Food 🦐 Food Wars | Week 6: Best Seafood in Iloilo

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Welcome to Week 6 of our Food Wars series!

Last week, we tackled one of Iloilo's biggest food debates: batchoy. This week, we're moving from the bowl to the sea.

Where's the Best Seafood in Iloilo?

Iloilo is surrounded by water, so naturally, we have plenty of places to get fresh seafood. From grilled fish and prawns to oysters, scallops, crabs, and everything in between, there are plenty of ways to enjoy the bounty of Panay.

So we're asking the community:

Where do you go when you're craving seafood?

Tell us your favorites!

  • What's your favorite seafood restaurant in Iloilo?
  • What dish should everyone try?
  • Where do you get the freshest seafood?
  • Best place for a seafood feast with family?
  • Best seafood spot for a date?
  • Best value for money?
  • Any underrated places that deserve more attention?

Feel free to share photos of your favorite dishes too!

  • Share recommendations based on your own experience.
  • Tell us what you ordered and roughly how much it cost.
  • Respect that everyone has different tastes.
  • If you're connected to a business you're recommending, please mention your affiliation.
  • If someone already mentioned your favorite, add your own experience or upvote their comment.

As always, we're not trying to crown an official winner.

We're building a community guide to help everyone discover great places to eat around Iloilo.

So, where's your go-to seafood spot?

Let's hear it! 🦐

Welcome to Week 5 of our community series!

We've spent the past month discovering some of the best coffee shops, hidden gems, and budget eats around the city. Now it's time to settle one of Iloilo's biggest food debates.

Who serves the best Batchoy in Iloilo?

La Paz Batchoy is one of Iloilo's most iconic dishes and a source of pride for many Ilonggos. Every local seems to have a favorite, whether it's a famous institution that's been around for decades or a small neighborhood shop that deserves more recognition.

Tell us your favorite!

  • Which batchoy shop is your favorite?
  • What do you usually order?
  • What makes it stand out?
  • Is it worth the trip?
  • Is there a hidden gem more people should know about?

So, where should everyone go for their next bowl?

Happy eating! 🍜

Other Things that I enjoy as a long term tourist in Iloilo City

People Watching - it’s a hobby that you only do is just to observe people doing their own things and interactions in public places.

This place is by far peak People Watching, just sitting there on the highest floor enjoying my coffee. You’re like in a God-mode or Observer Mode, frozen in time. You observe what the people in your colony do. Do they get the freshest fish? Did they do great in haggling? Are the stocks already low? Or are they just like you, an observer.

I am also jealous on how this place is organized and clean.

Edit: removed extra I

Discussion Brownouts in Iloilo? Blame Cebu

14 Upvotes

The series of brownouts here in Iloilo? Basulon ta ang Cebu. Gamay ang power nila didto, that's why ang NGCP sa aton ga kuha through Negros. Reason nila? Kay bastante aton reserve supply. Ang ending kita ga antos sa mga rotating brownouts, while Cebu enjoys the power that we gave.

Travel Place to stay Really Need help

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I need some help/recommendations po. 😊

Can you recommend affordable and decent places to stay near Grand Xing Imperial Hotel, Iloilo City?

It will be my first time traveling to Iloilo, and this is for a work-related trip, so I’m not very familiar with the area. I’m also trying to stay within a budget, so I’m looking for alternatives to booking a regular hotel.

I’m considering:

🏠 Airbnb / condo

🏡 Apartment or transient room

🛏️ Room for rent / pension house

🏨 Budget hotel

Preferably close to Grand Xing Imperial Hotel and in a safe/decent area. It would initially be for 2 adults, but there’s a possibility that some of my coworkers may join, so a place that can accommodate more people would be a plus.

I’m okay with something a little more expensive as long as it’s clean, decent, safe, and worth the price.

📅 Tentative stay: February 17–20 or 21, 2027 (around 4–5 days)

If you know any places around the area, please recommend them. Even if you don’t know the exact price, just the name/location is already a big help—I’ll check them online. 😊

Thank you so much in advance! 🙏

For those planning to settle here, please go someplace else. Save yourself the hassle. Y*dip*ta gid ya, daw kada week na lang may brownout. Good thing nga naka bakal nako powerstation. Pero kaulugot gid ya. Dugang mo pa gid ang Converge, kung mag brown out, wala man connection. Bakal bakal pako UPS sang router, wala man gali pulos.

Question Is anyone here a fan of tamagotchi?

4 Upvotes

I'm a collector and I originally come from Manila. I'm part of a local dedicated community for tamas there but most of them are based in Metro Manila. They usually host meetups and table at artist alleys.

Ayun lang, I was just wondering if anyone here is currently playing or used to be a collector din. I can help you unlock characters that require playdates with tamas from another device. Andddd medyo long shot but if you have any vintages tamas you'd like to sell din. Haha

I just want to raise an awareness sa mga sumasakay ng jeep specially sa girls na maikli yung palda.

Nagtataka ako bat pag tumitingin ako sa sidemirror ng jeep (katabi ako ni driver) tuhod ko yung nakikita ko. Not until pumwesto ako sa likod ng driver and I saw this.

I'm so sorry for taking a picture.

Daw harap harapan nga gina into nila mga botante nila mismo haw? Daw mapati nako tani eh.

Kaso nakita ko ang presyo kag ang comparison sang presyo sa comsec sa FB. Even if you Google it yourself, wala sang similar price sa same or similar equipment, even if you include the shipping fee.

Ano ni sila, mga wala huya, mga wala kalag? 🤮🤮🤮.

Ano ning mga corrupt mga wala ma luoy sa mga future sang mga kabataan? 🤮.

❗Note: this post wasn't made to criticize or single out a specific politician, this is about the overpricing ALLEGATIONS originated from FB, which actually has a point.

So don't even try to defend a politician like an effing god like what the DDS are doing, it's disgusting.❗

Okay, indi na gid ya mapunggan ang MLD/Manual load dropping. Best that they could do is announce ahead of time kung ano nga feeder kag asta ano oras. Kibot nalang ya nag brownout tapos kakapost lang nila 5 minutes ago. Kag ngaa wala ni ya comment mga politiko ta haw? This is a HUGE concern already.
