Sulyap Gallery Cafe and Restaurant History
Sulyap is a Filipino word that means "to take a peek or quick look". Like what its name suggests, Sulyap Gallery Cafe & Restaurant offers visitors to take a peek at how life was during the Spanish colonial era. For me, there are three "sulyap experiences" worth noting when visiting this place.

ReplyDelete=) Thanks for visiting my blog Aditi.
DeleteReally like the look and feel of the Gallery cafe restaurant. No wonder the name, Sulyap totally suits it. The path to the pool and cafe looks so welcoming! Would love to visit it on my next trip to Phillipines! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive feedback. =)
DeleteThis is so comprehensive...great information! It's interesting to see how they tied the food, lodging and museum all together too. Looks yummy!
ReplyDeleteThey really do. =) Thanks for visiting.
Deletesuch a interesting gesture by the owners of Sulyap to incorporate a museum within the premises , reminded me of a similar set up in India in the state of Goa . Lovely article , well presented and content
ReplyDeleteWould love to see and blog about that place in Goa. Thanks for visiting my blog.
DeleteI find the point of colonial history as a culturally eroding influence. I'd love to know more about Filipino culture before the colonials came, invaded and infused their culture. Sadly a lot of narrative and history has been re-written to have more of the colonial stories! The place you have shown us is beautiful. I'd love if a hotel has a musuem and culture!
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you. The colonial history had really covered up and nearly destroyed the Filipino culture. Luckily, there are still some places in the Philippines that were left untouched by the Spanish.
DeleteI love antique and old houses so these are treats to my eyes! Impressive how the owners managed to keep these antiques. I specially like the ceiling lights and the old wine opener haha. I remember this antique fridge in Casa Manila which is just made of ol wood (no electricity). And according to the guide, Filipinos used to import ice from the US and just put the ice under the “fridge”. It’s so cool to learn how old generations live :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to visit Casa Manila. I'm a lover of history too. I will add that place to my to visit list. Thanks for visiting my blog. =)
DeleteFood, lodging and museum display all in one place really make the place stand out. I like the rustic and the earthy looks all around this place. And the greenery as well. The pool looks relaxing and the museum full of history. The antiques are worth a visit for sure.
ReplyDeleteSame here. It's quite a unique mix. Antique lovers and history buffs would surely have a great time here. =)
DeleteI think that is unique that a restaurant houses a museum. I am glad they have put their collection on display. Those antiques are priceless. It is sad to know that colonial history had really covered up and nearly destroyed the Filipino culture.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Indrani. Our culture has been a mix mash of different cultures particularly the Spanish, American, and Japanese. It is quite hard to identify the original Filipino culture nowadays.
DeleteA photos of cafes like this make me feel so nostalgic - in a very positive way. I can fondly recall my weekends spent with family when I was still in the Philippines. Laguna, Batangas, and Cavite are nearby provinces, so we made it a point to comb these areas for new restaurants and cafes. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Rye.
DeleteMemories are the best thing to give to people we love.
I'm also trying to incorporate that to my family now as I want my daughter to have a lot of memories with me while I'm young.
Sulyap looks like a lovely place. The idea to incorporate a museum within the premises is a great one, and such well equipped museum this is. Thanks for sharing. Reminded me a little of "Papaya Vintage House" in Bangkok :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. I will surely check out the Papaya Vintage House if I get the chance to visit Thailand. =)
DeleteLagi kami sa Laguna pero di pa kami nakakapunta dito. Salamay sa pagshare.
ReplyDeleteTry niyo po ang food sa Sulyap Restaurant. Ok po siya.
