FLAVOURS OF ILOILO

Another satisfying visit at Breakthrough Restaurant when I accompanied and toured a friend around Iloilo. It was more of a gastronomy tour since he was also here few weeks ago - without my knowledge. When in Iloilo it's automatic that one of the must try cuisine is La Paz batchoy but he's no pork eater so we had a seafood "binge" at Breakthrough Restaurant. Actually I was torn between Breakthrough and Tatoy's that time - I havent decided where to go even though we're already travelling to Villa beach. It was then I decided that ambiance must play a big role to first timers in Iloilo thus we went to Breakthrough. A good decision since we got a hut near the beach with a good vewi of the sea and Guimaras. There was even someone riding a jet ski that time. And the food never failed as well. The usual sizzling crabmeat, grilled scallops (surprisingly they're bigger than the usual, but i still prefer Tatoy's timpla ), my favorite shrimp kilawin , this crust...

Breakthrough Restaurant along Villa beach combines good food and good ambiance that makes it one of the first pitstops in Iloilo City's dining scene. Lunch and dinner times often makes this restaurant full to the brim as Ilonggos and tourists alike converge in this (mainly) seafood restaurant to enjoy one of te best things Iloilo can offer - good food at reasonable prices. That's why Breakthrough is among the top on my list of must-visit gastronomic places in Iloilo City. And indeed those whom I e-guided do make it part of their itinerary and share almost the same sentiments after having a Breakthrough "experience". My most recent visitors had lunch at Breakthrough (after their 4 churches visit down south of Iloilo) and shared these photos. They even ordered my recommended food items! Shrimp kilawin made it to the top of their list then sizzling crabmeat which "came back" everytime they burped (lol). Grilled scallops is also a staple order but I agree wi...

I dont usually eat crabs. Not that I'm lazy it's just I dont like going through all those hassles when eating ( lol! ) . One time when we ate at Breakthrough Restaurant , our lot included sizzling crabmeat that made wow! It was then a staple order for me whenever we go back there and in other restaurants as well. Then came this convenient crabmeat pack available in the groceries, now crabmeats can be enjoyed without the hassle especially for people like me. Cook it anyway you like and with what ever ingredients you feel just like.At home, its just a simple saute then added with some mixed veggies like corn,peas and carrots plus some bell peppers.
