Arabela, Camello Bakeshop and Coffee shop, Liliw, Laguna










This popular and well-loved restaurant needs no further introduction as anyone can't miss it once you are in the quaint town of the slippers aka Liliw, Laguna.

Arabela was named after Ara and Bela- the two daughters of Bobby and Tonet Camello. Their foods are superb and even the classier Italianni's in Greenbelt can be surpassed. Not only that, their menus are quite affordable. I have always wanted to taste the famous Baked Mac but I always missed it everytime I am there. Last Sunday, I went there and had the chance to taste the Beef Lasagna. OMG!!! It's superbly divine. You can even see bits of bacon in it topped with the mozarella cheese! Infact, I had ordered an extra one- take out for my one and only bro- Glenn Angelo, who shares the same passion for pasta like his big sis. ;P

My first visit here in Liliw was last Holy Thursday when I had my first out of town visita iglesia. I opted for the Laguna Loop. I welcome the idea as I wanted to see the old churches of Laguna.

As I was observing around to familiarize myself, I walked to an alley, left side of the Policarpio's white ancestral abode. Further at the end, you will see a cute, cozy, low-ceiling restaurant which is always occupied with people. You will be surprised in one of your visits, not only locals do patronize but foreigners as well. This has a 20 seaters capacity which can provide an intimate lunch or dinner for everyone. If planning to take your dinner, please make your reservations ahead of time.
