Destination is Antipolo with no specific restaurant in mind. We just want one with a view. So the journey started… it was supposed to be a thirty-minute drive but has turned into a two-hour restaurant hunt.
Entered Antipolo City on the GPS and ended up at the city center. A lady on the side of the road waiting for a ride told us that the restaurants overlooking Manila are in Sumulong Highway next to Robinson’s Mall. We drove and found Robinson’s Mall but did not see the restaurants -- so we turned around. Then we asked a traffic enforcer. He said there’s one out there.. pointing to the direction... “um, but I think it’s a resort. I don’t think they serve food and I’m not sure if they are open.” Funny!
We continued driving, we passed by the same church twice, by the same gasoline station three times. Then we asked a tricycle driver. He gave us directions which unfortunately did not lead us to the place we were looking for.
So back to square 1.
We stopped by another tricycle driver. He said, “ this is not the shortest, but the simplest to follow.” Just drive straight, where it ends turn left, then another dead-end turn right, another dead-end turn left. Voila, we were in Sumulong Highway. There’s Padi’s Point on the left and Cloud 9 on the right. We drove to Cloud 9 which is perched on a hilltop overlooking Manila.
On the table… sinigang na hipon, kare-kare, pork sisig, tokwa't baboy and pinakbet
