An old house turned restaurant caught my camera's eye.
After a few touch-ups from the artist and restaurant owner himself Mr. Roy Empalmado, this antique-ish house originally from Tiaong, Quezon is now what the San Pablo locals called Sulyap Gallery Cafe and Restaurant.

Of course, I didn't allow myself skip their best sellers.
Sulyap Cafe serves original Laguna dishes.

Apparently, most of the cooks are Bicolanos. Their mastery of blending spice with gata is delectably evident in San Pablo's signature dish--Kulawong. Kulawong Puso ng Saging and Kulawong Talong are worth a try.

Sulyap Art Gallery
Across the resto is a school turned museum. Since the owner is into antiques, his wide variety of vintage collections occupied the two floors of the museum already.

Tourists can also book for bed and breakfast accommodation at Casa de Obando. I haven't tried it though.
