It kinda seemed like I was living Elizabeth Gilbert's journey in Eat Pray Love when I went on vacation in Boracay last week. Except that mine was all eat and I could only afford to spend a few days in just one location.

| Real Coffee |
I have been going back and forth to Boracay for some quite time now but last week, was my first time to try eating at Real Coffee. I learned about this place from the movie
When Love Begins. And being the fan girl that I am, I had to check it out. We got there about lunchtime having no idea that the place serves breakfast all day. So then we decided to go American. Sugar overload!

| Banana Peanut Butter with Honey Toast |
 |
| Marc's Melt (named after Marc Nelson!) |

And here's a little something that I took as a keepsake from Real Coffee:

It's a must that everytime I go to Boracay that I treat myself to Jonah's. I don't mind walking the long stretch to Station 1 for a drink. Banana choco peanut is a personal favorite!

For our last night on the island, I decided that we go Italian.
Attraversiamo!
 |
| Cucina Italia Mediterranean |
 |
Aglio, Olio, E Peperoncino
(classic but simple pasta cooked with garlic, olive and chili, P345)
|
 |
Pomodoro E Basilico
(San Marzano peeled tomatoes and basil with parmesan cheese, P345)
|
 |
Margherita
(Tomato, basil and mozzarella, P390)

I'm not really fond of red sauce pasta. But since I'm a huge fan both the movie and the book (Eat, Pray, Love), I decided to give it a try. I would bet my life though that Liz Gilbert's spaghetti in Italy is 100x better than what I had in Aria.
“I found that all I really wanted was to eat beautiful food and to speak as much beautiful Italian as possible.”
