Road Trip and Food Trip @ Liliw, Laguna

-20120122-

Are you fond of shoes, sandals, and slippers? Wishing to have lots of them at a very cheap price? The place to be aside from Marikina is at Liliw -- a town well-known to be the shoe capital of Laguna.

My family decided to go on a road trip and spend the long weekend at Liliw, Laguna. We left our house at 7:30AM and was on the road for about 4 hours. It was sort of a long drive going to Liliw since we were not familiar with the place, it was all our first time there. Since it was already 11:30AM when we arrived at Liliw we decided to have lunch first. We dined at Arabela, a famous restaurant for tourists who are visiting this town. Arabela is known for its delicious pasta and pizza. Food is definitely good, and it they are all affordable.

Based on research, this restaurant was named after Ara and Bela, daughters of Bobby and Tonet Camello :) My sister and her kids ordered for Marinara, Baked Macaroni, and Mashed Potato.

Mashed Potato

Marinara - Php85.00

Baked Macaroni - Php80.00

My mom, cousin, and I ordered for Baby Back Beef, T-bone Steak, Baked Lasagna, and Grilled Fish in Caponata Sauce.

Baby Back Beef - Php230.00

T-bone Steak - Php260.00

Baked Lasagna - Php95.00

Grilled Fish in Caponata Sauce - Php200.00

 For desert we had Strawberry Shake and Tiramisu Cake :) 

Tiramisu - Php85.00

Strawberry Shake

  

After eating lunch, we immediately went shoes/sandals/slippers shopping. Everyone was so amazed to see a number of stores selling cheap footwear. But of course, I wasn't able to buy any because none fitted my "taste" and style. Afterwards, we headed to Lilio Church now known as Liliw Church. 

Since I had a Katy Perry concert to attend, I had to drive back to Manila after visiting the church. It was a two and a half hours trip going back to Alabang. My trip to Liliw, Laguna was short but fun. Definitely, I'll be going back to see more of this place! :)

Other things to do when in this area: tour around Nagcarlan, try the famous pancit lucban, visit Pagsanjan Falls.
