Leila's Cafe, Vigan Ilocos Sur

Located at Gen. Luna st, Vigan Ilocos Sur, Leila's Cafe is one of the newest establishment in the area.  First time I saw the place, I fell in love.  Interiors are quaint, quite lovely and cozy. We all ordered their coffee concoctions.  My cousin ordered their best seller longga crepe and since I'm sort of on a diet, I ordered their spicy tuna crepe - which unfortunately they forgot to make.  I try to understand them... it's Holy Week and it's pretty crazy in Vigan, but still good service always matters.   I cancelled my order and told them that next time please be mindful of the orders of their customers, they're polite enough and sincerely apologized.  On my next trip to Vigan, hopefully not holy week, I will go back there and try their menu, let's see if it'sworth going back to. 

Sweets Are My Fancies

No matter how currently big I am, I can't seem to skip my sweets.  They're just constant in my lifestyle.

Calle Crisologo, Vigan, Ilocos Sur

Vigan is the capital city of Ilocos Sur and is the home of precious Spanish Colonial houses.  Because of the well-preserved houses built centuries ago, Vigan is one of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.  In Vigan you will find Calle Crisologo, where the picturesque Spanish Colonial Houses stand side by side. It's a camera-worth taking. 
Along Calle Crisologo you will discover goodies and stuff that will definitely be giddy about, browse through and see things you might like!
