I think a part of growing older really is hating loud noises. I remember a few yrs back I would scour the bars at night jumping from one to the other looking for the best happy hour deals while dancing my heart away. But now, all I wanted was to drink in my hotel room and be cozy with my blanket, lol. Anyway I brought that up because that's how I discovered this new restaurant I'll be sharing. 

So because food was my main priority when I went to Boracay, I spent most of my time on Trip Advisor looking for new/old restaurants to try. Some of the ones listed were really pricey so I decided to go for a moderately priced place which led me to Nalka. We were checked-in at Station 2 so I didn't see it while I was going around because it's on the far end of Station 1. 

Service was also relatively fast. There was no one in sight of our dining area but for some reason whenever we're ready to order, someone would appear. The waitress would also come to us every now and then to check if we already wanted to order. During our visit, we were the only diners which was quite surprising because the food was great. That's when we were told the promo is relatively new so I'm spreading the word so you guys don't miss out!

I was in Boracay over a month ago and while I have a barrage of complaints over the "new Boracay", I don't think this is the proper avenue. Follow me on twitter instead for the tea, lol. Anyway, for this series I don't think I'll be able to share anything budget-friendly because most of the restaurants we've tried had a pretty steep price tag. So I think, this series will just be all about the best bang for your buck since you'll be spending. While there are cheaper options like Mang Inasal, Andoks, etc. I just feel that we already have enough of those here you probably won't be looking forward to them in Boracay. 

So let's get it on with our first pick--Station X! Discovered this through a friend and we also passed by it. We also kept seeing it in AirBnbs ie location is near Station X and we were wondering if it's a new station added after the rehabilitation lol. Station X is an amazing place for foodies because it is conveniently located at Hue Hotels, which by the way offers a day package so you can make use of their amenities. What caught my eye was Streetmarket because it looked like an extremely posh food court I probably wouldn't walk in if I were in Manila lol. But there weren't a lot of people so I figured I'd give it a try. 

THE PLACE

Station X's Streetmarket offers a wide variety of cuisines from Japanese to Italian to Filipino. The ordering system is also organized because you can just order at the stall of your choice and they'll have it delivered to your table hence not being limited to just one cuisine--very helpful for those who usually have picky eaters as companions. Service was also relatively fast and everything is conveniently delivered to your table. The place is also spacious if you're dining with a big group and they have really decent bathrooms.
