D'BUDGETEL

If you happen to be in Cagayan de Oro here are some hotels I have stayed during my visit. Lots of hotels you can find in an internet, one of them have I chose was the Budgetel. Accommodation is good in general, attendants and the front desk officers are very well accommodating, they have wide visitor's lounge area, a strong WI-FI at cafeteria and a well secured entrance and perimeter. They have to check your baggage upon entry after you have registered your bookings, slightly hustle but for safety reason this is good.

A wide parking area offered to those who have vehicles

They offer also backpackers accommodation, a recommendation for a budget travelers and those who have only to be stayed overnight.

NEW DAWN PENSIONNE

A storey building located along the street of Velez in front of Caltex gasoline station. A well maintain building serve with both elevator and stairs. Accessible to the most establishments, mall, park, school and churches. Amenities is not a problem, they have serve food upon orders, cafeteria along its side. They have also wi-fi in the lobby area and a 24/7 security to safe guard the guests.

I rated this accommodation quite pricey for a budget travelers, cheaper than class "A", not a five star accommodation but if you travel with your family you can get a comfortability for the cost you paid for or a group of three for a shared room is an ideal for this.

INASAL

This is often widely offered anywhere in the Philippines, But Cagayan de oro have their own version of grilled or barbeque chicken... Inasal (A grilled chicken in a stick) is an authentic dish from visayan part of the Philippines. Ilo-ilo, Bacolod and Cebu have their own different style and taste but in general it taste so good. It is usually paired with pickled young papaya and rice, with soy sauce mix with calamansi and chili as optional if you want it spicy.

Adobong kangkong, a Filipino authentic dish that usually seen in our table, during lunch and dinner.

Actually there are different kinds on how to make this dish be tasty, some are mixed with young coconut milk to make it more tasty, in this restaurant they offered typical kind of Kinilaw, that made our lunch complete.
