La Carinderia

My dining experience here can be a hyperbole of 'love at second sight'. When I first passed by the place, I thought it's closed. But I was really craving for pasta, so I went back and simply asked if they were open. The owners and staff were very accommodating. Good news: they were open. Not-so-good news: pasta at the moment is not available. So I tried their special dish of the day (Chicken Cacciatora) and was surprised that I liked it. I also ordered Iced Latte (even I only drink coffee for a few select times) and I can say the blend was also one for the books. But still into satisfying my first craving, I came back for dinner and tried the Penne Pasta Arrabbiata. The description says it's spicy and I have a penchant on spicy food. Bon appetit -- my dining experience (a lot like love) turned into 'food is sweeter the second time around.' If you're looking for sumptuous meals which you can't find in urban cities, surprise yourself and experience a different island life dining at La Carinderia. You will not worry missing your Italian/Filipino comfort food when in Siargao. P.S. I will surely give their best-seller Parmigiana Eggplant a try when I come back.
