to end the Naga series, i recommend you two restaurant if you are into good food with good ambiance. first is the Red Platter along Magsaysay road. they have the famous Bicol express and Pinangat combination special. 
i highly recommend this combo. you place the bicol express on top of the pinangat and it taste really really good. you can do this even with the ones that you buy in the market.
Red Platter also offers cakes and pastries as desert. thanks to our friend Sue for giving as discount here plus a discount card once we come back.
at night we were treated by our friends from Coca Cola Naga Plant to Avenue Square along Magsaysay road. the name is Taste of Asia and they ordered some typical Filipino food like the Crispy Pata and a large serving of Tuna Panga.
before going there, we already ate heavy merienda but when we saw this meal, we simply can’t resist. thanks to sir Angel and the Coca Cola staff of Naga for the food and the tour around Naga City.
Magsaysay road is Naga’s night hub with restaurants lining up along this road. Coffee shops and restaurants light up this side of Naga. for online addicts, almost all the restaurants here offers free Wi-Fi.
before going home, don’t forget to bring home Bicol’s favorite pasalubong, Pili nuts. now being sold in different variance like honey dipped, caramel coated or simply roasted. 
this ends the Naga series and thanks to Lingkod Makati, Alabang and Marikina for joining and supporting this trip.

Those are lovely places. I like the nice and homey interior of Red Platter.
Taste Asia has a posh touch to it. Hope you enjoyed your dinner.
I love pili nuts. We have a friend from Bicol who sends us pili nuts. I like the sweet coated ones.
ang linis parang sa 5 star hotel. Siguradong masarap siguro ang pagkain. ask ko lang -anong class naman ang mga taong kumakain dyan?
I love the floor tiles and decor in the first restaurant! It looks very Chinese.
sarap ng food... sa crispy pata palang solve na ako... kakagutom..
i did not see red platter when i went to naga, too bad.
pili yan ang paborito ko...gusto ko din yung bunga nyan,yung buto ang hirap buksan..tapos yung balat na kulay talong ginugulay nila lolo yan at ginagataan..ewan ko lang ngayon kung ginagawa pa yun ngayon,maliit pa kasi ako nung nakapunta sa legaspi city.
the 1st place looks really nice! i love places with great flooring! haha. nice pics on your most recent eskapo, kuya dong!
Pinangat yung isda di ba? Im not much of hot foods pero cge try ko yan pag may chance! great interior photos...looks cozy!
In the first few photos, I love the colorful patterns on the floor and on the cabinets.
:D

Thank you for these beautiful photos and information, Dong. That cafe looked very cosy and comfortable and I would love to relax and have some food there. Have a nice weekend.
pwede palang bicol express over pinangat. i have only tasted the latter from a roadside stop at Camalig where the dish is specifically famous.
okay din yung packaging ng pasalubong nila. at least, it has improved compared to the usual ones that are so plain looking.
ang sossy ng mga restaurant ha may libreng wifi...ang daming kong namiss sa mga post mo kaya balik muna ako magbasa...heh
looking forward sa boracay trip mo..
I haven't been to any part of Bicol region, but seeing these photos make me really want to go! ;)
Ingats kaw sa byahe!
This is a very pretty and nicely set-up shop. So modern!
I'd like to see all those beautiful places. I should go round all the day!
ang gara ng mga resto sa naga ah!
wow really really nice place =)
ayos dom. i will surely check these places pag pumunta ko doon. maybe sa penafrancia next year. ingat sa biyahe lagi.
Thanks for blogging about Naga City. It's my homeplace. I went home for the holiday and I chanced to dine at Red Platter in their new place (used to be situated downtown of Naga)
