BICOL │Bigg's Diner de Naga

Bigg's Diner de Naga.

At the heart of Naga, you'll find the oldest and one of the largest food chain in Bicol, the Bigg's Diner. Since 1983, it has been famous for it's cooked to order meals. It's not hard to find their restaurant, it's at Panganiban drive near St. Francis church and Naga Plaza.

Restaurant's 70's inspired interior.

Another nice wall design.

Look at those vintage stuffs and how they arranged and posted it on their brick wall, cool!

Same with their wall hangs.

Paper mats.

Bigg's counter.

Breaded pork with laing in sizzling plate.

We ordered Pork chop with laing and we were so hungry then, but they took so long before they serve it, 30-45 mins. The food is good, but when we ordered again, this time it's just an extra rice and halo-halo. It took again the same minutes before we tasted the extras.

Special halo-halo.

Halo-halo, perfect for Naga's hot weather..

Over-all I enjoyed Bigg's diner, maybe next time I'll try their pizzas. :)

CARAMOAN │ Sabang Port

Ferry boat from Guijalo port Caramoan docked already at Sabang port, 10:00AM.

We left New Crown Hotel Naga around 6AM and came 9 AM at Sabang Port where we took outrigger boats which ferry passengers to the Guijalo, Caramoan Port. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to the first trip which was 6AM and just waited for the next one, 10Am.

Hotel Roa owner in Caramoan, Dr. Ramon Roa who accompanied us said that locals (wearing black shirt in the above photo) used to carry passengers and luggages on their backs to keep them dry to and from the boat. But because of gender difference among lifters and passengers, especially among females, they made this floating wooden bridge to help them cross safely.

Schedule varies depends how long a boat takes to fill up passengers and luggages, but usually hourly boat departure starts at 5 AM with travel time of 2-3 hours.
