1st Colonial Grill Express — Restaurant in Daraga

Lunch like a local for our first meal in Legazpi Albay.

Filled-in our hungry tummies with authentic Bicolano dishes at 1st Colonial. The flavors of the province is distinct on its own. There is something about the spice that sets it apart from the many other local culinary flair. I loved every dish it deserves an individual rating!

🌶 🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Sili Ice Cream - priced at Php80 you can choose your own level but I'm weak enough to go for the basic. It's literally a flaming ice.

🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶/5 Pinangat - it was love at first try!

🌶 🌶🌶🌶/5 Tinapa Rice - thought of ordering plain rice but it surprisingly complements with Pinangat

Our total bill only costs Php1200. We are seated on the 2nd floor but we were accommodated well. Staff are friendly and gives honest recommendations on what to order.

It has a different heat level and other flavors to choose from. I had the sili ice cream in volcano and it hit right in my tongue! 😋

Gonna give this a 4 🍎 out of 5 on our scale!...

I only realized that my order was not given when we were already at the airport. I also remembered my brother ordered a bottle of chili bagoong and got it only when he reminded the staff about it. The food was...
