New Hype in PPC: Max & Bunny Shop Restaurant

Friday. When I got a text message from Julie Anne, asking if I am available for some time to go out and check some new place in town.Since it was a very tiring and busy week for me, I simply said yes! Originally we just wanted coffee, but then the place offers a lot more!

 

Max and Bunny Restaurant is located at Lanzanas Road, San Pedro Puerto Princesa City. Just beside Rubydina's Pension House ( a few meters from the Back of One Asenso Place).

 

 

It has a nice pergola at the backyard, with cages for the rabbits/bunnies they're selling. A great place to have a cup of coffee while reading a book or chit-chatting with friends. (Just have a mosquito repellent with you when you stay by this area on a late afternoon, for your own protection).

 

Cute lavatory area just by the entrance of the restaurant, a must for the pandemic. At the door, they also have thermal scanner and alcohol sprayer. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

I particularly love the interiors and the furniture! Giving you a classical vibe, as if you're living at a Roman Times era! The chairs are so classy and looks fabulous! 

They have these small area with some stuffs for sale. Some are LOCAL products and a few imported goods too. They also sell wines (sold per bottle). 

 

 

 

 

 

While waiting for friends to arrived, Cathy and I decided to order some pica-pica. Nachos and Quesadillas (beef). Prep time was a bit long, maybe because the Nachos were freshly made. We undeniably liked the sauces from nachos to the dips for quesadillas! 

 

 

As the other two arrived, we decided to order one viand and a pizza. For we're all trying to lose some weight or to that extent! Hahaha   

 

Tika Masala good for 2-3 person, Max & Bunny's Original recipe - chicken meat cooked with tomatoes (with generous paste I think)  and herbs and spices! A delish one for us! The tomato based soup/sauce for this one is really powerful and is good for pita bread as dip! haha

  

 

Pizza was of that "Meat Lover" flavor. You have to option of upgrading the end crust to have cheese on it for an added amount of Php80.00.

Took a while to be cooked because they ran out of pre-made pizza dough, so they made a fresh one for us! 

 

 

 

  

 

Flerida asked for hot coffee and the rest of us had Hot Sweet Honey Lemon as our last minute order drinks. They also have beers.

You'll notice the classy dining wares and utensils were being used, the staff informed us that these are all collections of the couple owner, which were all bought abroad during their trips/travels, hence the aesthetics.

 

  

 

 

We all enjoyed the meal we had, and the chit chats! We were glad that despite the semi-long waiting of our food, we were attended well by their waiters/staff. We also liked the idea of having bunnies around the resto, running, playing around.

 

From L-R: Juls, Cathy, Me and Fle

 

 

 

 

Oh by the way, they are also selling bunnies/rabbits! Cheapest is Php500.00 depending on the breed, size and age!

ThePalawan: Your All in One Social Networking Site

#ThePalawan app has been officially launched via Zoom Virtual Press-Con happened later this day.

This social networking app aims to gather all small, local businesses in Palawan to showcase or offer their products or services to the masses, and at the same time can function as a source of entertainment too! 

With this app, you can stream live shows of local artists, vloggers and entertainers, watch movies and can even listen to music. Of course, it comes with chatting features as well. 

As you can see, there are buttons for events, places, marketplace, almost everything you can find it here in this app. The HUB for everything PALAWAN. As in EVERYTHING! 

 

One thing I liked about this app, as mentioned by Direk Dante, is that local small business can join the platform and advertise their businesses for a very affordable amount of Php1,000.00 for 3years (pandemic rate).

 

#ThePalawan is the brain child of Direk Dante Nico Garcia- the famous Cuyunon film-maker, known for being the director of Ploning.
