FLAVOURS OF ILOILO

Famous for a row seafood restaurants dotting the coastline, a certain portion of the town of Dumangas is like a magnet to travelers as well as foodies who opt to enjoy seafood and homestyle Ilonggo cuisine at affordable prices. Our first out town lunch break (yup we all went back to our respective works after) at Piad's Seafood Restaurant in Dumangas. Traversing the Iloilo Coastal Road, it was around 30 minutes of smooth driving, scenic land and seascapes and almost zero traffic. At times, ours was the only vehicle on the road!

According to my sister-in-law, a Joy-joy’s regular who works at the nearby Iloilo Second Engineering District of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), only engineers and construction contractors patronize the seafood eatery before. Now customers include balikbayans, tourists, businessmen, politicians, or just families on a weekend get-together, all craving for native Ilonggo seafood cuisine. >>> Read More And the specialty of the house – adobado nga alimusan.

Just another Weekend Getaway at the Iloilo-Dumangas Coastal Road by Neil @ TheTrekker We all know that the Iloilo-Dumangas Coastal Road – unofficially known as the Monfort-Vigilar Highway – is lined with seafood restaurants along its length in the Dumangas area. Although Joy-joy’s Kalan-an is the most notable among these seafood restaurants, there are numerous other eating places deserving of attention, maybe even of regular patronage. One such eating place is Elizabeth Restaurant, just a kilometer or so down the road from Joy-joy’s.
