Food Hubs to Check Out at Iloilo

My obsession to twiggy models is about to end! They are simply irresistible—I mean the calories. I am no foodie but when I travel the craving button just automatically turns on. Who could mere watch an authentic iced chocolate perspiring coldly in front of you as if waiting to be licked? Wait what!

Fix Gastronomic Issue at Floyd’s BBQ House

Starving and looking for a wallet-friendly place to entertain your gastronomic lasciviousness? Then Floyd’s Famous BBQ should be in your food hub checklist. Located in front of SM Delgado-Iloilo, this humble resto fancies to treat you with barbecued beef, chicken, fish, and pork. At less than P150 you could have the thirst quenching four seasons beverage, Java rice and barbecued bangus with atsara. They are affordable and offer beer buckets so you will see a lot of parokyanos here. Just be careful not to over drink or over eat. Vomit fee is P200. Much costly than your meal J

Coffee Break for a Break

Book. Coffee. Chocolate. Break!

Easy, that’s because as of this writing (aside from being bored), I have gulped one iced cold coffee and devoured two beehive chocolate from Coffee Break. Damn, I just can’t help it. I never missed this when I am in Iloilo. I have this soft spot on cafes. And I could say that over and over again. Coffee Break is a favorite here for aside the warm crew, the goodies are so affordable and darn sumptuous. Don’t get me wrong. I am not paid a single dime to preach the good news about them. I am just a choco-coffee junkie who likes to rant what salivates me. So when you visit Iloilo, don’t cha go home without even a bite of the sweet tooth provoking devils.

Soup Treat at Ted’s La Paz Batchoy

So I was really damn curious why Lucky Me Supreme have to adapt that La Paz Batchoy of Iloilo that I decided to taste the authentic one myself. And where else is their main food hub located but at La Paz.  I am not a noodle fan but might as well try to tell the tale. Turned out it really is tasty. I ate everything except the noodles J

The Taste of Iloilo

Iloilo is known for its grand churches but this time food tripping is my mantra. (L-R) Juicy native lechon manok from Mang Tatoy's. The said sea food restaurant is well-known both to the locals and visitors. It is situated quite a distance from the  town proper but the journey is all worth it. They offer a wide array of sumptuous dishes like grilled hito, native chicken curry, chopsuey, cheesy baked tahong, fried crabs and ohh, my mouth waters.  Pork stew with jack fruit. I have tried eating jack fruit cooked in coconut milk but never stewed it was fairly delicious though. Sinigang na baboy. I am never a fan of sour stews but this is a sure hit in my taste. In lieu for  tamarind or calamansi, Ilonggos used batuan for souring.  Batuan or Garcinia binucao is a greenish, yellowish fruit that has firm outer covering that contains acidic pulp and seeds. It made the sourness of the stew just mild while the kadios beans balanced it all. Grilled tangigi. Thumbs up to this splendid bad boy. Fresh from catch. Fresh from grill. That explains the sweet smoky taste of the meat. Molo soup. Noodles from Molo (a place in Iloilo City) bathe in water and chicken flakes. La Paz batchoy is also popular in Iloilo most especially of course at La Paz. Bisocho. Meaning biscuits in Spanish, this baked bread topped with butter and sugar is Iloilo's number pasalubong. Hot spots are hard to find here but in case you need one, I recommend Coffee Break. As a coffeeholic, I could say their coffee is excellent at affordable prices (Like Php80 and up) . You just need a minimum Php100 purchase to avail their wifi.
