Back in Central Luzon

Part 33 of a series
DAY 4

After a lon and tiring drive from Ilocandia, we finally arrived in Central Luzon and we continued to travel straight home to Laguna.

3:34pm. The modern Town Hall of Moncada, Tarlac.

3:51pm. The marker of Gerona, Tarlac

3:52pm. Isdaan, Tarlac.

Isdaan is a popular restaurant in Gerona, Tarlac.

Anton Diaz says,

A lot of people are intimidated to stop by this place because of its cheesy childish design with stone giants. But here is a tip for you, this is the best place to stop over before driving back to Manila after that Baguio or Pagudpud trip. In the past, Hacienda Luisita was my favorite place for that last dinner stop before NLEX but now it is merely a Starbucks stop.

Exotic and authentic Filipino Food?
Where else….
Visit Isdaan in Gerona, Tarlac

This place is Highly recomended to Balikbayans of the Tarlac Province.
For folks travelling North of Luzon, it is a must thing to do… Experience the ambience and hospitality at ISDAAN, a floating restaurant in Gerona. Along land mark the Highway 54.

Isdaan offers specialties from red meat to white meat, as well as exotic authentic regional Pinoy dishes that include a lot of Buho (bamboo) Cooking-Sinigang and Gata sa Buho. There’s “inapoy”, (rice in Ilokano), Stuffed Native Rice Rolls, Lumpiang Bukid, “Dinerang” (char-grilled seafoods), Pancit by the Kilo and Tempurang Bukid.

Breakfast is also being served, the most popular menu is the “Fiesta ng Ebun” (“ebun” is Kapampangan for “egg”) with black rice (sauce of adobong pusit mixed with rice and salted fish).
