July 5, 2009 - The Kawayan Farm in Pililla, Rizal is home to various species of bamboo seedlings from white, yellow, black, Chinese, Buddaha, giant and up to the expensive bamboos used by famous landscapers in their masterpieces. Behind Nikki are some of the these bamboos currently housed by the farm.
Most of the structures in the farm were made of bamboo. From the picnic tables and nipa huts and up to the dinning halls.
A hilly landscape, a refreshing sight of the untouched forest and an overlooking view of Laguna de Bay was indeed very relaxing.
The best part of the trip was the food. A must try in their menu was the Bicol Express made of labong, bulalo and the sinigang na hipon. We also ordered native tinolang manok with coconut meat. Their staff were very friendly and service was at its best. As a bonus, the meal was reasonably priced. We will surely come back to this place to dine and relax.
They also offered massage service and a children's playground where the kids enjoyed playing with the monkey bars, swing and slide.
It took us two hours to reach the place via the backdoor of the east. It was a smooth drive thru the long and winding roads of the Manila East Road via Marcos Highway. Below are pictures of the convoy and the crew.
'Till the next road trip...
