Sampaloc Lake

Instead of having a Christmas party, my barkada (group of friends)
and I decided to visit Sampalok Lake in San Pablo City, Laguna.
Known as the City of Seven Lakes, San Pablo City is an hour's drive
from Pila.

Sampalok lake is just 10 minutes walk from the main avenue.


The majestic Mt. Banahaw can be seen from the lake.


Don't leave San Pablo without trying the famous Mami ng San Pablo.


Julie's Bakeshop makes these lechon shape bread.
A cheaper substitute for the real one.


Don't like lechon? Try this giant shrimp bread instead.

  1. That soup looks wonderful. Is that mushrooms in broth with a whole egg? If so, I love that! Wish I could get something hearty and healthful like that in these parts-not a chance though!

  2. Nice feature, if you know what I mean Ela. :)

    Haha, Ela, that's a very good question. You got me there thinking for a little bit, but the answer is no. Siyempre, I haven't lost it yet. Enjoy pa ako sa pag-biyahe. (read the rest of the comment by clicking below) :)
