Advertisement by Google:

Aside from its colourful Maskara festival and must-visit tourist spots, Bacolod city is popular for its Bacolod Inasal. In fact, there are numerous restaurants located around the country claiming to have an authentic Bacolod Inasal as part of their menu. But eating Bacolod Inasal,  that is being bought and eaten right in the vicinity of Bacolod City gives such feeling of genuineness.

Bacolod Inasal has a great taste that will surely make you consider of tasting once you visit this place. It has a tender and juicy flavour which is perfect partner for rice. I would also advise you to try this as pulutan with cold beer. Without a doubt, Bacolod Inasal can be eaten without a sauce because of its savoury flavour.

Inasal is a Visayan word “asal” which means to grill or roast. Inasal means roasted or grilled which is commonly used as Inasal Baboy and Manok or simply Lechon.  Inasal varies in terms of taste depending in the origin of the recipe. With Bacolod Inasal, it has distinctive taste that you can easily distinguish when you eat a roasted chicken that are coming from different location. I must say that whoever created the secret recipe of Bacolod Inasal – he/she made

🎂 Calea Pastries and Coffee – Eating the Top 10 Best Seller Cakes.

Advertisement by Google:

 Calea Pastries and Coffee is located at 15th st, Balay Quince,Bacolod, 6100 Negros Occidental. It is one of the places that travellers considered visiting during Bacolod Travel. Obviously, most of the customers are foreigners.

Calea offers massive choices of bread and pastries. Drinks like coffee and cold drinks are also available. And so, together with the Pillar Publication’s Best Bite Team, we bought their top 10 best seller cakes and did a review.

The price 3/5

The products here are quite expensive. It ranges PHP80-200 depending on the cakes.

The location 5/5

The place is clean. It is well- ventilated and the light is enough to create a classy restaurant-look. I like the fact that you can choose between outdoor and indoor location of the table. Indoor location has air-con and outdoor - it is very Zen feeling since it has garden and artificial waterfalls.



The Foods 5/5

With its expensive price, I must say that it is worth paying. This is not a paid post so I will not put the names of the cakes for fairness. But the cakes were extremely delicious. Varieties of flavours are served. You can order a whole cake for a party or just a slice of it for table consumption. Their cakes truly melt inside the mouth and it gives an indescribable feeling. I’m not exaggerating this review indeed; I can bet my reputation if you don’t like their pastries.

I also ordered a halo-halo and nothing spectacular honestly. But the cakes were so heavenly baked and I must say “cakes are their best asset”.

Undeniably, I promised to myself to grab a bite in this place whenever I have a chance to go back to Bacolod.

Review: Guapple Pie in El Ideal

El Ideal has been serving good food since 1920's and is included in one of the thirty heritage houses declared by the national historical institute. Famished after walking around to see the heritage houses of Silay and the famous Balay Negrense, we decided to try this local eatery. The interior is basic nothing fancy but the food is delicious and reasonably priced. One must try their tasty batchoy- a type of noodle soup, bicho-bicho, a local delicacy made of sticky rice flour, smothered with melted brown sugar and sesame seed (oh so yummy!) and their piping hot piayaya- a flat pastry filled with muscovado jam and sprinkled with sesame seed. They also have racks of varied pastries and cookies for last minute souvenirs.



Their best seller is the famous guapple pie, but I wasn't able to try it.  Guapple Pie is truly new to my knowledge, I was curious about.


Taste: 8/10 – It is sweet and the aroma of the Guava is still there. (Medyo nakakaumay nga lang pag nasobrahan)

Appearance: 7/10  It looks appetizing because of the breading. However, when you eat it using fork, it crushes easily into pieces.


Location: The place is just 20 minutes away going to Bacolod-Silay International Airport, so if you want a quick snack before catching your flight, this is the place to eat.

The Ruins in Negros Occidental - Mind Blowing Experience.

I got a chance to visit “THE RUINS” Talisay City, Negros Occidental. It was year 2015 , summer when my friends visited this place.


The Ruins is an old Mariano Ledesma Lacson Mansion, located in the city is a known tourist attraction. Talisay, officially the City of Talisay and often referred to as Talisay City, is a fourth class city in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines




I loved that every angle looks beautiful in the photos. Whether you want to drop by this place or not you'll be able to pass by the location when you go to Bacolod City proper. There's an entrance fee when you visit the place.



Other than taking pictures, there is nothing much to do here. It suites more as a venue for weddings or other similar celebrations rather than a tourist attraction. Probably because the place no longer has that old-prehistoric vibe it boasts due to numerous restorations.



Over all , I love the experience.
