The only shabu-shabu dining place in Gensan is at Meilih Restaurant!

I have tasted a lot of shabu-shabu in different restaurants around the country, but the best so far is at Meilih Restaurant at Phela Grande Hotel in General Santos City! And it is the only dining place in the city that offers shabu-shabu.

While I was in GenSan with the S3X Tour Tres ( Soccsksargen EXperience Tour) organizer Avel Manasala of  GenSantos.com   with the teamed up of Ganda Ever So Much, me and along with the bloggers who participated were lucky enough to taste one of GenSan’s best shabu-shabu.

Not only that, the dishes that was served was exceptional. There were two types of shabu-shabu that was served, the regular and the hot one. I opted for the hot one, OMG it was delectable a must try if you pass by Gensan. And the best of all is their stuffed cookies with shrimp and quail eggs.

Thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Charles & Helen Angderson for our dinner.

2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit in GenSan a success!

Last week end I was in General Santos City to attend the 2nd Mindanao Bloggers Summit with this years theme Mindanawon Paminawon Intawon:Blogging the Mindanao Consciousness!



I arrived at the venue and there are a lot of bloggers already present, they were already cuing up to be registered. And their registration is done through computer, very high tech! The participants are more than hundred. The program started real smoothly at around 9:30 a.m. and the convention hall was already full. Bloggers from as far as Zamboanga, Iligan, Cagayan de Oro, Butuan and of course Davao City which came in droves. I came from Digos and got to know one other blogger from my place at the event.

More on the article after the jump! Click read more below.




The event was hosted by Migz and Joana, they hosted the event like a pro.



And what is a Blogger event in Mindanao without Bloggie? It would be very boring since he is the one who initiated the first Mindanao Bloggers Summit last year which I also attended.



This years host is GenSan and the man behind it all is no other than Avel of Bariles Republic. The event is on big success because of him an his the tremendous effort to make his event a success.



Their are lots of freebies this year and they have more volunters that contributed to the success and we are very thankful that there are still a lot of them at the event.
