bakery house also offers meal dishes. Their Kare-Kare, Seafood Soup, Pinakbet and Salted Egg Fried Rice are festive of taste.
Their desserts and halo-halo are also creatively presented to make the indulgence sooo perfect.

Panaderia Antonio Bakery and Restaurant that existed for more than 10 years in Dagupan served not only freshly baked breads but also pizza, burger, pasta and dishes like Kare-Kare. Savory yet satisfying, all the dishes are too die for.

Coffee concoction for an afternoon sesh was also served. The way they presented it is like high-end coffee shop in the metro.
Got also to try their loaf bread at home partnered with Scrambled Egg and coffee, simple yet palatable for the lazy afternoon to be awake.

I thought Ma-sarap Grill located inside the mall was unappetizing serving but its not. Their Liempo, Pancit and Boneless Bangus are too delish that one cannot resist to taste them.

Cocktails and dishes partnered with Mint Kitchen Bar Karaoke made the Friday an awesome night out while saving the best for our last hurrah.
Salted Egg Chicken and Salmon with Mashed Potatoes got a twist yet unique flavorful taste to try.
Their cocktail mix and presentation are an edge also comparable to the metro bar.
