Yummy Fish & Chips at Los Indios Bravos

November 22, 2020

During our stay in Discovery Shores Boracay, we didn’t really plan on going anywhere. The resort has really good food and so beautiful, it’s a place where you just stay with your family/kids and enjoy the lovely space.

But TD found out that there is a place with good Fish & Chips nearby. TD was born in London and did his University and Masters in the UK. We tried to go for lunch but it was closed so we made reservations for dinner.

It’s not beach side so we looked for White House & you need to go in the side alley to the left and walk a few meters to find Los Indios Bravos.

I liked the interiors which had photos of our brave Filipino forefathers.

It’s a great pub with lots of beers on tap.

It’s a bit dark so they provide cute lamps for the menus.

THE SIMPLE MENU

We had to order beer of course!

The Oysters Rockefeller were super delicious!

The Fish n’ Chips lived up to it’s hype!

The surprise hit of the evening was the baby back ribs!

Los Indios Bravos is translated as “The Brave Filipinos”  and the art around the resto reflected that. It was really quite interesting! Read more about them here.

It is an association that consists of Filipino writers in European countries. The purpose of this group is to write poems, stories and newspaper articles showing the current condition of the Philippines in the hands of the Spaniards and friars. They wanted people to be aware of the cruel and terrible treatment of those Spaniards towards their fellow Filipinos. Also, its other goal is for every Filipino to have an education and  the likes of Rizal to grant reforms from Spain.

UNVEILING RIZAL

The food was delicious and the only point for improvement that I can recommend is that the staff get more training on how to compute PWD and Senior Citizen’s Discount fairly. My husband got very frustrated with this, but personally, I would for the food!

A WARNING

On the way home – and usually every sunset – we encountered many sellers that try to entice children with their colorful toys. Normally we do not buy but one guy was super insistent and when he convinced DiploBaby to try this toy, my son was in love.

We don’t mind paying the high price (they are probably selling it for 5-10x the price in Divisoria) but it broke almost immediately and the guy refused to replace it. I think it’s only fair that they replace something if it breaks withing 24 hrs. I will never buy from such a seller again and I warn other against it.

Up next is a Boracay classic: the Cheese Pizza of Two Seasons Boracay!

SNOW FUN IN LAPLAND We arrived at the perfect tim SNOW FUN IN LAPLAND

We arrived at the perfect time in @santaclausvillage_rovaniemi. It was cold but not like the week before wherein it was -18 C low.

So we managed with our UNIQLO Ultra Light Down Jackets. I still brought waterproof jackets just in case but the most important to bring were the WATERPROOF SNOW GLOVES because @diplobaby loved playing with the snow so much & its essential for SLEDDING. When they fall of they need the gloves to protect their hands from getting wounded and the ice.

@glass_resort lends out kids sleds for free. My son loved it!

Hope you enjoyed seeing us enjoy the snow. SAVE THIS post if you plan on visiting Rovaniemi in Finland with your kids!

GLASS RESTAURANT We were so lucky our GLASS APAR GLASS RESTAURANT 

We were so lucky our GLASS APARTMENT in @glass_resort was so near their beautiful restaurant GLASS RESTAURANT.

I initially wasn’t attracted to Finnish food but they changed my mind guys! Who knew?!?

Read my review of their BREAKFAST BUFFET & ALA CARTE MENU here:

https://undiplomaticwife.com/glass-restaurant-rovaniemi/

It was the perfect place to eat after a long day of walking. It allowed us to try the best versions of FINNISH FOOD that we might not have been brave enough otherwise. 

We got to try moose, reindeer & salmon soup which are delicacies of the region. We were all very surprised by how delicious everything was.

You can see @diplobaby’s face after he found out he was eating reindeer. I told him they are retired reindeer and he ask for a bit more. I guess the foodie in him is strong. 😂🤭 taste surpasses all!

We also had TD’s birthday dinner there and they were so nice to serve the cake with a candle & a song. So sweet and definitely made us so happy!

We also enjoyed their breakfast buffet. The meatballs were especially delicious. 

The restaurant and buffet are small but mighty. You can tell you are having high quality food.

So many firsts in this restaurant & so many memories we treasure as a family.

Have you had Finnish cuisine? What’s your favorite?

ARCTIC OUTDOOR HOT TUB + SAUNA Did you guys know ARCTIC OUTDOOR HOT TUB + SAUNA

Did you guys know that 

“The Finnish sauna is a substantial part of Finnish and Estonian culture. It was inscribed on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists on  December 17, 2020”

With over 3.3Million saunas for 5.5million inhabitants in Finland, it’s normal for a home or even a flat to have a sauna. (Figure from @vivefinlandia) 

Naturally our GLASS APARTMENT in @glass_resort had a fabulous on inside the bathroom.

It was @diplobaby’s first time & we asked the staff for recommendations to make his first experience a good one. He told us to lower the temp to 55C & have Jim’s sit in the bottom.

Our nervous son who usually doesn’t like the sound of fire crackling was able to over come his fear because he wanted to be the one to pour the water on the piping hot rocks. I just had to tell him not to do it so much so it wouldn’t be too hot.

I asked the staff how young kids sauna here & he said he’s been going since he was a baby!

As for the HOT TUB - it’s all of our first time to do it outdoors in the freezing arctic.

They showed us how to open & close the tub plus where NOT to step because it’s slippery. That’s why TD had to hang our robes from inside the tob.

It was a magical experience to be in a hot tub while looking up at the stars surrounded by snow in the Arctic. It was freezing for sure going in and out. Just think that cold exposure is actually healthy. SO against Filipino culture agains LAMIG (cold)!

Such a wonderful experience as a family! So grateful that we decided to do this for TD’s birthday last April! So worth it. We have him small inexpensive gifts because the true gift was this experience.

DINO WORLD EXPO One of the exhibitions that weren DINO WORLD EXPO

One of the exhibitions that weren’t here when we first went to @signaldebougy is the @dinoworldexpo. I was delighted that it was as interesting for the adults as it was for the kids. 

It closes at 7pm & we started at about 5:40pm already but it only takes 1-2hrs so we just hurried walking around so in other parts there was time to play.

What were the highlights for us?

- EXCAVATION a sandbox upgrade, making the littles feel like paleontologist
- ROBOTIC DINOS with interesting information
- QR codes if you want an AUDIO GUIDED TOUR
- GIANT AERIAL TRAMPOLINE was something new for @diplobaby
- AUGMENTED REALITY SANDBOX was super cool!
- DINO GOLF was fun for our group

What we didn’t get to do:
- BOUNCY LABYRINTH coz we didn’t have time anymore 
- THE FOSSIL RIVER coz you have to buy a bag of sand to do it

I’m glad we had time to have this fun experience after @accrobranche (see previous reels) because not only did we learn stuff, but it was a lot of fun!

DINO WORLD EXPO is open everyday 10am to 7pm until 20 August 2023 Signal de Bougy. There are 2 parking areas, but we opted to go later in the day - 230pm - so some people were already leaving and we found parking easily.

This place is around 40minutes give or take depending on where you live in Geneva.
