Txacho

Means “dude” in Spanish is the new restaurant and bar at Art District II, in Brgy. Mandalagan, Bacolod City.

Boyfriend and I decided to check it out one time after dinner and we fell in love with the relaxing ambiance (it was a weekday), the strings of a Spanish guitar playing in the background and friendly waitstaff. We ordered our drinks, a double black J.W. for him and a house drink called Morasco (Bailey’s based drink) for me and Homemade Jamon Serrano. 

Personally, I found the Morasco a bit watery for my taste but their Jamon Serrano hit the right spot. Very flavorful with just the right amount of salt, I’m definitely coming back for more! We wanted to try their artichoke cheese dip but they ran out, so hopefully next time we’ll have better luck.

Bacolod Baywalk

They opened phase 1 of the development and are currently holding events in the area such as dance classes and competitions. For a P20.00 entrance fee, you can enjoy the sea breeze, watch the sunset, walk up and down along the boulevard and eat and drink at the different food kiosks found in the open area.

Take a look at the pictures as to what’s coming soon!

We had been hearing about this retreat place for quite a while and finally decided to go check it out. We decided to use the route from Alangangilan on the way there and almost got lost because we couldn’t find the sign leading to the farm.

The road isn’t exactly conducive for cars as it was bumpy and very steep, and it was kind of creepy, if you know what I mean. But nevertheless, it was all worth it. 

Guerrero Farm is a haven for nature lovers! Different plants abound, from pine trees to fruit trees, flowers, water plants, bonsais, herbs—you name it! They had small themed gardens such as one full of pine trees, one full of bonsais and the like. They also had a nursery for plant lovers who were interested in buying from them.

We brought our own lunch, except for the Chicken Tinola which we had them cook for us and it was really good too, a perfect compliment to the cool damp weather.

We weren’t able to go horse-back riding, which was kind of a bummer. And I had not noticed the sign near the entrance until late afternoon that they offered hiking trips to a nearby river.

They also have available cottages for overnight visits, so don’t forget to check out the sign/tariff, pictured above! For more information, visit their Facebook page.
