Ken's Seafood House (Balaring, Silay, Negros Occidental)

Ken's Seafood House in Balaring, Silay City

During our last trip to Negros (February 3, 2011) our tour guide from Next Stop Negros (Betsy) mentioned a Barangay in Silay which offered delicous SeaFood. The Barangay was Balaring. Being a Seafood Lover (Crabs and Shrimps are my Favorite) i asked Betsy what the name was again, "Balaring" she said. I told her that next time i go back to Negros that i will go there. 

When we got back to Manila, i forgot the name of the Barangay again, so I texted Kris (a friend from Negros who was with us during our February Negros Trip) what the name was again of the Barangay in Silay which had delicious Seafood. "Balaring" she texted.
  

March 10,2011 we had another trip to Bacolod. We planned on eating in Balaring lunchtime but we would arrive 10am and we would proceed to Don Salvador Benedicto so Lunch at Balaring was kinda impossible. We just settled for a late lunch at Balaring, just before our flight will depart. On the way to Silay i kept on saying that we will have late lunch at "Biliran". When we arrived at the place that Betsy pointed out we asked the locals where "Biliran" was. The man we asked did not know. We though to ourselves, how come this man does not know where Biliran is when it is just in the area. He then asked another man, and we asked where the seafood restaurants where and he pointed us to the right road and just go straight. After a few minutes we arrived at Balaring. We decided at Ken's House since it was the most welcoming Restaurant and not to mention that it looked nice. On their Tarpaulin we saw that the place we were looking for was "Balaring" and not "Biliran", so that is why nobody knew where it was.

We ordered the Following:


Kilawin Tanigue - I still cannot get used to Kilawin Tanique with Salted Egg. I still prefer the way it is done without Salted Egg. Anyway, this version of Kilawin Tanique was good even with Salted Egg.



Shrimp with Garlic - Very Delicious. Super Fresh Shrimps used for this dish.


Inihaw na Pusit - This dish is good, but the Squid was kinda hard to chew on. I think they over grilled it.


Overall it was a good late lunch. Our bill just totalled P504 Pesos (including Rice and Drinks). Next time we will try the other Seafood Restaurants.

Aling Pining's Crispy Pata (La Loma, Quezon City)

Image
One of Metro Manila's BEST Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage. I found about Aling Pining's Crispy Pata in a FB Comment a few months ago. The Commenter just said the best Crispy Pata can be found in a Garage in Halcon Street in La Loma. With Just Halcon Street as the address we went to La Loma 2 weeks ago in search of Halcon Street Crispy Pata. When we arrived at Halcon Street we just asked the people there where we can buy Crispy Pata. We passed by it already it turned out. It was indeed just a garage. It had a small sign. Halcon Street Crispy Pata was Aling Pinings Crispy Pata.  An Old Lady was the one frying the Crispy Pata. While a middle aged woman  was the one accepting orders. We bought a Crispy Pata (P400) and we were on our way. At home we were eager to finally taste the Crispy Pata. It did not disappoint. The trip to La Loma was worth it. Is it the best? My mom said the one in Marinduque is still the best. For me? Well i need to go back t...

D' Original Matutina's Seafood Restaurant (Dagupan, Pangasinan)

Image
The first time I heard about Matutina's was a few years ago when it was mentioned in the Inquirer that it is a favorite Restaurant of Former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo. Since it was a long drive just to sample their food I had a hard time adjusting an open schedule just to go all the way to Pangasinan.  This morning we were able to finally find time to go all the way to Dagupan, Pangasinan to sample Matutina's. The one we went to is the D'Original Matutina's in Tondaligan, Dagupan, Pangasinan. They have another branch in Urdaneta Also. There is a Matutina's in Tarlac City but i guess this is not connected with the Matutina's. We Ordered the following: Sizzling Bangus - This was just Delicious. The Bangus was Milky. Meat was just perfect.  Inihaw na Pusit - Grilled to perfection. The Squid was tender. Buttered Shrimps - though it was not the buttter shrimp i wished for, the freshness of the shrimps made it good enough ...

Sixto Castelo Lopez Ancestral Housen (Casa Grande) @ Balayan, Batangas

Image
I noticed this house on our way to Balayan Church. It is an imposing house so it will be impossible not to notice it. Upon closer inspection I found a Marker indicating that it was the house of Don Sixto Castelo Lopez.  Don Sixto Castelo Lopez was a Revolutionary Propagandist and a friend of Dr Jose Rizal. They were classmates at the Ateneo de Manila. Sixto Lopez was one of the richest men in Balayan, he owned vast tracts of land in Batangas. Socialites Diana Jean Lopez and Marybeth Lopez de Leon are grandchildren of Don Sixto. Famous Model and Socialite Claudia Bermudez and Congresswoman of Tarlac Nikki Prieto Teodoro are Great Grand Children of Don Sixto.
