Gaga over Go Nuts Donuts!

I just looooove Go Nuts Donuts!!! Tra la la la la la!!! The donuts that could make me crow at the top of my lungs: "Insanely delicious!" Haha! And that's exactly what Go Nuts Donuts claims... "Go Nuts Donuts... Insanely Delicious" =)

Chocolate Frost, Strawberry Glaze... mmm...mmm! There's just something about the way these donuts are made; light, soft and fluffy... the way it seems to melt in your mouth the moment you start to bite into it. Incomparable! And the frosting? Don't you just hate the way some donuts claim "strawberry frosting" but it tastes just like sugar colored pink? Not these donuts! Chocolate tastes like chocolate; strawberries like strawberries and peanut butter like peanut butter! They've even got peanut butter donuts!

I wish I could taste all flavors but there's just too many of them to try out... huhuhu... ='( Loops like Chocolate Frost and Strawberry Glaze cost about 24 pesos apiece but if you wanna try their Primadonna donuts like the Black Forest with its white chocolate frosting and choclate shavings plus cherry jam toppings (whew!) they cost 28 pesos apiece. Chinx bought a dozen for the three of us. I got ChocoMallow Frost and a Primadonna donut called Blueberry Stuffits and I would have eaten more if Marc hadn't wiped everything in sight in a matter of seconds! Grrrr!!!

Oh, and you've got to try their Teazzings! too. Hehe, that's just their fancy name for iced tea really but theirs is truly one of a kind (not the usual popular brand of powdered iced tea typically served in most restaurants.) You can go for Lemon, Apple, Melon, Pineapple, Grapes and Lychee... (LAMPGL... yep I think I have them covered. Hehe!) I never even knew iced tea could have that many flavors! And yeah, apple tastes like apple, grapes taste like grapes; both of which we had by the way. =)

Too bad I live too far from Banilad Town Center (BTC) to grab a Go Nuts donut any time I want to. ='( But hey, they do have a take-out counter outside the main entrance of Robinsons in Fuente Osmena, if it's any consolation. Hehe. Although, BTC is perfect if you're thinking about unwinding with donuts over coffee (they have tables provided outdoors to do just that.)

Go nuts over donuts with Go Nuts Donuts!!! Yehey!!! =)

Welcome to Go Nuts Donuts at Banilad Town Center! =)

Go Nuts Donuts array of insanely delicious donuts! Yum!

I was lucky enough to get a pic of these before Marc could eat them up! =) From left to right: Chocolate Frost, Strawberry Glaze and Blueberry Stuffits

Chillin' and Eatin' @ Fisherman's Net

Ok, here's the pic. Where should we chill today? High-end coffeeshops with their AC's were definitely off the list. We needed a place where we could just hang out for a chat and smoke, devour a good lunch without it having to burn a deep hole in our pockets. Then Chinx suggested, Fisherman's Net along Lahug main road would do the trick.

"Where else can you find a tall glass of mango shake that costs only 20 pesos???" Chinx declared. Hmmm... even I couldn't counter that. Fisherman's Net it is.

The outdoor garden restaurant provided just the relaxed atmosphere we were looking for. And what was on the menu? Hmmm... appetizers ranged from the 120-peso-bulaklak, gambas, calamares down to the 30-peso-squid rolls and kikiam. Specialties go from the 130-peso-sizzling stuffed squid, boneless bangus and buttered chicken priced at 110 pesos each down to the 50-peso-French fries. Oh, they do have value meals too. For 55 pesos, you can have either meat balls, chicken bbq, sweet and sour pork, buttered chicken... just to name a few, and that already comes with rice, a side dish of atchara and a small glass of iced tea. I had a moment of confusion though coz they also offered the same dishes at 60 pesos but without the iced tea. Asked whether the 60-peso dish was of a bigger serving, the waiter replied that they were served the same size. So...???

We settled on Pork Sisig (100 pesos, no rice), a chicken bbq value meal and of course, a couple of those 20-peso mango shakes. The mango shakes were great, although I would prefer to taste more mango, less or no milk on my shake though but then to each his own. And for 20 pesos? Still worth it.) Pork sisig? Serving size, fine. Taste? Delish. The chicken bbq meal? Yummy but... I specifically asked for a thigh part and they gave me a teeny weeny drumstick. Hmm...

Great food, slow service though. And you might want to double check your bill first if they charged you with the right order.
