The best parts of a road trip are those that are not contained in a plan.
Traveling along Tarlac at past noon, the most natural thing to do was find a place to eat before we hit SCTEX, because the only choices that would be available by then would be fastfood restaurants lined along NLEX, which is not bad really. But if you have eaten in one McDo or Chowking anywhere in the Philippines, you wouldn't experience anything new eating in another, except perhaps giving you the lame claim that you have ordered this and this, in so-and-so branch of so-and-so fastfood restaurant.
When we reached the sleepy town of Gerona, to our right was a sprawling compound with enormous water-spouting fish statues that seemed to be beaconing us to stop and drop by. So we did. The place was called, appropriately enough, Isdaan.
