Bohol Bee Farm

Anyone who’s been to Bohol would agree that there’s no better way to spend your lunch than take the Loboc River Cruise. But sometimes, all floating restaurants get full, leaving those that cannot be accommodated anymore with extreme disappointment.

But on the contrary, during my last visit to Bohol, I appreciated that I encountered such a situation for I was able to discover an extraordinary find--- THE BOHOL BEE FARM RESTAURANT.

Discreetly located in Dauis, Panglao Island, The Bohol Bee Farm Resto is a nature-themed diner almost hidden from the world. We actually went here to check out the bee sanctuary, but we can’t help but appreciate the cozy restaurant literally nestled in lush greens and quiet paths where guests can communicate with nature while enjoying an interesting smorgasbord of organic delights. With the breathtaking view of the Panglao Beach, how can you just leave without treating your stomach out?

Being almost carnivore, i tried their signatured spare ribs (sold at PhP200 or USD5) which comes with an organic rice and salad. Initially, i thought that the three flowers topping the salad were just decorative garnishing. But i was told me they’re actually part of the meal. Okay, while they looked too colorful to be edible, they also appeared too interesting to be ignored... and so I didn’t miss the chance of introducing them to my taste buds... and Holla! They tasted just like your regular greens! I was so proud of myself that I was able to eat flowers for the first time! Woot!

For my beverage, I ordered their Tanglad Iced Tea (PhP40 or USD1). With the twist of the lemon grass flavor that I so loved. It was so refreshing that I ended up ordering another glass. Need I say more? Too bad they don’t have a refillable version.

The resto also offers other dishes of organic ingredients such as Fresh Herb Pasta (PhP180 or USD4.50), the highly recommended Camote (sweet potato) Pasta (PhP160 or USD4), Coriander Soup, of course rich in Coriander leaves and stems (PhP160 or USD4), Halang-Halang (organic chicken) soup, Spicy Kinilaw Talong, broiled eggplant with coconut milk (PhP160 or USD4). Of course, how will they miss on offering honeyed desserts such as Ube Fries with Honey (PhP80 or USD2), Camote Pie (PhP60 or USD1.5) and their home-made ice cream with flavor of your choice (Mango, Buko, Nangka or Rainbow which is the combination of all flavors) sold at PhP 80 or USD2.

It is also interesting to know that the owner and chef Vicky Wallace herself prepares these delicious meals from organically-grown vegetables on her farm. Like Vicky, her staff were so friendly which is but casual among Boholanos.

Wow, I highly recommend dining at Bohol Bee Farm. Take it from someone who, apart from travelling, is crazy for good food. =D
