PEOPLE WHO LOVE TO EAT ARE THE HAPPIEST.
Hello itinerants all over the world and steemit community!
Here I am again to my "travel with me" travel blog series. But for now, I will be sharing with you guys my best dining experiences in one of the most famous Island in the Philippines, which is Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Aside from Palawan's go to places, it's also famous for its surreal mouth-watering and lavishly looking local dishes. These are only my personal picks, just so you know that there are actually a lot of go-to places where to dine in the City. I just thought of sharing the places that I have been to so people at least have an idea what and where to eat in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. I hope you guys like it! Bon Appetite!
WHAT TO EAT IN PUERTO PRINCESA?
1.) CROCODILE SISIG
Here in the Philippines, it's very common the usage of crocodile skin in production of luxury leather goods but not as a special cuisine. This is a must try food in Palawan. This mouth-watering and sizzling crocodile sisig would truly give a food to remember for a lifetime. Most of the native restaurants and bars in Palawan have this on the menu so there's no reason for you not to find one. It costs from 150.00 - 200 pesos (3.00 - 4.00 US Dollar) a serving good for 3-4 people already.
2.) TAMILOK
Tamilok is a shipworm and best when served raw with vinegar. It is super slimy and soft. To finally have ordered this, I told my self that there's no turning back because I traveled almost an hour and a half from Cebu to Puerto Princesa to try this. To be honest, it looks really weird and disgusting so I highly suggest if you wanna try this don't look at it any longer eat it right away and soak it with vinegar. I want to commend their vinegar because it really tastes good it overrides the disgusting and slimy texture of tamilok as it goes to your throat and stomach. WOULD YOU DARE TO EAT TAMILOK?

3.) Grilled Chicken with Unlimited Rice.
This grilled chicken with unlimited rice is Filipino's "all time favorite". Wherever you go in the Philippines you can really find restaurants which offer this on their menu. What's special about this is that without any sauce, it already tastes a mixture of sweet, soury and salty. They really cook it well to make the chicken skin crisps and to tender the meat.
WHERE TO EAT IN PUERTO?
1.) UGONG ROCK
Ugong rock restaurant and grill bar is located at Rizal Avenue, Puerto Princesa, Palawan. It is only 15-20 minutes away from the new airport. They offer reasonably good and authentic exotic food. I can say that I had a food and nice dining experience but definitely not the best by far.
2.) KINABUCH'S
Kinabuchi is also lcoated along the Rizal Avenue road, Puerto Princesa. The same as any other native restaurants and grill bars in the area, they also offer "crocodile sisig" and "tamilok" as one of their best sellers. Personally, I've liked the place better than any others because they actually have something on their kitchen style and ambiance which really they gave effort to make the ambiance looks nice and well-maintained. The staffs were also helpful and accommodating.
3.) BALINSASAYAW
Balinsasayaw is great local restaurant which gives you a provincial feels. Its nipa huts and cottages make an excellent dining experience. I just feel very comfortable at this place because it's so Filipino style like very simple but unique. Unlike other restaurants mentioned, the restaurant does not offer "tamilok" and "crocodile sisig" but leaves you full with their grilled chicken and seafood plus the unlimited rice. One bad thing I can say is that their service is not that effective due to the place is quite huge where the nipa huts are a cottage away from each other so it's kind of hassle to get their attention whenever you want something. But overall, I am satisfied and definitely will go back to try their tasty grilled chicken.
4.) K'na BOYET'S sa Baywok
If you are looking for a refreshing kind of dining experience, you may wanna try this resto located at Baywalk, Puerto Princesa. It's an open restaurants where there are stalls offering meat and fresh seafood ready to grill. There are many people at night for along the baywalk there are also various eateries and live bands. It's definitely nice to visit at night. We ordered their sizzling crocodile sisig and freshly cooked seafood. It's very cozy to spend the night in front of the bay and feel the sea breeze at night.
