Traditional Food
If you are new to the country, then you would certainly find a lot of weird looking food around. For example, a Filipino’s most favorite is called the ‘dinuguan’.

Anyway, at Sampaguita Beach Resort, you will have plenty of opportunities to try some Filipino and local dishes which are actually not difficult for most foreign guest to try for the first time.

Italian Pastas
