Cavinti Laguna Story: Trying Native Cavinti Dishes at Villa Oliveros Resort

Little do people know that they is a little town in Laguna called Cavinti which has a lot of places to visit. Thus, Mayor Oliveros invited us to stay at his private place "Villa Oliveros Resort" so we can enjoy Cavinti

We got to try Cavinti's native dishes like the Pinais which has grounded shrimp with young coconut.

The Tinuto is folded gabi leaves with ginger and fish (sapsap/tuyo/dilis) in coconut milk.

I would have enjoyed it if only the fish did not have a lot of small bones.

They also served as a Kalderetang Kambing which was delicious.
