Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
By : Aly Abaquin


Hardly no words to described your emotions?  But  when your happy the biggest word that you might heard off is...remember the song of Julie Andrew's Mary Poppins: Supercalifagilisticexpialidocious. 


Well every summer....
Its.....
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is
Something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll
Always sound precocious


Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle,
Um diddle ay! 



Now that we got you singing. 
Here's that supercalifragilisticexpialidocious summer!


Every summer we head off to the beach and swim like Supercalifragilisticexpialidociously  crazy, and we went to Canyon Cove.



Lets recall the fun on our way to a grillery, a dalampasigan & a cove.....

Every journey starts off with BRUNCH and where to have it if your heading to Nasugbu Batangas?And passing over Tagaytay? Eat at Antonios' grill. An upscale dining if you must but for this foodie cheap eater i was with the  bosses of the company so i was treated to much of my delight to Great food. 

If the cheap eater inside me is deciding where to dig brunch, it may be in your friendly Talipapa carinderia ( side resto ) adventures with the view of tagaytay , they might say no. 

But of course they may not like to venture out and dig my ways and beside  we have money to burn so to speak so we headed off the white enclaved and very famous Antonio's grill where the rich and famous converge.


As the song familiarly and  continuously sounding in my ear.....


"But then one day I learned a word
That saved me achin' nose
The biggest word you ever heard
And this is how it goes: Oh!"


Its    ....Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Even though the sound of it is
Something quite atrocious
If you say it loud enough you'll
Always sound precocious


Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Um diddle diddle diddle,
Um diddle ay! (etc.)

First stop  Antonio's Grill:


I rubbed elbows with the Krispy Pata, Kare kare, Chicken inasal, Enchalatad salad, Bulalo, and batchoy. The  Festive/ sumptuous  deep fried pork knuckles & limb with out the toes please was colories-tically good. The group enthusiastically waited for these Filipino cuisine to arrive at our tables  which was prepared  by Chef Tonyboy Escalante.  
The turon a deep fried delicacies of sapin sapin, langka, or banana with melted caramelized sugar toppings  for desserts was truly enjoyable and a good end for a good meal.


Antonio's grill is best known for their BULALO, sorry folks the foodie in me forgot to take pictures as i was in day-off mode.  



Tasted the fresh breezy air of Tagaytay and look at the scenery that is Taal volcano, yup the open crated small island is a volcano who according to volcanologists are still active and is about to steam out!?! For heavens sake do not rain on our parade since our group of 23 people are going on a trip to Nasugbu..... BEACH. 


Second stop was a dalampasigan (seashore). "Kainan sa Dalampasigan"  or simply put  Eatery at the seashore.The place is magically surroundedwith flora & fauna. Middle earth everyone.
With the owner Mrs. Baby Limjoco


Okey Not Froddo's enclave but the Chapel 


                                  See i told you its a chapel. 


They are known for Cheap eats: Meals starts at P 100 and the Bilao( food basket)  at P450 pesos good for two.  Must try their Halo Halo & Lechen Flan. 


You know what. The song was gleefully  there and here goes.....


"You can say it backwards
Dociousaliexpisticfracticalirupus,
But that's going to be too far. Don't you think?
Indubitably!

So when the cat has got your tongue
There's no need for dismay
Just summon up this word and then
You've got a lot to say....

Their  Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
