The sights and sounds in Boracay are fascinating, not to mention the delicious food that this popular island serves. Club Tourists stayed in Boracay for almost a week. We've ate a lot of seafoods and realized we missed some urban treats like burgers, spaghetti or the like. Thank heavens there's Bite Club Grilled Burger in D*mall beside the famous Ferris wheel.
We were not actually familiar with the brand but we got the chance to check out the place. Have you tried Brothers Burger? how about Flamers? or better yet out local favorite which is the New Champ in Jollibee? Much similar to these popular fast food.
Imagine a burger with your choices of the following:
Weight of Patty Quarter Pound (Club Burger) Half Pound (The Bomb) One Pound (Duplex) Type of Patty Chicken Beef Fish Toppings Mushroom Pepper Creamy Cheddar Blue Cheese Cream Hickory-smoked BBQ Sauce Chunky Mushroom and Cheese Cajun-style Spicy Sauve Cheddar Cheese Sauce Wasabi and Teriyaki Sauce Roasted Garlic and Cheese Caramelized Onions Grilled or Fresh Onions
These oversized burgers cost roughly from Php 115 to Php 175 bucks. Prices provided below
As we strolled down the Vivo City Mall in Singapore, we passed by one store that captivates our attention. We're looking at a huge store (roughly around 1,500 square meter in space) with so much history to learn, so much stuffs to grab and so much things to try. National Geographic has planted its 2nd (second) store next to London. Nat-Geo called this "Global Experiential Space". Nice!
Since 1888, National Geographic continues to inspire the whole world to care about our planet. They have done by sending out millions and millions of information magazines worldwide. Not to mention its own National Geographic channel in cable TV.
While touring the store, we've seen a small glass room. This is Nat-Geo's Controlled Freezing Chamber. One of the "coolest" place in the store! Literally! Imagine yourself in a 15 degrees Celsius/5 degrees Fahrenheit temperature? How your body reacts in this type of condition. You can simulate this one by using your own clothes and afterwards you'll try it with the use of the jacket that Nat-Geo offers in the store.

For More Information About National Geographic Store:
Ever tried Sinangag Express? Not your typical "tapsilogan". This firm is giving out the best beef tapa for more than 20 years now. Still, they are considered the BEST. Lots of combinations to choose from. Bagsilog, Tapang Orig, and Tapang Tapat just to name a few. Top these choices with Sukang Paumbong with Sili, Perfect! And the price? Php 50 bucks is not bad for a tight budget right? A real good deal for students as well.
A typical zoo is a place where you can see animals placed in a cage. No animal encounters at all. This notion was completely changed by Zoobic Safari in Subic Bay Freeport Zone. This 25 hectares zoo is setup in Ilanin Forest. The look and feel is absolutely different. You may either choose to ride a jeepney tram or have a little breeze walk to see several animals. Much like the Night Safari in Singapore if you'll ask, except that this is a day park.
Commuting Visitors: From Manila, you may take the Victory Liner bus to Olonggapo City. Since Zoobic Safariopens at 8:00AM and closes at 4:00PM, Club Tourists suggest to take the most earliest trip. Expect a 2-3 1/2 hour ride going to Olonggapo Victory Liner Terminal. Note: The bus rate depends on what terminal you are in, the average cost would be between Php 190 - 220 bucks one way as of July 2009.
From the Victory Liner Terminal, catch a BLUE jeepney to Subic Freeports Main Gate Area. Walk across the main gate and either take the bus or hire a van or taxi going to the zoo. Note: Vans and Taxis rate here are expensive. Roughly Php 150 - 200 bucks one way as of July 2009.
Visitors with private/rented vehicles: Club Tourists won't fool you, going to Zoobic Safari is not very commuter friendly. We suggest to bring your own wheels or just rent. You'll just shed out a little amount if you'll compute it compared to paying the bus fares.
Anyways, take the NEW Clark-Subic Highway. This will take 1 1/2 hours from Balintawak to Subic. Just that! No hassles to go to other places like the Ocean Adventure and beaches in the vicinity.
Visitors who wants to try the Ferry: There are ferry who leaves CCP Terminal in Manila Bay to Orion. Roughly 1 1/2 hours going there. In Orion, take bus going to Olonggapo City.

You need a whole day to experience the whole of safari. There are lots of activities to do. So, be prepared
THE PAVILION As the Zoobic Safari says, "The Adventure Starts Here!". This is the main entrance of the park. As you enter, live tigers are already in display in their cages. There are also scheduled programs for the young and young-at-heart. Get a chance to have your picture taken just beside a tiger or a cub. A little bit of a starter for you.
TIGER SAFARI One of the best experience in Zoobic Safari! Buy a live chicken worth Php 200 bucks and have it tied in the jeepney tram. As you passed by some tigers, don't get shocked or surprised as this carnivores jump over the top or at the side of the tramp and munch the chicken like there's no tomorrow. MUST TRY!
ZOOBIC PARK Petting zone and animal observation area along a mini forest. Farm and exotic animals are in sight.
SAVANNAH Rent a golf car or drive your own and get up close and personal with ostriches, wild boars, sheeps and goats
SERPENTARIUM This is a place (from the suffix -arium) of different types of snakes and reptiles (from the prefix serpent). Enough of the English class. Have your picture taken while a big snake are lingering all over your neck. Whoooo!
CROCO LOCO This is more like a crocodile farm for those who tried it in Davao. Chance to feed this hungry crocs by buying some meat worth Php 100 and experience the reptiles strengths as they jump over for the food and munch it all at the same time. Curious? Try it!
RODENT WORLD Mouse, hamster, guinea pig, The Chipmunks or what have you. They are all here. (kidding on The Chipmunks, just squirrels ok?)
AETA TRAIL & SHOW Real aeta in the house yo! Watch their old school way of dancing and playing the instruments
ANIMAL MUSEUM Tired of the live animals? Proceed to this museum to check out some preserved one.
ZOOVENIR SHOP You can buy animal stuff toys, tshirts and other memorabilia
Gelato is an Italian frozen dessert, similar (and tastes like) ice cream. With our curiosity, we tried this in Gelatone in Greenbelt 3. Quite expensive for a single scoop worth Php 100 bucks but its all worth it. Because of our love in ice cream, a single scoop won't hurt. They say, Gelato has lower fat compared with the regular ice cream. Good for health conscious folks. This is one healthy ice cream just like in BTIC. So help yourself.
Whatever the version of the ice cream is, the satisfying taste that this cold treat offers is incomparable. Rain or shine, whatever the weather is, this won't stop us.
