Exploring Jay's Kinabuhayan Cafe and Our Lunch at Kubli Springs

After settling down at Casa San Pablo, we were able to take a nap for a few minutes and then we prepared for our lunch at Jay's Kinabuhayan Cafe. I knew what to expect already for our lunch, but honestly, I was still surprised and amazed by what I saw and experienced. The place was well, I couldn't described it exactly, it was rustic and old in a good way.

I've read that the cafe is located at the foot of Mt. Banahaw but actually, it was in the middle of a town before the foot of Mt. Banahaw. You would be surprised that a place like Jay's actually exists in the town of Dolores. We opted to have lunch at Kubli Springs which was a good decision since the experience was really unforgettable! Although we had to pay P150 more, it was definitely worth it!

Ralph, Jay's assistant brought us to Lake Gunaw first before heading to Kubli. This is also Jay's property which he will be developing in the near future. He has plans of developing a resort here, which I can't wait to see! An infinity pool overlooking Lake Gunaw would be a beautiful site to see.

We arrived Kubli Springs just a few minutes after checking out Lake Gunaw. We were all excited to explore the place. It was a refreshing place and very much new to Hubby. For me, since I grew up in the province, it was something that I truly missed - fresh air, spring water (that we can even drink), sitting on huge stones, and the sun!!! It felt like home.

We expected Jay to arrive with our lunch after a few minutes but unfortunately we had to wait until 2:30PM for our lunch. We didn't bring snacks or anything so I was really starving. Close to hallucinating actually and almost having tantrums, asking Hubby to call Jay and check on him. HA! I almost ate the flowers! You see, I'm one of those people who can't get hungry because I would be acidic and it won't be a good thing for my tummy. That's why when Jay arrived, I was close to hugging him! LOL!

Well, the food was definitely worth the wait! Hubby ate a whole lot, he would need a couple of mens fat burner because he almost couldn't breathe after our lunch. LOL! We were supposed to be on a diet but since it was our Anniversary trip, we had a reason to binge. Thanks to those fat burner for men, Hubby will get her weight again in no time.

When I say, the food was delicious is an understatement. You just have to try it to believe me...

Pako Salad, Mushroom Risotto, Eggplant Parmigiana, and Vegetable Lasagna definitely made me HAPPY and FULL!

After lunch, we stayed for a couple of hours while Jay told us stories and laughed our hearts out. Then we went back to the cafe to have the best coffee and suman I've ever tasted. Jay can truly do wonders when it comes to food. I'm definitely going back there one of these days.
