There is another kind of crab called alimasag. Must be fresh, of course. Otherwise, it could be very disappointing. Some people prefer this to the typical crab because of its sweeter meat.

If you like buko pie, then you must try the buko tarts of Rowena’s Cafe, Tagaytay. Tastier (and seems to be prepared with more “love”) than Collette’s, in my opinion.

Ilocos chichacorn is also another favorite of mine! So addicting. If you feel like going local, try munching on this while watching a movie.

Another dish you might want to try if you haven’t is sinigang. It’s a sour broth made from tamarind (or kamias), pork or seafood, and local vegetables. If you like Thai tom yum soup, then maybe you’ll like this one too.

Garlic rice is also yummy, and goes well with breakfast meats like longganisa (pork sausage), tapa (beef), tocino (sweet pork) and danggit (dried fish).

In Batanes, the yellow rice (I’m sorry I can’t remember the local name) with tiny bits of meat wrapped in leaves is also a must-try for rice lovers.

I’ve been to Rizal and to Angono, however with the petroglyphs and all the srt galleries in the town I didn’t have a chance to go to any of the restaurants there because we had to head out to Tanay. I do want to go back to Rizal so I can try to drop by and try it in the future. Check out our Rizal article by clicking the destinations tab to see where we went.

Have you tried to travelled in Rizal Province, and tried to our own Balaw-balaw, Itlog na Maalat and Binarutak.

If you have some ample time, try to drop by at Balaw-Balaw Restaurant in Angono, Rizal and in some area in the province.

Thank,

You should try the one in Ilocos! They are just mouthwatering… Hmmm… empanada….
