Question: where can you taste the most authentic La Paz Batchoy? The answer is La Paz, Iloilo, of course. The Filipino noodle dish originated from this district, after all. Last May, when I and my friends went to Iloilo on a day trip, we had to include “eating original La Paz batchoy at the La Paz […]
Vietnamese coffee on ice is one of my favorite coffee drinks. Here in Bacolod City, we have about three places that serve this coffee drink. One of them is Highlands Coffee, located inside City Mall Mandalagan. This is going to be a short post, but I just felt the need to mention the Vietnamese Iced […]
I think I already said this in one of my social media posts, but I’m gonna repeat it here again: I’m thankful to be living in Negros Occidental/Bacolod because aside from the slew of wonderful places to eat, there’s also a number of wonderful places to eat healthy. One of the places that serve organic deliciousness […]
We have plenty of Japanese restaurants in the city, but none really specialises in making authentic Japanese Ramen. Well, there’s one in the weekend market in DC Cruz that volunteers from OISCA, an International organisation, makes. But, they only cook ramen every weekend. Now that the Izumi ramen restaurant is open, Bacolodnons can enjoy ramen Monday to […]
Retro KTV at theMarket Place is a new Bacolod bar that’s a little bit different than most bars here in the city. It’s retro-themed, it has disco KTV rooms as well as an upper deck, and Barbie – their unique, head-turning barbeque grill. Retro-Themed Bacolod Bar at The MarketPlace When you’re at the MarketPlace, it’s easy […]
Roli’s Cafe – I think it was more of Roli’s Diner back then. I can’t remember eating at the place when I was younger, but my parents do, and they say that it was one of the most popular places to eat. I asked my mom (who also loves to eat and cook) what Roli’s Cafe dishes were […]
Bacolodnons love anything grilled! Grilled baby back ribs smothered in barbecue sauce, grilled fish, grilled chicken, grilled pork – you name it and a Bacolodnon will eat it! People usually go to different places to grill different kinds of meat. But now that Ribshack is open at SM City Bacolod’s South Wing, people can now enjoy […]
Did you know that a new milk tea place just opened up in SM City Bacolod? If you frequently visit SM, you may have already guessed that I’m referring to Serenitea. Have you had your Serenitea Milk Tea Today? It’s very easy to spot Serenitea because it is right beside the entrance of the grocery store. The […]
First of all, this isn’t just another cafe post because this cafe is special. I say ‘special’ because this cafe has a unique concept that I have not see done in any other cafe in Bacolod. Let me introduce you to: Swivel Lifestyle Lounge Bacolod. The cafe is owned and managed by 3 young men who […]
My husband worked in Saudi Arabia for about a year. When he came home, he had already developed the skill for speaking Arabic (though not fluently) as well as the taste for Middle Eastern food. It was inevitable for him to miss both. Although it has been hard for him to find someone to speak Arabic with, […]
Mekong is a river in South East Asia that runs from the Tibetan Plateau through China’s Yunnan province, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. Although it passes through many regions, people commonly associate it with Vietnam. In Bacolod City, we now have our own version of Mekong. It’s not really a body of water, but a street food stand […]
Have you ever watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S before? If you have, you’ve probably noticed that they always seem to hang out in just one cafe. To me and my friends Kubo sa Lawn was our sitcom cafe; well, one of them, at least. We weren’t there everyday because we didn’t have much money back then when we […]
Saddam’s Shawarma, located at Homegrown Bacolod, serves all kinds of shawarma delights, from shawarma rice, to shawarma wraps, and, their most popular, shawarma fries. They invited me, along with some of the Negros Bloggers, over to taste some of the dishes they have. And, let me tell you, I don’t know what Saddam’s secret is, but their […]
Deciding where to eat is such a pain in the butt. When you go around a mall you’ve been to a hundred times, I don’t really understand why deciding where to eat and what to eat is still a challenge for myself as well as for most people (especially for hungry couples who will most […]
If you or your kids are students at St John’s Institute (HuaMing) here in Bacolod, you may already know this lady who is mostly known as “Manang CREM” or “Mommy CREM”. Her real name is Malou, just in case you were wondering, and she’s just been blessed with a new stand that you can find […]
Yes, it’s possible to eat cheaper at the Vikings Luxury Buffet (Bacolod) – Vikings seems to be getting along very well with the locals of Bacolod City. Whenever I pass by the branch, there’s always a good number of folks enjoying the buffet. Bacolodnons love to eat and there’s finally a place for us to do so to […]
Choobi Choobi Bacolod is now open at the SM City Mall, located at the ground floor, near Cabalen and Chika-an. It was the first time that I’ve heard about the restaurant, but I’m glad that they invited me and my fellow Negros Bloggers over as they have an inspiring story behind their success. The restaurant basically […]
Is it just me or has Bacolod had a lot of organic restaurant openings over the past year? It’s probably just me because I’m at an age (I’m 29) where you come to your senses and realize that your indestructibility, more commonly known as youth, is slowly leaving your body year after year. Whatever the case, […]
There are a lot of places to eat at in Bacolod City. Ginger Lime Diner, located along Lopez Jaena Street, was recently added to this list. I personally added it on my list of places to eat at again. This place is a small diner owned and managed by Johanna and Citoy Taño. I, along with […]
Despite Bacolod being a fairly small city, you’ll be surprised at how diverse the food choices here are. One good example of a cafe that’s offering diversity is Kabbara Cafe. It’s definitely a cafe that’s on my radar and it should be in yours too. The Kabbara Cafe is over at the newly opened The Billboards: BS Aquino […]
