- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- This is your ultimate guide to Iloilo, Philippines and we are sharing the best eats as recommended by the locals! Iloilo City was recently declared by UNESCO as the first City of Gastronomy in the country-a testament to the city’s dedication in preserving its culinary traditions. Let’s venture into the city’s famous restaurants and hidden eateries that serve the tastiest La Paz Batchoy and the freshest seafood as we learn about the city’s rich heirloom ingredients from Chef Rafael “Tibong” Jardeleza Jr.. But that’s not all, we’ll also be uncovering the secrets of the rare artisanal Miagao “Budbud” Salt that is traditionally handmade in the province!
Aside from the usual spots for Batchoy like Deco’s, Alicia’s, and Netong’s, we also paid a visit to another foodie institution: Roberto’s. This was one of the best surprises of our visit, so stay with us until the end. Do you want to see more of these travel videos?

I'm Cebuano, but I actually think that Iloilo has the best cuisine in the Philippines. Sure Pampanga is named the culinary capital, but Iloilo has it better for me. Though I've only been there once, it's the food that I can never forget. I used to be very picky with food, Ilonggo cuisine opened up my palette and made me learn to explore. The plethora of flavour profiles is incomparable I think.
I agree with you❤😊
Totoo. As an ilongga, living in cebu for 8 yrs didnt change my ilonggo palate😂. It took me 2 mos pra mag adjust sa timpla ng mga food sa mga carenderia. In restos okay nmn kc standardized nmn ung timpla nila across all branches.
Ilonggo food is uncomplicated but the Ilonggo palette is very picky, hence they only want the best food.
I agree
I think Cebu and Iloilo have good foods. ❤
solid talga yung mga food documentary dito.. pwede nga tong pang netflix eh.. ganto yung tinatawag ng magandang content at magandang influencer...
true
Agree
cuz erwan don't talk too much
That saltmaker is a freakin' HERO!! I love her and her family. Protect her at all cost.
She should be features more in Newpapers and other Media TVs. She is the new generation of Philippines Heroes in this Gadget Era.
😂😂😂
Grabe naman ung last few mins ni ate Lor, naiyak ako. Dama mo yung passion niya sa pagaasin and eagerness to revive the almost gone tradition. Biruin mo, willing siya to go places to share her knowledge and help the salt industry. Mabuhay po kayo and ang pamilya niyo, ate Lor! Nawa'y laging summer time!
The food guide in this episode is very knowledgeable. Chef Rafael is One of the food guides that really stands out for me.
Agreee 💯. Kudooos featr 🤍
Author of the award winning FLAVORS OF ILOILO cookbook, too.
Showcasing the Asindera reminds the youth and the local government units to appreciate the beauty of the traditional way of making salt, and also to value the hardworking Filipinos. Kudos to your family, ma'am.
True✨
I'm Kapampangan and now living here in Iloilo. Namit foods sobra! Tumaba ako dito hahaha
parang masarap mag buro kasama yung dalupani hahaha
Huhu best part ung asin! Hope that asindera is doing well. Pwede siya magconduct ng lecture and training. She's very articulate and engaging.
Uploaded on the last day of Iloilo's Dinagyang Festival too! The day when the best of the city and province's cuisine are showcased alongside Ilonggo talent and revelry. Thank you for featuring our beloved hometown. ❤
Great respect for the Asindera…amazing
Hopefully people can continue the salt making…authentic
One that mesmerizes me with Erwan and his contents is being different. Walang arte unlike other content creators. This one reached even the depths of the Iloilo food history. This needs to be featured and awarded by the city. FUN FOODIE FRIENDLY ILOILO ❤
Now i know why they were awarded the Gastronomy capital of the Philippines! Everything is just deliciously amazing! booking a boatride tomorrow and eat there since im sooo close! -Bacolodnon here ❤
pumunta kami dyan ng friend ko sa iloilo dahil lng sa batchoy.. breakfast lunch dinner puro batchoy... at siopaw robertos... sarap ng batchoy.. iloilo lang tlga pg masarap na batchoy kahit saang bansa ka pumunta...
Kahit sa mga maliit na batchoyan masarap tlga ang batchoy nila😁
Ginamos is alamang?
@@maalatIlonggo Ginamus looks and taste different. It is mostly if the grey or brown variant. The red one is rarely used.
Ang linis ng palengke nila
1:01:50 the Lady has a true Filipino heart! this should be the standard characteristics of Philippines Law makers. Instead of importing salt why continue the old practices of producing local salt as it promote more jobs to locals and Iloilo City economy. - Personal Opinion only
The extensive effort of your team to showcase indigenous cuisines is greatly appreciated. It’s inspirational to preserve traditional practices and recognize the richness and diversity of our local cultures. ❤
how fascinating this woman na asindiera, very passionate on her work and wants to continue the legacy of the Phil. tradition from one generation to the next.Salut!
PEOPLE, , FOOD, CLEANLINESS AND OLD STRUCTURES...yan nagpapaganda sa iloilo
I’m in Iloilo now visiting for the first time. Your vlog inspired me to come here
Laking pampanga ako, dito pinanganak. Both parents ko taga IloIlo. Totoo nga, masarap pag kain sa iloilo. Kahit mga luto ng parents ko masarap. Magaganda din mga dagat at maraming pasyalan. Malalambing sila kahit galit. So, IloIlo for me is da BEST!! 👌❤️
Wow, being Filipino American you think you know your Filipino food pretty well. I have Pangasinan and Ilocano roots, so I already know about the more “obscure” dishes. But this particular episode has kinda opened my eyes to a new scope in our cuisine. I’m headed to the motherland very soon and can’t wait to dive in!
Enjoy your homecoming trip! Check out the rest of our videos for some itinerary ideas.
@@featrmedia thx brother, subscribed na!
This content is perfect! will visit Iloilo this March! 😌
I ate the real version of Valenciano, kumoleto rekados..ung my greenpeas, atay ng baboy, bits of pork, red&green bellpepper, raisins (yes, my raisins daw orig na recipe),tapos boiled egg.. sarap ng combi ng salty sticky rice at sweetness ng raisins..basta ibang klase..ung dika titigil kumain..
with hotdog pa minsan 😊. As an Ilongga really my favorite since when I was little. Masarap din pag mejo nabatok/crispy ang bottom ng pag luto ng valenciana.
@@docriztigbauan7596 ung tutong masarap nga (medyo sunog crunchy part) .. na-try ko ung bagong luto mainit pa, at ung malamig din same na masarap..
As someone who grew up in Miag ao and literally experienced this traditional way of making salt brings back memories of childhood. Part time taga dilig para pag uwi, may asin kang dala sa bahay. 😁
1:03:00 very well versed si ma'am. Better than most of the graduates ng 4 yr course.
There’s not a lot of channels out here that dedicate this good of a research effort and have a good amount of willingness to try a lot of things off the beaten track. I appreciate this channel! Kudos
One of the best place where you can have everything you want when it comes to delicious foooood, proud Ilonga here especially estancia as the Alaska of Philippines for fresh seafoods
I saw this just in time for our trip to Iloilo in two weeks. It will be very helpful. Thank you for sharing it.
Knowing more about our country through the dishes makes me proud …. Makes me more eager to be adventurous …. The Philippines has so much to offer for foreigners and locals ! 🤗
Thank You FEATR for featuring my HOMETOWN ILOILO.
Thank You FEATR for featuring our different food in different places in the Philippines and the story itself. Kudos FEATR!.
Proud Ilongga Here..Thank you kuys Erwhan for visiting..❤

57:02 she's so passionate, dedicated to what she does. made me cry 🤍🤍
What an amazing video. So touching watching the artisanal sea salt lady. I love her! What do Filipinos think of Iloilo? This seems like a hidden secret? Clean city, green, beautifully restored heritage sites, not so crowded, intriguing cuisine! Are there beautiful beaches? Hmmm, need to stop by when I visit the Philippines!
Daming good foods sa Iloilo, batchoy with puso, yung kansi nila at chicken inasal napakasarap.
Filipino Cuisine is Second to none 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Definitely!

The extensive effort of your team to showcase indigenous cuisines is greatly appreciated. It’s inspirational to preserve traditional practices and recognize the richness and diversity of our local cultures.😁😍
Kala ko si Erwan si erwan pala. 😊 Punta nga dyan sa iloilo para matikman ang foods dyan. Sarap daw foods ng mga ilonggo.
Pinamalhan, namit! Mapaparami k ng kanin 😊
Burger plus Molo = my dad's favorite combo. From Bacolod here :)
I’m from Negros Occidental, where Bacolod City is located. We are called Ilongga. I cooked ilonggo’s cuisine also here in Germany. And i’m Proud ilongga. Kahit saan man kami mapadpad na lugar sa mundo.. Di pa rin talaga mawawala ang taste natin sa pagkaing pinoy.. especially Ilonggo’s Cuisines. 😍
Kinahanlan ta mag himu sang mga kanta parti sa pag ka ilonggo na Indi lang sa Iloilo. Padayon ang maayo nga gin bilin sa aton sang mga ka tigulangan.
Thank you for appreciating our food being a Ilongga or born in iloilo the food is really til about a ilonggo
Truly Iloilo wasn't given by UNESCO as a city of gastronomy for no reason ...me like🤤 ,an ilongga here missing all these dishes...btw that "diwal" though is huge 😅...thanks guys for showcasing the ilonggo cuisine ❤
I was amazed with the asindera story that was rare. Thankk you po
Thank you for showcasing our hometown. This was wonderfully made!
"ka gwapo sang bana ni Anne" hahahahah says one lady on the backdrop ahahah =)
Yeah definitely a highlight
WOW. I guess I’ll try to squeeze in Iloilo for my PH vacation! Just for the food! 😂
Great idea
I LOVE IT! THANKS SO MUCH FOR FEATR FOR THIS! I LOVE THIS KIND OF FOOD SERIES! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! MORE POWER!
This is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever bumped into. I love how you guys focused on the traditions and cultures. I appreciate how you advocate for dying industries and promote social awareness in a subtle way without getting too political. Great channel!
Grabe kamiss mga foods 😋 originally from Neg. Occ halos pareho mga luto 😋
HAPPY DINAGYANG FESTIVAL 🎉
thank you so much for featuring Iloilo and our cuisine. god bless
My family lived in Lapaz since the 1920's until now, there were a lot of batchoy makers according to my Lola, it's basically the go to food of drivers, market vendors, and almost everybody since it's soup based and easy to eat. It's basically a meat soup with noodles.
Liked..shared. thnx for featuring Iloilo cuisine. 😋
That's it! Im going to Iloilo!!
Proud here! Thank you for sharing ...nice!
thank you for making my whole capiz trip itinerary can’t wait to visit iloilo!!
I am from Iloilo and batchoy is one of my favorite foods here in Iloilo. I used to eat batchoy in Poypoy’s but this video excites me to try Decos as they they have tried and labeled it as the best batchoy among those❤️
Thanks for the comprehensive ideas and insights into the Philippines and Filipino foods.
❤❤❤ proud ilonggo here
Best food 😋
It really is an honor for my home province to be recognized like this. It would however be even better if we started making documentaries using Tagalog or in this case Ilongo language...ka ilinit nga mga indi taga iloilo amo pa to naga kuwarta halin sa aton nga pagka Ilongo...
I wanna try everything I saw in this video. Grrrrr!!!!
So happy my Grandpa the late Pantalein Villegas taught us to eat good food! Hamonada, Aroz a la Valenciana, Torta(dessert) during fiestas and humba! Of course his home made ice cream and cakes❤
Proud ilongga/ waray❤
Pata lilaga is the best soup ever 🍲❤❤🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️so super spicy 🔥🌹hindi ako ilonggo pero masarap po ❤❤❤
nkakatakam tuloy 🤣🤣🤣
ilang taon na akong di nkapunta ng iloilo..
kahiridlaw magpuli ba hehe
hello featr!!! you really read our comments. thank you that you featured NORA’’S EATERY more in this video. you should come back to try the adobadong alimusan. i’m glad that you tried the abo fish. that’s my late dad’s favorite. dried fish abo that has been place in the basket to get rotten. then it ill be rinsed with water and pat dry and fried in oil as a any dried fish. ILONGGO food really stands because of its simplicity. It took pride with the freshness of the ingredients and the meat, mostly marinated with salt only. GRILLED MANAGAT is the best. the head is best cooked as sinabawan. Again thank you! HAPPY DINAGYANG!!❤❤
Great video of the good explanation and showing yummy various food. Like!!
Thank you for this content. Its awesome, and perfect.
Best part ung asin grabe an passion nya tp.produce salt the tradional way. Sana ganon din ang

Hi Erwan et al, was in Iloilo last March 2024, went to at least 3 of your featured eateries in this particular video, had an extraordinary yummy experiences at Breakthrough, Nora's and Beige. Had mango pizza in Guimaras, too. G'day from Aussieland 🇦🇺.
Im drooling….need to go to Iloilo asap!
grabihay mani uy, veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy amazing kaayo ang mga documentaries
Best food documentary.
Can’t wait to go back to Iloilo!
I got tired just watching you eat. LOL
On a more serious note, though, thank you for featuring our food and our city. Makes me doubly proud to be born and raised here.
P.S. Salam-ukan is just outside the subdivision I live in, and all that good food in my area now makes me wanna go out and get some! Happy Sunday!
I wanted to visit Iloilo because of this vlog, mygosh.. 😍😍😍🤤🤤🤤
Love this content.❤❤
Wow this is amazing. I learn a lot more from your vlog. I was born there, seems so much to explore.
Ang galing ni Madam... salamat po talaga sa inyo.. I agree na hindi dapat ganun yung mindset ng gobyerno na "ba't pa tayo gagawa kung pwede mag-import" kase kung titignan mo yung first world countries na puro import hindi na nila alam gumawa ng sarili nila nung nagpandemya. Sustainability ba.
Ps. yung bubod kinda sound like yung tapuy budbud
Importing puts money in their pockets I’ve heard. 😢
Please try RML manokan. The most famous manokan here in Capiz. It’s not so known to those who live outside of Capiz kasi di sila nag bbranch out. But over 30 years na sila.
Natira nadin ako ng iloilo and bacolod,but for me, RML parin. Lahat ng taga dito, alam nila RML ang the best.
Sa sobrang sarap ng timpla nila, yung waiter nila na 30+ years nag work sa kanila, nag tayo ng sariling manokan pareho nung lasa sa rml, sikat na din sila ngayon samin.
Correct idol. Taga Capiz din Ako favorite ko Yan sa RML inihaw na manok.. ❤ not juicy Yung manok nila. Sarap
RML sa Rizal. Theeee best! @@litsridesmoto3622
Huhu chef Martin is such a cutie 😍😍😍😍😍😍
