Sometime last month, my family and I found ourselves spending a Saturday morning somewhere up North. We were done with business come lunchtime but our grumbling stomachs told us to find a pitstop before heading back to Manila. This was when I forced convinced them to find that restaurant I've been hearing good things about- the one with the Tacsiyapo Wall.
Being pseudo-Kapampangan (my grandparents hail from the lovely city of San Fernando), I've always known 'tacsiyapo' to be a kapampangan term. In fact, I distinctly remember a video recording of my 1st birthday with my lola yelling "Mga tacsiyapo kayo!" to my young uncles when she found out they were filming her, eagerly cheering her granddaughter on with her hair disheveled and wearing one of her famous dasters. (To me, the video is gold.)

Going back to the topic, I was telling my family to look out for a restaurant sign bearing the name Tacsiyapo, because that was what I thought it was called. Apparently, I was mistaken and the restaurant we were looking for is actually called Isdaan Floating Restaurant, thanks to one of my titos who had already been there. It's hard to miss as it's located right along the National Road of Gerona, Tarlac.
