It's a given: I love going to the Visayas for its beaches, the North for its mixture of landscapes and Bicol...I would always come back for its food. They happen to have my favorite cuisine in the Philippines :) Way back in 2012, I wrote about 'What we ate in Bicol'...it was kinda bitin because that was just Legaspi City. So here's the second installment, and this time I try to scour the food scene in Naga. It was truly alive with lots of value for money, excellent restaurants.

The Clara Ole Potluck foodfest was my 'biggest' event last week. I say biggest because am the first Manila blogger to host it...whoa! It was quite unnerving to send invites to my friends, shop for ingredients and cook some of the dishes, all at the same time!
