Enjoy your lunch at the Labasin Waterfall Restaurant
The Labasin Waterfall Restaurant is one of the center-pieces of Villa Escudero. You will get to experience eating and enjoying a traditional Filipino buffet lunch with no spoon and fork, it is most commonly known as kamayan style. You get to relaxed while eating by soaking your feet in running water of the famous man-made falls.
Just a reminder to be more careful because some portions are slippery because of the naturally growing moss. There are reminders too that you can see along the restaurant.

Watch the Cultural Show
The show will definitely make you reminisce your elementray lessons about folk dance.
The dancers are the people working at Villa Escudero and living there. I am sure you will enjoy the show. Especially the balikbayans and foreigners.
You can immediately head here after taking your buffet lunch at the falls because the seats are easily filled-up by the guests.

ReplyDeleteA significant number of these engineers, while are acceptable being developed, see the speedy buck in the rental market, they become manor administrators. It isn't advanced science to contrast an engineer business and that of the assistance business and to see that the two are totally unrelated. So while there is no mischief in an estate designer leasing their villas it is best that they utilize a manor the board organization to really focus on this market. luxury villas in bangalore
