Charlie’s Steakhouse is YCL’s Restaurant and Bar that you should not missed when going at Boracay , Once you experience and taste the foods being prepared on this place ,you cannot just ignore and will surely just make it a part of your journey from day 1 and for the succeeding  days you will stay.

This is the American Breakfast of course with the finest local brewed coffee  ,A big slice of Ham and Bacon with two pcs. of sunny side up eggs with   3 slices of freshly baked  whole wheat bread, coupled with butter and jam.,which I have  and  is one of the perks when you get an Overnight stay here with YCL Hotel. Most of their servings are almost good for 2 which no other resto had in Boracay.

Most of the guests specially the foreigners are contented and did not bother to come out of other place to dined in because of its cozy and awesome place to gather as if they are in their known brand resto’s and bars
  .Because this place has a  themed  which so happened to be like other known brands  because the owner of the place is a musical enthusiast, musical instrument players, former  lead musician during their youthful memories.

Buffalo Wings N’ Things

A week ago we have gone to this place and know for the fact that Buffalo wings are created by a mom in the USA who needs to give her visitors a food to eat and it so happened that chicken wings are the only left food to cook in the fridge.
For those who love spicy foods this is the one kind of experience that they should have tried and tasted.

They prepared the kind of spiciness that you would prefer to have , In fact one of the spiciest sauces menu needs a waiver to be signed in by the one who will eat and order for such viand.
           
                
For the on line bloggers who are with us here are the menus and food the we have tasted and  review about . to mention their mini burgers that is so tempting , the Nachos, fries, pita’s and sweet desserts.

An Affordable yet Exquisite Seafood Hub for the Family, Holy Crab

Nowadays, you cannot see a Restaurant who gives good kind of foods Class A , A good and affordable price and its kind of Asian cooking  specially when it talks about sea foods and talking about the ambience of the place you don’t have to go swimming to have this kind of experience with  family and love one’s. This place does not promotes hard drinking session because they want it to be a family and relationship oriented place.
Mr.   Peter Tajon , one of the Master mind and owner of this company has the original concept and actually is a Surfer and is a Food Specialist , Marketing Consultant and a Businessman do believe that giving the customers the best that we can have should be the first thing that should be delivered before attaining profit and success. And this is one of his passion even before settling for a marriage relationship.

  
A seafood mixed with crab , shrimp, mussel squid ect,  Sinangag with Tinapa  , Tofu with Fish

          Local Sisig  (Chicken or Pork or Seafood ) King Crab Menu

Chicken Crispies

Class A tiger Shrimp 

Class A Local Mussels

A Home made Ice Cream

All of this  Sea food  can be in different types of cooking such as Holy Carramba, Bali Coco and Garlicky Lime. And with this 3 types comes 3 kinds of  Hor  limits such as Wimpy, Hot and Wild.

We as a group enjoyed our foods here and has satisfactorily approved the quality of freshness and its kind of preparations it has for the kind of kicks and  almost same as our Asian counterparts.Though I want to try the wild one because I’s a spicy eater, yet  I should go with my spicy eating friends one time for us to taste their kind of menu. I am much more amazed on how they have given it in a very friendly price, imagined for example a Class A  Tiger Shrimp is only 400++/ lb , and  as being presented for other recipes from P299 up to P800 / serving/ lb.
