8 Must-Buy Batangas Take-Home Treats
Seeking a vacation in a resort? Nasugbu, Batangas is a great choice, as it is home to resorts like Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club, which allows for many opportunities to revel in nature and fun adventures. Travelers, especially the weekend warriors, consider Batangas, Philippines as a staple destination for short breaks because of its nearness to Metro Manila. Of course, almost no one leaves the province without bringing home a few sweet treats or “pasalubong”. Here are just a few delicacies you might want to check out:
1. Kapeng barako
Considered as the best-selling product of Batangas, kapeng barako is a local brew from the Liberica coffee variety. The locals prepare this coffee by simply pouring hot water unto the beans and straining the concoction using a cloth. Usually served black, it is commonly sweetened with honey or brown sugar. Kapeng barako can also be used to make espresso-based drinks.
2. Pakaskas
The term is astutely coined because you need to scrap it with your teeth to be able to eat it properly. Pakaskas is made from buli, a local tree that is a variety of the coconut. A pack, consisting of 10 pieces, costs PHP25 to PHP35.
3. Tapang Taal
Tapang Taal gets its rich flavors from the marinade of soy sauce, garlic, calamansi, and pepper. Either grilled or fried, the combined garlicky taste and sweetness of this scrumptious dish is truly overwhelming. This pork viand is best served with fried rice and kapeng barako.
4. Tamarind Products
Another delectable treat that you can buy is the tamarind candy. It is a sweet and sour confection that has become a favorite of both locals and visitors. Tamarind wine, meanwhile, is the latest addition to the locale's string of offerings.
5. Panutsa
Batangas' variant of peanut brittle, panutsa is made of whole peanuts and caramelized brown sugar. You can readily buy this flat disc-shaped sweet for it is available in all bus stations in the province.
6. Ube
For those who love luscious desserts, ube cake is a must-buy before going home from your resort in Nasugbu. Depending on the size, you can purchase these for as low as PHP20 to as much as PHP250. Two varieties are available—the special ube cakes with more ingredients and the regular one.
7. Bagoong Balayan
Most bagoong Balayan are made from dilis and galunggong, two of the best tasting fish in town. This local specialty smells funny but tastes like cheese. It is a salt substitute in Balayan Caesar salad dressing and a common condiment for fish.
8. Meringue
A few stores in Batangas sell specialized meringue using super fine sugar and egg whites baked to perfection. So, after your sun-kissed escapades, make a brief stopover in a “pasalubong” center near the Chateau Royale Sports and Country Club, and get a pack of this product, which amounts to around PHP50.

4. Because of its fairly small land area, Camps Bay can be explored by foot. But if you prefer riding around to walking, you will easily spot taxis in the area. This mode of transportation is helpful, especially to those staying in the topmost areas of the suburb, because from there, one needs to walk at least for an hour to get to the nearest beach.
5. From your accommodation in Camps Bay, Cape Town, you will be able to access a number of remarkable beaches:
a) A famed dive site that is also known as Witsand, Lui Bay features 2 scrap vessels that got submerged during a storm in 1977.
b) Bakoven is home to numerous sheltered coves that you may choose to explore.
c) Are you looking for a beach where you can comfortably have a picnic with your pals? Then head to Oudekraal. Here, you will find a grassy, covered area with tables, benches, and toilets.
d) If you love surfing and you're looking for the most challenging breaks in the area, then Glen Beach should be your destination.
e) While soaking up the sun, you may also enjoy shopping when in Koeel. Here, you will find an open-air curio market, where you will spot handcrafted African trinkets.
f) The Blue Flag Camps Bay Beach is the suburb's largest white-sand stretch and is also the nearest to Primi Royal location.

The BCC Hotel & Residence Now Offers a Faster and Easier Way of Booking Rooms
Batam, Indonesia – Making accommodation arrangements is now quicker and fuss-free thanks to The BCC Hotel & Residence's new website feature, a reservation engine powered by DirectWithHotels. This direct booking engine allows travellers to procure rooms wherever they are in just minutes. The system has an easy-to-use interface, gives instant confirmation, and effectively eliminates the need to transact with third parties, such as travel agencies and customer service representatives. This saves time and money that would normally be wasted on the conventional process of calling the hotel to book a room.
Online visitors must first log on to http://www.thebcchotel.com/ if they want to reserve a room with The BCC Hotel in Batam Island. There, they can launch the booking engine by clicking on the “Check availability and prices” button on the homepage. Doing so will load a calendar page where they can select their desired stay dates. Clicking “View rooms and prices” after that will bring them to another page where they can choose their preferred type and number of rooms.
The reservations system is also equipped with a print button, a currency converter, and a bookmarking option for easier referencing and navigation. After picking out the rooms, they can now review their booking and proceed to the check-out page and supply the necessary personal information, such as credit card details, and required 10% prepayment. After confirming their reservation, they will then receive a confirmation email containing details of their booking and payment made and due.
The balance, which is less the 10% prepayment, must be settled directly at the hotel in Batam Island. Reservations can also be modified on or before the check-in date without charges. Also, no additional charge will apply if they cancel up to 2 Day(s) or more before their scheduled arrival date. If guests cancel later, 75% of the total amount of the reservation will be charged.
The BCC Hotel & Residence is a 228-room hotel in Batam's business district. It has spacious suites, banquet facilities, and Internet access for leisure and business travellers.

5 Festivals to Look Forward to When Visiting The Thai Capital
For some, the best time to book a stay at a hotel in Bangkok like De Arni Bangkok is on the dates when various festivals are celebrated in the city. Indeed, a visit to a new place becomes a more welcoming and unforgettable treat when underscored with a special occasion. So if you're planning a vacation in Thailand's capital, consider scheduling your arrival in time for the following renowned events:
1. Thai Kite, Sports, and Music Festival
During the summer months of March and April, the city's skies are peppered with kites of all shapes and sizes. And although this alone is a big enough thing to celebrate — considering the amount of time and creativity poured out by its participants into creating these light aircraft — expect to see more. For about a month, the whole city comes together for the Thai Kite, Sports, and Music Festival, in which traditional sports activities, folk song performances, and kite-flying games are simultaneously held.
2. Songkran Festival
Plan your trip in mid-April and expect to be welcomed by water-drenched streets. Otherwise known as Thai New Year, the Songkran Festival is an extremely joyous occasion that is celebrated all over the country. Here, you will chance upon various modes of merriment happening in every corner of the capital. These include not only the famous water-throwing but also praying, dancing, and thanksgiving.
3. Amazing Thailand Grand Sale
Unlike most of Bangkok's other major festivals that revolve around culture and religion, the annual Amazing Thailand Grand Sale focuses on letting everyone swim in big discounts when shopping. Although the capital is only one of the event's many participating cities, it is still the choice destination of many, because it is where the widest range of products can be found. Here, buyers enjoy up to 80 percent off on retail items, as well as services offered by various establishments, such as Bangkok accommodations, restaurants, spas, and even medical clinics.
4. Loi Krathong Festival
There is one time in the calendar when the Thai community gathers to honor water spirits to wash away the problems of the past year. This is called the Loi Krathong Festival, which is celebrated every November on the full moon of the 12th lunar month. After sunset, locals come together to a nearby body of water to launch scented candles on small boats made out of banana leaves. Each time, the annual event attracts big crowds because of the uplifting image of faith and renewal that it emanates.
5. Golden Mount Fair
Aside from the solemn Loi Krathong Festival, one reason to go to the city during the month of November is the Golden Mount Fair, a colorful festivity that brings locals and tourists around Saket Temple. Here, the striking edifice's golden crown is covered with a red cloth, which signals the opening of a fair of amusing performances, various food stalls, and bazaars within its complex. From De Arni Bangkok, you can reach the venue of this exciting affair by heading to the Pom Prap Sattru Phai district.
