WINNER! Share Your DiscOVIries : Food/Dining Places

Thank you so much to everyone who took time in sending their latest Food and Dining places discOVIries.  We really had a hard time choosing for the short listed entries and now we have a winner!

The winner for the first week of my DiscOVIry contest is Maria Cecilia T. Velasquez! Here’s the winning entry:

sabins_pizza

Sabins Hotel in Ormoc City is the perfect place to be, not just for their accommodations but also if you just want to spend a lazy afternoon drinking beer, eating pizza, and stuffing yourself with their infamous paella while checking Facebook with their reasonably fast wifi connection and a spectacular view of Ormoc Bay. The sunset in Sabins Hotel is truly beautiful!

My favorite pizza flavors are the Seafood and Supremo which come in super thin crusts. As for the paella, I recommend the Sol Y Mar which has seafood, chicken, and pork. I love working online while in Sabins. You can really get the job done while enjoying it! The place is huge if you explore it. Their swimming pool is probably the best one in the region and the hotel itself has a class of its own.

I would like to thank everyone who sent their photos and recommendations to the first week of my Nokia OVI contest! The photos you’ve sent are mouth-watering and thinking of whom to pick for the shortlist made me really hungry 😛

The theme for this week will best suit our lakwatseros and lakwatseras like me. Mind to share your Must-visit travel destinations? Whether that is located somewhere in Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao, it doesn’t matter. I am looking for something that is something the Philippines will be proud of. 🙂

Here’s a sample entry for Week 2:

Plantation Bay

Plantation Bay Resort and Spa was hailed as one of the Top 100 Resorts in the World by Conde Nast Traveler and one of the Top 10 Family-Friendly Resorts in Asia by Asia Spa Magazine. I went to the place for a quick tour last January and now I know why this place is very much recognized around the world. I would love to go back! It is located at Mactan, Cebu.
