My dining experience would have been heavenly today but I found a piece of black hair in my palabok. I asked to change my order to bihon. I just paid extra. This wasn't the first time it happened at jd. Anyways, i love their siomai, Buko pie and chicken cordon bleu. For less than php 100, you can have a full meal with drinks. The cafe has a variety of breads, pastries and beverages. A must try when in Iloilo!

In this 3rd world country almost all are made from the cheapest of flours and sugars, and who knows what other toxic stuff... Not sure what the owners of these chain 'coffee' kiosks were thinking when they set up, but the end result of their lattes is not good: the smelly 'fake' milk puts any coffee flavour off, and the actual coffee is so weak as to argue that the cheap robusto beans are stale and years old, or not even coffee at all. Yes, good readers, that bad! But at only 70 pesos per small cup of mystery brew, the kuripots keep this loser in business. Little wonder that this rating merits so little... Although marginally better than Nescafe's horrible '3 in 1' that's the dreadful standard for most of the nation, better to save your change, bypass J. Co in SM City Mall or anywhere else! Go to Starbucks for a much better arabica bean drink (130p+). At least upon request there you get a solid smack of the arabica bean! And the milk doesn't stink and, if requested, enjoy a stronger brew especially with the extra shot (hint: order a grande in a short cup or mug and get what you may want?) Although also with some serious flaws, Bo's Coffee is much better, even though their beans are usually stale cheap robusto (115p). Ah, but I think the best solution is to buy some Starbuck's beans, and make your own at home for only 30-50p per strong cup! If strong-flavoured coffee from good beans and better preparation is your thing, don't waste your hard-earned coin at this pretender, okay? If toxic donuts are not your thing, minimize weight gain and insulin imbalance, and make better at home where you know what's in them, okay? Ah, but skip this loser, okay?

The coffee we ordered was great. Tasted strong and fresh. We also ordered several pastries (blueberry cheesecake, custard cake and brazos de mercedes). Our favorite was the blueberry cheesecake. The custard cake will skip next time. I would give 3-stars to their customer service. The cashier that day was not too friendly and not welcoming at all. Perhaps she had a long day or somethin'...

We came here to try the very local Media Puro (strong black coffee), and added some Muscovado sugar…read more(tasted and smelled like molasses) to sweeten this incredibly bold and intense coffee. We were later told that they prepare it by boiling the grounds for a long time. Unfortunately, the high acidity and caffeine turned out stomachs and we suffered the rest of the day. We had some Suman, which had tender sticky glutinous rice and a grated coconut topping with unrefined sugar syrup. It was delicious. The Puto was spongy, slightly tangy and fragrant. It would have been perfect with Dinuguan (pork blood stew) which I eyed greedily as someone at a table beside us had ordered it and seemed to be enjoying himself. I had ordered Tapsilog as well, but our server said it was not available but highly recommended the Corn(ed beef) silog, which turned out to be exceptional. The egg was perfectly fried with toasted edges and a slightly runny yolk. Rice had perfect grain texture and slightly slick with garlic oil. And the corned beef was velvety without having any oil runoff! Yes, the vibe is uber local, and old timers adore it here. Come for an authentic experience.

The first and last time I visited this city was in 2003. This city has improved so much with the…read morevarieties of activities to do including shopping and eating the best foods, fruits, beverages, etc. The roads are bigger and updated including the shopping centers and malls. I absolutely love this city even though I am not from here. Primarily, the reason for coming here is to visit my father-in-law. It's been a long while since I last saw him. It was a really nice visit because he is getting older and he is a character--full of life and laughter. The best part especially, is that he was very accommodating about our stay. It was very sweet of him to do so. He took us around the city including this very market before the big festival started. Here, you will find everything you need for souvenirs, snacks, all sorts of fruits, anything you need for cooking--the works! Anyway, you "cannot not eat" here! It might take some adjustments if you are known to be high class but for me, I am always down for the best experiences life has to offer. Your feet can get dirty and you might get into some little or lots of puddles along the way going in. I highly recommend being open to checking out an open market such as this where they sell meats, poultry and everything else! I had so much fun here. This city is truly known for the best mangoes in the world. Kid you not. Mangoes from Guimaras are the best! They have this beautiful yellow color and the fragrant is heavenly sweet. You can almost taste it even with its skin on. They are just as good if you prefer to eat them when they are green. So when you want to buy these babies from other places? Ask where it's from. When you hear Guimaras, you must buy! I love this market!

I can't tell you if its better to go at a certain time or not... I will say when there are more people there is more to see, more to do, more to absorb its just crazy cool here! I have come here as one for the tourist attraction because there are truly a thing of beauty! This large central market is pretty much home to anything you can think of. Pasalubongs. Food (Sarap Sarap!). Clothes. Games. People. You name it. If you are in the area they house the largest place to find any sort of souvenirs and they have them for fractions of the price you would pay at SM or SM City! at least 50% off! Thats a huge saver there! you just want to leave a good 2-3 hours maybe even 4 to set out so you aren't rushing through and miss something. You can't leave without buying a barrel man and woman hahahaha. The next thing here is the WET market! ITS REALLY WET!!! It rains all the dang time lol and its almost like an outside swap meet. They have covering over the market but of course something gets through so be sure to wear your anything shoes. The wet market is where vendors gather around to sell all the goods Rice Fish Produce Their rendition of food trucks, the street carts Desserts You name it!!!! Its really an experience you have to check out if you ever come to IloIlo City, Philippines. Just enjoy the people watching will blow your mind. watching all the races and blends of people gather and interact here is amazing. Watching the kids place throughout the market. Some will even try to hustle you, but you can't even be mad at them. #1 Rule! :Negotiate, Negotiate, NEGOTIATE ALL PRICING!!!! Have a take it or leave it type of offer and 9/10 times you will win :)
