We were on our way to Club Balai Isabel at Talisay, Batangas, but traffic at south luzon expresswat being the way it is turned what was supposed to be a 2 hour drive into a 3 hour marathon of sorts. So instead of going straight to our destination we stopped by Paseo Sta. Rosa for a much needed pitstop. The time being close to lunch hour, we decided to have lunch at KANIN CLUB.. But before that we explored the environs of the place. above is a picture of my three girls posing by the SPEEDO outlet shop there.
by some stroke of luck, we got to kanin club just after they opened, I think we were the third batch of customers, because by 11:30, the place was already beggining to get packed. The place must be doing something well in order to get that many customers. We ordered the house specialty, Crispy Dinuguan. This is a take on the classice filipino dish but with a speacial twist, instead of regular pork, they used crunchy lechon kawali as the main ingredient. The texture of the meal changed dramatically although i found the dish to be a a little on the bland side. next time i'll ask for some fish sauce to go with it.
Another of our order was the crispy liempo strips. this makes for a wonderful appetizer or better yet pica pica food. there are 3 different dip choices to cater to one's tastes

The hands down favorite was the crab omellete. although i would have preferred it to be a little bit more over easy, it had the perfect sweet and salty combination that makes it perfect partner for a steaming bowl of rice!
Now who says that manila has a monopoly of fine dining to offer.And at around P 850 (hey its not fastfood!)for 3 viands, 3 iced tea (big serving!) and rice. It's not too heavy on the wallet The Kanin Club @ Paseo ( I think they already have a branch at UP Technohub) by itself makes the drive worthwile.
