Filipino cuisine is very diverse because of its influences from Mexicans, Spaniards, Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Japanese and Americans.
Poqui – Poqui Balls @ Php 115
After a tiring tour of Vigan during the day, we deserved to have delicious Ilocano dinner on our last night in Vigan at Uno Grille. Like what we usually do, we search for must-try restaurants for a certain place before we actually go there. Many bloggers recommended that we dine at Uno Grille / Kusina Felicitas because they have great food and large servings. Well, it was only the two of us so it was quite hard to order a lot of food. So we only chose 2 viands and flavored rice to pair them with. Continue reading →
Virgie’s Napoleones
My father has been to Bacolod several times. And every time he comes back to Manila, I’d expect him to be back with several packs of Piaya from BongBong’s which most people buy as a “pasalubong”. If you would like something different, we suggest boxes of Napoleones from Virgie’s. Continue reading →
Miki with Bagnet and Pandesal
If you’re in Calle Crisologo in Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, I suggest that you try Cafe Uno which is just nearby since it’s literally a few meters away. Cafe Uno is quite popular with the locals and as well as the tourists. We went to Cafe Uno twice, the first time was after the sumptuous dinner at the opposite restaurant, Uno Grillery (which has the same owners as Cafe Uno) and the second time was the next day before we leave Vigan.

Tapsilog
Taps is said to be Davao’s breakfast capital. Because of its popularity amongst the locals and because me and Sha love breakfasts, we decided to have breakfast at Taps at a branch near the People’s Park (along Palma Gil St.) so that we could also take pictures there. Continue reading →
Before we went to Paoay, we had a little stop over in Batac because of the Miki and Empanada. They are part of our culinary bucket list which we will not dare miss.
Empanada vendors are convened in this place called “Empanadahan”. You will not miss this because this is just opposite the Marcos Museum and beside Batac Church. Once you’re inside the Empanadahan, you will see a lot of Empanada vendors. Now what to choose? At first we didn’t know what to choose so we chose whatever we felt like choosing. Then we realized after “checking in” to Foursquare, a tip was left there which mentions that Glory’s was the best Empanada. So we did buy another Empanada, this time Glory’s, and we tasted the difference. Glory’s is tastier compared to the first one we bought. I guess it’s because their Empanada is stuffed with more longganisa. Continue reading →
