Nita's Place Eatery

One of the responsibilities of being a parent is ensuring the safety of your children.

After a day of vacation, my lovely daughters, Stephanie, Abigail and Kyna were coming back home from Camiguin Island with their Aunt Trixie.

There is only one way in and out of Camiguin and that is thought the BARGE. Unfortunately, the terminal for that is around 2 hours away from Cagayan de Oro. Trixie called the evening before to ask permission to ride the bus going back home.

As a very protective mother, i did not agree. I was afraid that anything might happen during that ride. I have fair experience and knowledge that bus drivers are not that cautious when they drive because they are confident that the people are afraid of them because they are big. Thus there are many accidents relating to the bus.

Upon meeting them at the port; my husband suggested that we eat at a good sea food restaurant that is just in the next town.

I knew that it was his favorite place to eat whenever we travel to Butuan. It's a small quaint floating restaurant called Nita's Place Eatery. It has been there since the early 1970's.

You would think that it is just an ordinary restaurant because it looks old and undeveloped... another disadvantage is it's location. It's tucked away in a small corner of a bario by the sea.

Upon arriving, you could see the full parking and cars waiting for a place to park. It was packed.
My daughters and guests stood amazed at the sight of such chaos.

fortunately, we were able to find parking quickly. We waited for a few minutes to be served and was quickly welcomed by the staff.

One good description about this place is HUMBLE. The place was nothing fancy, their utensils were ordinary and their staff didn't even have a uniform.

When the food was served, it was delectable. The soup was amazing. The flavors were alive and every sip that you take is like luxury.
All throughout the meal, we were silent. HAHA ! It's the only thing that could make our family stop talking.

After the meal, our guests could not stop singing praises about the food. It was indeed an experience worth remembering.

I invite you all to come with me to experience my side of the story! (soon i shall post pictures about this mini trip)

Enjoy life !
Live ! Laugh ! Love!
