HOW TO GET THERE
By Private Car
Take the South Luzon Expressway and turn right
at Exit 50. The sign is the Batangas, Lucena
exit but this is also known as the Calamba exit,
which is the final exit or the end of SLEX. Upon
reaching the exit, the road is already Maharlika
Highway. Follow this road. You will pass through
the towns of Sto. Tomas, Alaminos, San Pablo
City, Tiaong, Candelaria, Sariaya, Tayabas and
then Lucena, the capital city of Quezon
province.
Arches welcome travelers upon entering these
towns. Continue driving until you reach the
Gulang Gulang Junction in Lucena which is along
Maharlika Highway. Upon reaching the junction,
turn left. Approximately 15 kilometers from the
junction, you’ll see the Palaisdaan Restaurant
on the left side of the road.
By Bus
Take a bus bound for Lucena City. The Lucena
Grand Central Terminal is the end point of all
Lucena-bound buses. It is the transport hub of
the province. Jeeps, buses, mini-buses and vans
leading to all towns of Quezon are in the
terminal. From the terminal, take a jeep going
to Lucban and tell the driver do drop you off at
Palaisdaan Restaurant in Dapdap, Tayabas.

from
the poultry business,” shared de los
Santos. Because Eto and Luming always
tended their fishpond, they were able to
raise good quality hito (catfish) and
tilapia. Friends and guests would buy
fish and request Luming to whip up a
delicious dish. Her specialty is sinugno
(grilled and cooked in coconut milk).

our restaurant. Everybody loved my mother’s
cooking,” he added. Thus, Palaisdaan Restaurant
was born became a destination for tourists as
well especially during summer. Sadly, Eto and
Luming passed away in 2004 but their culinary
legacy remains. Under the stewardship of their
youngest son Rene and his wife Rose who is in
charge of operations, the |
