I have a backlog of drafts from various trips last year. I wanted to finish and post this one before another probably trip to Bicol this year. One draft stood out among the restaurant and cafe write-ups - the one on Bob Marlin in Naga City. We were invited for a late lunch by our hosts and they took us to the restaurant for a hearty meal and lots of kwento. Nothing serious or business, mostly about life and everyday things. Its good to have these conversations over a meal with people we work with who we consider as friends.

| Bob Marlin is one of the more popular restaurants in Naga City. Many customers are groups (families, friends, officemates, etc.). |
 |
| The inspiration for the restaurant's name is none other than the artist himself. They have a cafe bearing his likeness. |
 |
| The waiting area includes an old rocking chair, a bicycle and some vintage posters. |
 |
| Sinigang na salmon |
 |
| Their take on the Pinakbet of Ilocos |
 |
| Grilled cuttlefish (more commonly called grilled squid) |
 |
| Tangigue steak |
We had a great meal and look forward to the next one there. We have a continuing cooperative work with the city so there's sure to be one or more trips to Naga this year. A tip though to consider going there early or late for lunch. The place gets quite crowded during the lunch period. I assume its the same for dinner time.
