I’ve been seeing the construction of “Isdaan” for the past year
and have always wondered what’s taking it so long. So when my mom dined with
her friends there and said she’s going to take the family there, I knew it’s
something that I couldn’t miss.
We arrived at nearly six in the evening and were lucky enough to
have a parking space as soon as we arrived. We thought we’re not going to be
accommodated because it’s the long weekend after all. It’s a good thing that we
came early for dinner that we got a table, more like our own floating hut and was able to roam around the enjoy the
place.
Warning: A photo loaded entry. I actually took 325 pictures but
chose the ones best for uploading for my readers wanting to check out the
place.
Please be informed that if you want to have dinner at Isdaan,
make sure you are not super hungry and you’re not in a hurry because it will
take time for you to get settled in your floating huts.
And also take note that it is best to find a table/floating hut
first before roaming around the place.
I love how Isdaan resto thought about practically everything
that they provided life vest for kids the moment we arrived because it can be
inevitable that these kids might fall off the floating huts or something.
Isdaan also have amenities for little children and kids
Other Attractions for the night:
Isdaan Halloween Monsters
Isdaan prepared for Halloween that made sure that there are some
roaming white lady, chained monsters in mask, ready for guests photo op. I was
actually scared of the “dead lady” because she looked really dead, I waited
from a short distance for her to open her eyes and take a peak before I asked
for her photo. I don’t want to get surprised with her opening eyes because I
might fall off board and soak the DSLR I’m using.
Tacsiyapo, means “Nakakainis”– you buy a plate/glass/mugs( with
prices like Php 15, 18, 60, 240) and even a working TV set (Php 1,800) so you
can throw it against the wall to release your anger).
Caution: Cursing or using Vulgar words are not allowed that’s
why you need to shout “Tacsiyapo”.
My friends in Grad School and I have been planning long before
that we wanted to go to Tarlac for the “smashing of the plates” but when I
found out that Isdaan in Calauan Laguna has it, it’s going to be the venue of
our usual get together and sem-starters.
They provided life vest for the guests and there are at least 3
boats around. The boatmen are very nice and if you’re wondering how deep the
water is, it’s only 3 feet! But still you wouldn’t want to fall into the water.
Statue of the late president Corazon Aquino, former President
Joseph Estrada are available for Photo Ops. We also had our pictures taken with
US President Barrack Obama and other amusing photos like the guards and
waiters.
Last but definitely not the least, The Singing Cooks and
Waiters!
