And often it is not hot, been cooked some hours earlier.

Rum and soda have not tried it, dont think it will go like whiskey. Soft drinks are really cheap so maybe worth a go.

man you guys have to try mixing your rum with coconut water. Its how its done in the Caribbean. I can't believe with all the coconuts laying around rum in the PI is mixed with coke and sprite...lol

Ozzie Guillen mixes it with scotch where as Jimmy Buffet sticks with the rum...

Hi,

Post's 6 & 9, believe me the noble persons mentioned within have a very serious rival here in the cheapskate stakes - and I been doing it a hell of a lot longer. Underestimate this tightwad legend at your peril.

Rum and any soft drink is more palatable with a few calamansi squeezed in, cuts the sweetness a bit.

I hadn't noticed, but then I wouldn't. Buko is good stuff... sort of nature's canteen, always clean, always potable even when none of the water around is. Excellent natural rehydration drink and tastes better than the powdered stuff. I'm not sure it's magical medicinal health craze stuff, but it's good to have around when running about the islands!

www.moalboalguide.com and the new lonelyplanet 2012
both have Coras palm court phone 474 3220 as the best budget place
at php400 a night has to be the most low cost place in Moalboal.

Last time we were in Moalboal (last October) Coras wanted 700 pesos for a fan room.

budget eatery on the south side of the strip,caters to local workers, batchoy noodles 25, rice 10, other meals are around 30.

I haven't bothered buying any meals from anywhere though, as I'm in a self-catering fan place with kitchen, an apartment with a good quality tv with plenty of channels, very spacious that is 650 on the week, or 700 per day. I reckon that is good value, for a place that is one minute's walk to a beach with coral only 30 meters out.
