Ernest Reyes I Creatives Hidden Wonders is the

If you’re a vegan who’s visiting Cavite, worry no more for the province boasts of a plant-based café called Hidden Wonders.

Situated in Bacoor City, this restaurant serves wholly organic food, without salt, oil, added sugar, dairy, or GMO ingredients.

Their best seller is the Utmost burger which is 95 percent organic. Its recipe is completely vegan and made from nutritious, whole food ingredients with plenty of spices that make a delicious patty. Even the burger buns are made of organic flour.

To add flavor, the restaurant’s ketchup and mayo are made of tofu.

According to the owner of Hidden Wonders, they import their ingredients from different countries such as Sri Lanka, Iran, Egypt, and Japan among others.

Aside from the Utmost burger, they have the best sugar-free non-dairy Matcha milk tea. They also serve their locally grown potato no-oil fries. Their Cinnamon Rolls are made of organic all-purpose flour and dates, almond milk, organic Ceylon Cinnamon, and Sourdough Starter. They are also proud of their versions of pandesal and apple pie.

Every time they are serving anything from their menu, customers are buying not just their products, but the five years of research in mastering the recipes. They serve is not just food but a lifestyle. It is something that should be shared and continued for the people who need it the most.

Haven Cavite in

During the hotter seasons in our country, you’d be hard-pressed to not hear someone say something along the lines of, “Imagine how much fun it is to be in Boracay right now.” or “If it’s hot here in the Metro, Boracay must be so refreshing!”. Anybody who loves traveling and beach outings, in general, has ‘Visit Boracay’ on their bucket list.

I had first-hand experience of

Boracay’s exhilarating nightlife and allure when we last went to the island pre-pandemic for my sister’s birthday.

It was late in the month of June, so school was pretty much at fullspeed at the time, because of that, we only had the weekend to spare. Our flight only lasted for about an hour, landing at Godfredo P Ramos Airport at 9 AM. From there, we were welcomed by the salty sea breeze whipping across our faces as the sea was quite close to the edge of the runway. It’s a far trudge to Boracay though, as you’d still have to ride a van and a tourist bus before finally arriving at Caticlan Jetty Port, this would take about an hour depending on which route you take. It’s a short 30-minute boat ride from the edge of Aklan to Boracay island, but it was sweet nonetheless. I expected myself to be scared because it was only my second time in recent memory to ride a boat, but everything went smoothly.

The island of Boracay is big. Bigger than I expected. After getting off the boat we still had to ride a motorcycle to get to the Boracay that everyone seeks— the pristine white beaches. It’s an exhilarating experience to see people from different countries enjoying the sun and sights our country has to provide. Of course, soaking, sunbathing, and sightseeing in Boracay is fun, but it has nothing on what a night in Boracay offers. Music everywhere, food wherever you look at, and people having fun whichever way you go. And as the seashore recedes a bit during the night, the beach is bigger and there are folks hanging out as far as the eyes can see. It’s not the irritating type of crowd either, it’s equally spaced out, neat-looking, and it’s all very reminiscent of what a wide park would look like. I don’t particularly consider myself a homebody—I’ve been to parties and bars—but to experience the nightlife in Boracay is a completely different vibe than the clubs around Manila. With hotels and bars lining up the shoreline it’s difficult to not find the right place to spend the night, from the luxurious buffet of Sea Breeze Cafe at Henann Regency Resort, to the drinks and spirit of the Epic Boracay Nightclub—whether you’re looking for a simple food trip or an electrifying party, the beaches of Boracay has got you covered. Of course with the pandemic, one could only imagine how different this highly social experience would be, but that curiosity fuels us to look forward to better years to come—where the pandemic will no longer have a grasp on us.
