Happy 4th of July Brother C!

We love eating at this restaurant; always good food.

If you ever make it to Kalibo; let us know. Salamat for subscribing.

Wow! Thank you Franco! I know if you visit Aklan, you will enjoy its natural beauty and the people. Some of the friendliest people in the Philippines. Tourism is the province main industry because of Boracay Island. Aklan province has a population of around 600,000 people in its 17 municipalities (towns). Around 100k living in the province capital of Kalibo. Aklan is one of the few provinces in the Philippines that does not have a city. If small town living is what you are looking for; Aklan is for you.

Thank you our brother. Take care and God bless.

Good deals to be had at the thrift stores here; I buy all my board shorts at the ukay-ukay.

You will like Matzip; their food is delicious! :)

One of our favourite place to eat in Kalibo. Even celebrated my birthday at Matzip before; plan on doing again this year.

We plan on visiting Korea; on our bucket list. Dazel a big fan of Korean drama. Thank you for supporting our channel! Take care my friend!

Haha...perfect timing on your "smell-o-vision". :) Dazel really tries hard on using chopsticks; she really wants to learn how to use them.

Matzip changes their side dishes daily; except for the cabbage kimchi (that’s a regular).

Thank you for supporting our channel.

The owner of Matzip, Korean gentleman, is super nice too! He actually cooked for us one time when we first started going. He showed us the proper way to cook the meats. More Koreans are moving in Aklan province; opening businesses in Boracay and Kalibo. There are direct flights from Korea to Kalibo daily. Koreans are now the number one foreign tourist arrivals in Aklan province.

@@dazeltv1351 Wow, that is amazing. My best friend growing up is a Korean-American. His name is David. He is now living in Seoul. But, he grew up with me in LA. Bro G, you and Dazel have so much in Aklan. Including Korean food..... ! I am going to check out Aklan as a place to retire. California is way too expensive. Many blessings, Bro G and Dazel. Let's give thanks for our many blessings....

@@rosstrade I think you would enjoy retirement in Aklan province Brother C. And yes; so much blessings to be thankful for. Dazel and I are grateful each day for the life we get to live together.

@@dazeltv1351 Thank you, Brother G. I am going to check out Aklan and a few other places to determine the best place to settle. It helps that Aklan is planning to build a medical center there.

@@rosstrade Brother C, I did the same thing a year before I moved here. I was able to narrow my choices between Boracay and Baguio. There are so many areas to choose from in the Philippines; it really just comes down to your lifestyle preference. Asia Pacific Medical Center Aklan Inc has a Facebook page. I’ve been following the hospital’s build progress; they will open in 2023. You can see on their page that this will be a top-notch hospital. They already started taking applications for hospital employees.

We had a nice Thai restaurant in Kalibo before the pandemic; didn’t survive. There is an outdoor night-time food park that recently opened and one of the booths is Thai food. We will check it out soon. It’s been so long since we ate Thai food.

Dazel agrees; metal chopsticks are a pain to use. We love eating at Matzip. Take care our friend.

Bamboo furniture is common in Aklan province; not only in restaurants but people furnish their homes with bamboo furniture. That’s what we like about the restaurants in Kalibo; good food at reasonable prices. They actually just opened two outdoor food parks in Kalibo that serve a variety of international food in food kiosk; we will be vlogging them soon.

It really is a good deal for $7!

I will try the next time we eat at Matzip! 😀
