Roughly 9am, we continue the journey to malatte, we have booked the hotel since in KL, from Subic Bay to Malatte probably spent 4 hours; when almost reach malatte, we saw one of the street they have many shop are roast pigs, a lot of roast pig there, the size are not that big as chinese roast pig.





About 2pm, we reached to the motel, called Malatte Mansion, the motel the room is not that big, but is closed to the shopping, casino, seaside and a lot of pub there!

About 2pm, we reached to the motel, called Malatte Mansion, the motel the room is not that big, but is closed to the shopping, casino, seaside and a lot of pub there!

For the first place we want to go is information center to ask for the trip to Taal volcano, the information center is close to Rizal Park, then we took cab to there, we stroll around the Rizal Park; my mum bought the young mango beside the road, but that’s very sour even put the sos also the same, then she just gave to the little beggar, haha! Then we keep walking and saw a small store in Rizal park, the shop is not so outstanding, but the food looks quite attracting me, so we planned to have a lunch here, the foods is black papper pork knuckle, potato fried with minced pork and some small dishes vege, the foods here always give us out of expected, the taste very nice! After the meal we walk to the information center and asked for the price to Taal Volcano trip, but what we asked the price there is 6000 peso, that’s quite expensive, because before we asked the driver Uncle Mario, he gave us 5000 peso per person only the trip to volcano, so we decided to asked uncle Mario fetch us tomorrow morning!

After the information center, our next trip is take cab and go to Tutuban Mall, this shopping mall have a lot of cellphone store and some of the clothes stores, after that we went out to the mall and walk to the outside of Tutuban Mall; Wah! This place have so many roadside hawker, you can get plenty of cheap clothes, shoes, souvenirs and also have a lot of local food like Chinese kuih, malay tupak, quite interesting, but here is really congested, a lot of people and the jeepney shuttle here; before we came here, a lot of friend and taxi driver advice don’t go outside to Tutuban Mall, because here have a lot of robber cases here, when we planned to go back, because of the congested we can’t get the cab, then we tried to asked for the jeepney, when we asked one jeepney driver, then The crowd besieged looks so terrible, then we tried to quit from there and some of them keep follow us, their looks bit weird for us; finally we go until back to the Tutuban mall there and asked for the security guard there to asked for the cab location, huh!

After we get the cab, from there to hotel the driver said 200 peso, actually before that we already planned to go the cruise dinner which is around the seaside around our hotel there, the place is close to the Jumbo Cruise, so we asked the driver and he knew the way to go, so we decided to have a cruise dinner; but the driver took us to the Jumbo cruise and charges us 400 peso, so closed to hotel we have to paid double, then we tried to have a look the price for the Jumbo Cruise, wah, very expensive, so we planned go outside just simply have a dinner; when I reach to the front gate of the Jumbo, I asked the guard where is the location of the Cruise Dinner, she nicely to told us just walked beside the seaside 100 meter distance only, when we reached there, so many restaurant there, have mei lin, julibee, and just walk trough all the restaurant and reached to port, you can see a cruise park there; and we bought a voucher for the dinner cost 550 peso perpax, and walk in to the cruise; for this dinner, they serves of set dinner, which is fish fillet with rice, soup and soft drink; beside this they have a live Band of Phillipine, they will invite you for dance, yeah! The Cruise drive along the river and we can have a dinner and enjoy the beautiful night malatte scenary, wow, so wonderful!

After the meal was 10pm, we take cab to go hotel have a rest and prepare next day wake early for the next trip, which is Taal Volcano, yeah!
