    I’m from Negros and I must say that FEATR did a great job in showcasing Iloilo dishes. This is the kind of vlog that we like. Feels authentic and nostalgic especially these foods are so similar with our dishes here. Kudos to Erwan who ate for hours and hours! Kudos to your team for coming up with this feature.

    That is true Ilonggo hospitality. We never take no for an answer when it comes to feeding our guests! That's how we show appreciation and ❤. We keep saying kaon ta ( let's eat, kaon na (come and eat), or always ask you ka kaon ka na ( have you eaten yet?)? So when this happens, just have a small bite of everything, or we will be sad if you refuse. 😂

I used to go to University of Iloilo and Nora's was just across the street from my school, we are a half day class only and after class before going to the gym, I always eat at Nora's to get that homemade taste and feel at home kind of vibe especially from the Lola's serving the place. This video definitely took me down memory lane, thanks to Erwan and the staff for featuring our beloved city of love.

    And *kudos* to Chef Tibong for such a perfect culinary guide and patiently explaining on this episode whats being served on the table. And oh I forgot, Thank You Chef for elevating Ilonggo cuisine to the national counciousness. I often see or read about him doing some explainer on Ilonggo cuisine. I dunno what's exactly is next for this series but there are things to see and eat on each of this region's provinces. 👍🏻👍🏻 on this episode 😉!!

    living here now in Manila, food back home in Iloilo is really just different. especially yung mga sabaw na main dishes is cooked differently. my fave for sure is the nilaga, our own version of puchero, KBL, tinola, our home’s staple pinamalhan, and the seafood of course, it could be just crabs and dried fish for days back in my hometown. so happy that you visited local eateries and not just get some batchoy and stuff 😅 but overall such a great docu. “kagwapo gid ya bala sang bana ni Anne” hahaha

    Aroz de valenciana or just valenciana like we call it are staple in parties from birthdays to fiesta celebrations. And not just in the cities but in the smaller baranggays of different towns in the province. It’s a food that brings back a lot of memories too. Together with the molo soup which is my lola’s specialty. I miss my hometown even more after watching this. 🥺

    We grew up with homecooked food, even in our carinderias. We always look for home-cooked meals. Laswa and sinugba whenever I go back home. They say Ilonggos are among those who are the hardest to please when it comes to food because we grew up with one of our parents who cooks, with the recipes passed on for generations.

    Living in Iloilo for 4 years throughout college has taught me that the best food in Iloilo can be found in the carenderias, some of which have been present for decades. You can go to place that serves La Paz batchoy since the 50's to a carenderia that specialized in fried chicken since the 40's all in the same area. What I miss most is eating bingka in Molo Plaza while peoplewatching.

Also, kansihan carenderia/stalls are everywhere in Iloilo, so pls try pata and patotin. Don’t forget KBL (kadyos, baboy, langka) as well very traditional! ❤

      Why do we negrense call ourselves ilonggos when we weren't raised and do not live in Iloilo?
      If our ninuno came from Iloilo, isn't it na they're the ones who are ilonggos lang? Pero kita who were born and raised in Negros, I don't think we're ilonggos. They have a different manner of speaking and way of life than those who were born and raised in Bacolod or Negros.

I felt bad that you did not taste adobado alimosan which is my favorite. But I am glad you had sinabawan fish head , inihaw na baboy, the ensaladang puso ng saging and the radish and ampalaya salad. The eatery is really the place that people from all walks of life would eat before Tatoy’s came in the picture. Now you know our family’s secret. 😂😂 You need to try Sobriedo’s batchoy (batchoy ni jasmine) in sta. Barbar, seafood at Tytche and in Bebot and Mila’s. In the coastal. Siopao in kongkee and their crispy bihon. Also please explore the foods of the province of Iloilo, to our hometowns. We also have our distinct foods that we can call our own. Enjoy!! ❤❤

    Iloilo is my dad’s family home. They moved to Roxas along the Loctugan river as a teen then on to Nuevo Viscaya in Luzon to the family farm. I’ve visited the PI several times but have yet to visit those locations. Some day.

    Better done than what Bourdain did. WHY no subtitles at the long interview at Beige?! I live in Iloilo and eat a lot of those dishes right at home. The freshness and abundance here is mind blowing. Nicely done (retired doc filmmaker here).

      One last request - your supers on what the dishes are - waaaay too fast to read. Really detracts

    Just a typical day whenever I go home to Iloilo from Manila. I love everything the city has to offer with food, but it gets really overwhelming. You're right. One is spoiled when one eats in Iloilo.

    Amazing! I'm growing homesick with all these places we always frequented working in the nearby government office then. Thanks for featuring Iloilo City Erwan. More power!

    I used to travel around Visayas a lot due to my previous job, and Iloilo and Bacolod have always been my fave stops where you can indulge in quick gastro adventures.

    I had a friend once from Cebu but grew up in Iloilo during her early childhood years. Came to visit Iloilo one time and mentioned that the fish (specifically Bangus) in Iloilo or Panay for that matter (since some of this come from fishponds outside of Iloilo as far as Capiz) just tastes so much sweeter or has that umami taste that is unique. You can taste it when you eat the belly part. Enjoy the seafood.
