The Socorro drugstore building, dubbed as Iloilo's answer to NYC's Flatiron building, holds a little secret. Tucked on both sides along JM Basa and Iznart streets is a food shop take home counter. Selling a variety of baked goodies, this food shop is said to be the forerunner of the filled waffle in the city.
For years, this hole in the wall was the waffle "haven" for everybody from all walks of life. Every passerby was surely enticed by the nice aroma of these waffles whenever they find themselves in the vicinity. Even with the emergence of waffle stalls in malls with more varieties and offerings, this little shop manages to survive with only hotdog and cheese filling its waffle.
