Travel for Two: A side trip to Dumaguete

Since there's no direct flight from Manila to Siquijor, we took the Manila - Dumaguete - Siquijor route so we can also visit Dumaguete and finally try their famous Sans Rival

Rizal Boulevard. The whole stretch was very clean and very inviting

From the Dumaguete Port, we walked towards Rizal Boulevard which is around 5 minutes away. We had our brunch in the famous Sans Rival Bistro, and then had some desserts at the Sans Rival Cakes and Pastries which is really really famous for their, yep you guessed it, Sans Rival, Sylvanas and other cakes.

We really loved the Cinnamon Chocolate Cream Bun and our Mango Cake (I forgot the exact name), plus what's really amazing was their prices were really cheap (around 20 to 40Php per bread/cake slice)! And I mean bakery sa kanto cheap! hehe! Definitely a must try when you're in the area!

To die for Cinnamon Chocolate Cream Bun!!!!

After the very satisfying dessert, we then made our way to Dumaguete Cathedral, around 5-minute walk from the Cafe. Took some photos and then went back to the Port to wait for our boat. (You need to check-in your ticket around an hour / 30 minutes before the departure so they can give you your seat number).

When we left, I tried to research more on Dumaguete and turns out it's one of the best places to retire.. so that's definitely staying on our places to go back to list.. Also, the Sans Rival and the Cinnamon bun is more than enough reason to plan a return trip someday. :)
