ILOILO (gastronomically speaking)

You first taste the food with your eyes more than any other of your senses. 

Presenting some of my favorite hunger busters in Iloilo.

 Seafoods' fare @ Tatoy's ( 5 minutes away from Iloilo Airport)

Halo-halo, Korean style. An iceless bed of diced ripe mango, pineapple and strawberry topped with a generous serving of ice cream, wafer stick and biscuit.

@ Ice Spot, Robinson's Mall

Korean waffle with chopped pecan nuts, blueberries and strawberries 

served with tangy yogurt (Ice Spot, Robinson's Mall)

 Fruity Croinuts (that's what the bakeshop calls it). A double-decker of croissant and donut filled with pineapple, mango or strawberry jam. Warning: this is not for the weak of heart. It is sugary-sweet and with a quarter of a piece, you get a taste of heaven without entering the gates of hell (JD Bakery)

 

Molo soup with chicken meat. Ultimate comfort food even during summer. Brings back happy memories of childhood, The aroma alone is to die for. Hands down, my favorite of 'em all

than a wife who can cook and won't, 

and that's a wife who can't cook and will'
