They have great local pastries perfect for gifts when traveling. Price is fair with a lot of choices. They could also put your purchase in a box for ease of travel. I highly recommend a stop here for any visitor coming to Bacolod. read more

I saw a sign that said 10% service charge for sitting inside the air conditioned area, which was fine by me. I'm happy to pay a little extra to sit in an air conditioned restaurant. First, let me say the servers we had were very helpful and took care of us throughout our entire meal. They were quite attentive, more so than most places I've been to. So where do I begin... as we approached the restaurant, it just seems to be this hole in the wall side of the road spot, by many accounts it is, however this little place opens inside to a much larger dining area and is quite busy with people. As we were choosing the dishes to eat, the butcher, or whatever you call the guy who's in charge of taking your seafood, weighing it, and asking how you would like it cooked, so this guy pushed some rotten fish on us! WTF! Let me say this, the adobo squid was really good, the lobster was ok, just ok or just sub par, the scallops are about average as anyplace in the Philippines, but the fish they served in the soup was straight up rotten!! You could smell it right away as soon as they brought it to the table. I wanted to complain but everyone I was with said just don't eat it... Filipino shyness of actually saying what's on your mind, not polite really, just I think it's more of a cultural shyness. Nonetheless, WTF! Rotten fish, NASTY! I'm going to leave it at that. So many blogs I read tout this restaurant. SKIP IT! Go to a real restaurant and enjoy a nice meal or inspect what you purchase before you buy it. Enough said. My bill was over 2300 pesos... seriously I could have have a Wagyu Steak and Bone Marrow for about 500 less and enjoyed savoring my meal! Stay Hungry!

This is your typical…read morestreet food that what matters the most is the cleanliness, flavor and tastiness of the lechon (roasted pig). Their pork belly is one of a kind. Tender, juicy, crispy and absolutely full of flavor. The hanging rice was also something I've missed. There's a hint of banana leaf (clean flavor) and scent in the rice. It's not as compact as I remembered though, this one sort of falls off which was a bit of a disappointment. They provide benches and tables for those who wants to eat there. But it's outdoor. They also provide plastic gloves for those who want to use their hands to eat. It's kind of fun because that's something new to me. In the old days, you just eat with your hands and just wash before and after. They still provide hand washing center though so no worries. Overall, a fun eat. And a must when you're in town.

When in Bacolod, you'll surely have a lot of choices when it comes to chicken inasal. You will find…read moreno shortage of resturants offering and claiming to be Bacolod's finest and Chicken Deli is no different. Chicken Deli separtes itself from the rest because it is one of Bacolod's oldest and most popular chicken inasal joint. I can still remember my childhood days where I look forward to the weekend because then my parents would bring us to have dinner at Chiken Deli. More than the nostagia, Chicken Deli remains to be one of Bacolod's best tasting chicken inasal joint. Their recipe remains unchanged all these years. Their chicken remains distinctly yummy. Of note though is that their chicken is smaller than what you'll find in Mang Inasal, or any other inasal joint for that matter. But while it's smaller, it's definitely tastier. Chicken Deli offers more than just the famous chicken inasal though, you can also order Filipino favorites such as sinigang, adobo, lumpia, and so much more. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it yourself, you're likely to agree with my review when you do.

This city has improved so much with the…read morevarieties of activities to do including shopping and eating the best foods, fruits, beverages, etc. The roads are bigger and updated including the shopping centers and malls. I absolutely love this city even though I am not from here. Primarily, the reason for coming here is to visit my father-in-law. It's been a long while since I last saw him. It was a really nice visit because he is getting older and he is a character--full of life and laughter. The best part especially, is that he was very accommodating about our stay. It was very sweet of him to do so. He took us around the city including this very market before the big festival started. Here, you will find everything you need for souvenirs, snacks, all sorts of fruits, anything you need for cooking--the works! Anyway, you "cannot not eat" here! It might take some adjustments if you are known to be high class but for me, I am always down for the best experiences life has to offer. Your feet can get dirty and you might get into some little or lots of puddles along the way going in. I highly recommend being open to checking out an open market such as this where they sell meats, poultry and everything else! I had so much fun here. This city is truly known for the best mangoes in the world. Kid you not. Mangoes from Guimaras are the best! They have this beautiful yellow color and the fragrant is heavenly sweet. You can almost taste it even with its skin on. They are just as good if you prefer to eat them when they are green. So when you want to buy these babies from other places? Ask where it's from. When you hear Guimaras, you must buy! I love this market!

I can't tell you if its better to go at a certain time or not... I will say when there are more people there is more to see, more to do, more to absorb its just crazy cool here! I have come here as one for the tourist attraction because there are truly a thing of beauty! This large central market is pretty much home to anything you can think of. Pasalubongs. Food (Sarap Sarap!). Clothes. Games. People. You name it. If you are in the area they house the largest place to find any sort of souvenirs and they have them for fractions of the price you would pay at SM or SM City! at least 50% off! Thats a huge saver there! you just want to leave a good 2-3 hours maybe even 4 to set out so you aren't rushing through and miss something. You can't leave without buying a barrel man and woman hahahaha. The next thing here is the WET market! ITS REALLY WET!!! It rains all the dang time lol and its almost like an outside swap meet. They have covering over the market but of course something gets through so be sure to wear your anything shoes. The wet market is where vendors gather around to sell all the goods Rice Fish Produce Their rendition of food trucks, the street carts Desserts You name it!!!! Its really an experience you have to check out if you ever come to IloIlo City, Philippines. Just enjoy the people watching will blow your mind. watching all the races and blends of people gather and interact here is amazing. Watching the kids place throughout the market. Some will even try to hustle you, but you can't even be mad at them. #1 Rule! :Negotiate, Negotiate, NEGOTIATE ALL PRICING!!!! Have a take it or leave it type of offer and 9/10 times you will win :)
Open public market... So much to see!

The security guards are friendly- they remove cones when you need to park and they help you back out of the lot. People here are always happy - celebrating something, going on dates, eating as a group and even having meetings. It could get loud, but its also manageable. The noise and the crowd doesnt bother me because the tables are well spaced from each other. If you need a bigger table, they can easily more them around to make it happen. Their food is great and serve very fair portion sizes, but what i come here for really is the bakery area. I always get one thing, and its the favorite of my entire family. I dont remember the exact name, but i think its called the Cheese Crunchy. I always buy 10 at a time. This in particular has really nice soft yet crunchy texture and the cheese isnt melted, but its very soft. When I visit, I always come here to buy enough that will last a few days and then i buy more before I leave.

Along with the original, there are now other locations, including a smaller version called Bob's Café. They are well known for their burgers, but have grown their menu since the early 70s. It was nostalgic to return to Bob's after over 30 years of being away. We ordered a few items on the menu and was not disappointed. The Lengua in mushroom sauce was a bit too soupy for my taste. Salpicao was tender, and the fried isul was pretty good. Overall, service was good but not as good as it was decades ago when it was more personal. However, food was also good but competition from newer restaurants have made it somewhat mediocre. Even so, Bob's will remain a staple in this city, especially for those of us who grew up coming to Bob's.

I prefer to purchase my fish at SM Supermarket because the merchandisers will scale out the fish upon request. For fruits and vegetables, the suppliers offer top quality crops. The supermarket accepts credit cards and honor senior citizen discounts. Within the supermarket area, there is my favorite Syoti for the deep fried fish tofu, Kikiam and assorted seafood balls. For fresh baked breads, there is Tibiao Bakeshop. SM Supermarket also sells ready to eat food items like Turon with langka, roasted chicken and other rice meals at affordable price.

It would have been perfect with Dinuguan (pork blood stew) which I eyed greedily as someone at a table beside us had ordered it and seemed to be enjoying himself. I had ordered Tapsilog as well, but our server said it was not available but highly recommended the Corn(ed beef) silog, which turned out to be exceptional. The egg was perfectly fried with toasted edges and a slightly runny yolk. Rice had perfect grain texture and slightly slick with garlic oil.

Too bad, but if Brewtherhood uses imported high quality arabica beans in a high-end commercial espresso machine, why not here? Not sure we will go back. Too bad because we'd have liked something closer. Oddly enough, but when driving 2.5 hours to San Jose in Antigue on a bad road seems a better alternative, tells you all about the lousy restaurants, minimal good coffee shops (Brewtherhood), and marginal hotels in the 'big' city, something needs to be changed!
