That day was free and rest day, i don't have my duty in hospital pharmacy. I was very thankful to our preceptor Sir Rodel because he had a surprised visit to us. He decided to pull out us the interns during our duty time. But, before his second visit,he already made a promise that he will introduce and bring us in Roadhouse cafe, Valencia, Bukidnon. Yes! he made it.
We left the imee's lodge at 1:00 pm and went to Roadhouse cafe through riding a "motorela". It's a unique term of transportation in Bukidnon, a wide 10-sitter tricycle. It was relatively far so we paid 15 pesos each from the imee's lodge going to Roadhouse cafe.

Finally, upon entering the Roadhouse coffee, i was amused of the ambiance of western and European architecture of the restaurant. The place was quite small but enough to accommodate the customers. It was my first time, so i had my first impression that the owner of the restaurant is a European. Suddenly, i became worried about the prices of the dishes that it might be too expensive, since i only have 400 pesos in my wallet. But, it was a relief that i was with my 12 co-interns to have a late lunch there. i can borrow to them an extra money, in case. LOL. The waiters and staff were very accommodating. They find us seats and tables which are more comfortable for us.

Our preceptor was the boss, so he chose the right dishes for us. He ordered 4 different kinds of dishes that all really looks delicious. The dishes were served after 20 minutes. Not too long for waiting. My mouth started to drool, and had a big excitement to eat the super inviting and delicious-looking food. Before i grabbed the foods i was curious on the names of the dishes, so i asked our preceptor. The beef with corn at the side was a sizzling pochero or sizzling bulalo beef, mixed vegetables poured in a bowl-like fried lumpia, chopsuey and sweet and spicy chicken. The rice was served separately. Their sizzling pochero really tastes good especially its sauce is really mouth-watery and the meat was tender and sweet. It's the best pochero i've ever tasted. It is good for 3 to 4 person and cost 500 pesos per serving. The mixed vegetables consist of different vegetables-a chopsuey-style but it is little bit dry where placed on a bowl-like fried lumpia that can also be eaten. It was garnished with cabbage and carrots at the side. The sweet and spicy chicken was awesome because i really love spicy food and surrounded with cheese- double yummy!
It was a sumptuous and mouth-watering foods. Even though the ambiance was in westernized style but their foods are truly in pinoy food taste and originated in Bukidnon. I really enjoyed the meal. The cost was not really too expensive. I only paid 233 pesos. the place was decorated well, It's like we are in a western world and it's clean as well.
