Silangang Nayon in Pagbilao, Quezon

A day out for Tutubi is not complete sans the usual sidetrip to a new place, to explore interesting sights and visit refreshing spots to refresh his spirit. After a trip to a bank in Lucena City, just opposite Panciteria Granja and near Buddy's Restaurant, he went out to a place mentioned by his new acquaintance as a nice place jutting out of Pagbilao bay.

Hurrying to the place due to excite since it was still early in the afternoon, his effort to get there turned out alright with the sun-bathed sand near a beach though not really fit for swimming but just lounging at the huts on stilts.



first look at the restaurant houses on stilts with a long foot bridge



the foot bridge looks daunting from afar but actually sturdy when you get there


your order will be delivered using an "airplane" suspended on a cable, sort of a zipline delivery


below the huts on stilts are oysters grown by the restaurant for their own consumption making them the freshest there is for the customers



the largest hut is shaped like a ship ready to sail out to Pagbilao Bay, Tayabas Bay and beyond


you can admire the place from above the cliff with a view of Pagbilao bay, Pagbilao Power PLant, Pagbilao Grande Island and Patayan Island with visible white sand beaches from afar



A bottle of San Mig Lite (low calorie pale pilsen) costs P45.00 each, quite cheap for the ambiance of the place jutting out of Pagbilao



steamed capiz in oyster sauce complemented the cold san mig light. Cost is P165.00 good enough for the three of them



How would Tutubi review Silangang Nayon? It's Tutubi's first and only visit there and he ordered just a round of beer and the steamed capiz. The orders came fast, probably because there were only two groups of visitors there. Prices are ok, quite cheap actually for a place with nice ambiance. Tutubi intends to return to the place someday.

Silangang Nayon has hotel rooms available for overnight accomodations, something Tutubi intends to try someday since the place is really relaxing and probably use as a base to explore other interesting places in Pagbilao.
