One delicious afternoon at Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo
Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo recently opened it's swimming pool and gym &fitness center plus it's Pool Bar - all located on the 2nd level balcony of the hotel.
It was an afternoon not only filled with splashes and pool rendezvous but also one filled with traditional summer comfort food the hotel can offers its guests.
The hotel's in-house restaurant ANI, served some of its delectable specialties complementing that one enjoyable afternoon spent in the cool waters at Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo.
For starters, welcoming us was the very refreshing Ani Signature Iced Tea (PhP180). A combo of the best tea and sweetest mangoes perfectly blended for that deliciously thirst-quenching drink.
And we started our munch with my personal favorite - Shoestring Fries (PhP175). Just off the fryers and unto the table, these thinly sliced and lightly potatoes and yams not only whet my appetite but also reminded me of my gluttony for these fries during the hotel's opening - lol.
On a slightly heavier foodnote came the Cheese Batons (PhP250) which are deep-fried fried and breaded mozzarella cheese sticks that came with tomato pepper jelly dip.
I mistook these Flat Breads (PhP220) for pizza and you can't blame me. With herbed cherry tomatoes, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses on top of foccacia bread - all baked, it was that Italian specialty from afar.
Now comes the heaviest of them all - the Cubano Sandwich (PhP350). This sandwich from Cuba, is a variation of a ham and cheese sandwich that originated among the Cuban workers in the cigar factories in Key West, Florida and was later popularized in Miami in the 1940s.- Wikipedia
It is composed of grilled cheese, Cuban roast pork, sweet ham and Dill pickles - all sandwiched between two pressed crusty breads.
And we had desserts too! First was the Turbo Chiffon Cake with Mango Cream Icing (PhP250) which was a microwave cake with a rhum syrup served ala mode.
But my favorite was Vanilla Ice Cream with Brownie Crisps (PhP190) - given that the ice cream flavor is my all-time fave and the brownie crisps were just heavenly.
We also had their version of Milo Dinosaur (PhP140) (part of the Kid's menu) which is your favorite malt drink blended with condensed milk and vanilla ice cream (with water of course) and topped with more Milo! Beat that energy gap!
But my ultimate fave and yes, I saved the best for last - Halo-Halo Milkshake aka Crazy Shake (PhP230)! It's prepared like halo-halo with all the fruits, gelatin, and other fixin's filling the glass and instead of crushed ice-milk-sugar combo, you get a vanilla milk shake!
It is finally topped with (more) vanilla ice cream, pinipig, panucha and butong-butong (tira-tira) giving it a delicious-looking and IG-worthy final look!

Indeed, it was a splashingly enjoyable afternoon - from the cool and enjoyable waters of the pool to the yummy offerings that greatly reduced out abs (if any)!
These are and more offering are available at ANI All-day dining restaurant, Lobby Lounge and at the Pool Bar at Park Inn by Radisson Iloilo.
