🤗 EatMyBananas.com Is One Of The Top 50 Filipino Food Websites To Follow In 2023 On Feedspot.com 😍

Astoria Palawan here I come! 😊 Yes, that was me some two weeks ago.

After waiting for a couple of months, I was finally off to Astoria, Palawan … excited and all. 😁

For starters, it was my first time staying in Palawan for a couple of days.

When I used to fly there as a flight attendant, there was never a chance to go beyond the airport.

So, you can imagine how excited I was. 🤗

There was another reason for me to be the reason.

I was going to meet some people I have been working with remotely.

It was going to be my first time meeting them and I was very excited.

Astoria Palawan Menu For Their Breakfast Buffet

Since our website is all about food, let’s first talk about the breakfast buffet of Astoria, Palawan.

The breakfast buffet is usually one of the first things I’m curious about when I stay in a hotel.

Not that I wake up early all the time for it, but it just always makes me wonder what they serve.

Let’s face it, it’s always nice to start the day right with some yummy food. 😃

Since my trip was more of a company activity, I was only able to enjoy the buffet toward the end of my stay.

Simply because I was not able to get up that early for the buffet.

There were a couple of inspirational training and seminars planned out for us every morning.

We had to be in the dome (kinda like a function room) at 9 AM sharp. (kinda sharp 😊)

Nonetheless, there was no reason for me to regret missing the breakfast buffet since we were served some yummy snacks during the training.

So, that’s one good reason for you to hold some corporate events in Astoria, Palawan.

The training and seminars planned out for us were all worth it.

We got to meet amazing people who shared their inspirational stories with us.

Guess what? 😲 We were lucky enough to have the Eruption to host our three-day event.

Eruption kept the energy up. His story was pretty inspiring as well. He and his lovely wife are an awesome team. 👍 👍 👍

So, if you’re looking for a great host for your corporate event, I highly recommend Eruption.

Not a single moment of boredom with Eruption in the house. A great host and an awesome guy. Super, super down-to-earth.

When I finally got the chance to enjoy the buffet, I was not disappointed at all. I thought it wasn’t bad at all. As a matter of fact, it was pretty good.

How To Get To Astoria Palawan

From the airport, it takes a couple of hours to get to Astoria, Palawan.

Out of Manila, I flew Cebu Pacific. It was a smooth flight until we attempted to land for the first time.

Yes, there was a second time since we did a misapproach on the first attempt to land in Palawan.

Despite my years of flying, I was terrified. 😨

It was pretty cloudy in Palawan at that time. As a matter of fact, it rained the entire time we were there.

However, that did not dampen our Palawan event.

The group of people I was with was just too amazing.

They made the event so worth it, rain or shine.

Back to my flight out of Manila. 😊

Thanks to our highly skilled flight deck of Cebu Pacific (5J 635, Nov. 17), we were able to land safely.

However, we were delayed about two hours since the amazing pilots of 5J decided to hold over Palawan after the first attempt to land.

Speaking of the first attempt to land, it was totally unforgettable.😨

Needless to say, it was my first time experiencing something like it despite my years of flying.

Here’s what happened on the first attempt to land.

The landing gears were already down and we were all set to touchdown.

We started to descend. So, I expected to touchdown but we didn’t. 😨

What happened next was something else.

Instead of touching down, the aircraft did an immediate climb.

There was a sudden pull-up of the aircraft and I felt it … really felt it.

As a matter of fact, everybody in the aircraft felt it. 😨😨😨

The misapproach was obviously caused by rainy weather.

Fortunately, the skilled pilots of 5J decided to hold over Palawan.

According to my husband, who is also a pilot, the flight deck did the right thing.

He also told me that it was something not worth worrying about since all pilots are trained for the kind of situation. 🤔

Easy for him to say … he wasn’t on the flight. 😊

Nonetheless, I commend the flight deck crew of 5J for landing the plane safely. 👍👍👍

As I mentioned previously, it took about 2 hours to get to Astoria, Palawan.

I was fetched by the hotel van, driven by a great guy named Dexter.

Despite the fact that he told me I had to wait for another four hours to get to the hotel, I was not pissed at all.

He brought me to an arcade right in front of the airport.

There, I waited until his next set of guests arrived.

I recommend you drop by this arcade. You can get some nice pearls, enjoy some Korean food, and have some coffee.

Kimchi ramen
This kimchi ramen was pretty good but most of all, very affordable.

After having some ramen, you can have some coffee here.

It’s a good waiting place with a clean bathroom. 👍

After about 4 hours, I was on my way to the hotel. The trip to the hotel was another two hours but it was worth it. 😊
