Kusirena Cafe and Homestay

Great Thai restaurant, great food, casual friendly atmosphere. Google maps is wrong this restaurant is on the beach at Balentero- we have tried many times to update the location

***Google Maps is giving an inaccurate location. Kusirena is approximately 2.6 km West on the main road, across the street from the Calvary Baptist Bible (which IS listed correctly). I've tried to edit this page, but Google isn't accepting my fix. A friend and I stayed here for a night and absolutely loved it! The owner, Tezz, runs this place and you can tell she puts a lot of her heart into it. She has a very warm and inviting personality. The accommodations are spacious tents with a mattress, side table, electric outlets, and fan. There's a shower and toilet nearby. Mineral water is always available as well as Tezz to help with anything you need. A wonderful aspect of this is the access to the beach. You wake up right in front of it! My only regret is not being able to stay longer. In the pictures are some of the dishes we had for breakfast. The first is eggplant with egg. The second is a vegetable that I can't quite remember. The third is ginataang papaya. If you've never had ginataang papaya, STOP EVERYTHING and go find it! It's a healthy balance of green papaya, coconut milk, moringa leaves, and a meat. It's instantly risen into my top 20 favorite dishes and I could see myself eating this daily. If you want more info, her Facebook page has a good deal more resources (sorry Google, you need to step it up in the Philippines :/ ).
