Diotay's

Reviewed By Mgyusay

They have amazingly flavorful food. This restaurant is located in one of the side streets in the city. You will know you are near because the traffic slows down and you see a lot of pedestrians crossing the street (customers coming and going). Upon arrival, make sure you secure a table before you line up to chose your food otherwise they wouldn’t entertain you. While falling in line, you need to glance at the assortment of fresh seafood being offered and you need to mentally prepare your order. They accept 1/4 K as smallest order. Example 1/2 Kilo of squid cooked adobo style and another 1/2 kilo cooked sizzling, 1 kilo of shrimps cooked in garlic butter, 1 big slice of fish cooked sinigang style and another slice cooked with garlic, scallops, chicken ..... After ordering, they give you a number so the waiter bring to you your order once it is cooked. They have very fast service , at the table, you order for your rice and drinks. As I said they have very tasty food. I think part of the experience is the ambience. The restaurant is a hole in the wall and crudely made up of several levels with long tables and chairs next to each other. They have an airconditioned room but its always full so if you want to stay there you will have to wait for your turn. Actually the whole restaurant is always full. Its noisy because of the crowd. But then the ambience is part of the experience, and when the food is served, everything was well worth the wait.

Reviewed By Wreckxki

We were super busy the whole day so we were super hungry by dinner. From Lakawon to Ruins then to Manokan Country. There are a lot of food stalls available. So you just have to find the place with a good deal :) We ordered Isol, Paa, Petcho, Isaw and Atay/Puso. And of course a lot of rice and softdrinks that goes perfect with Inasal. It is super delicious!!! especially with Chicken oil :) The staff are very attentive! We super super love it! very very authentic Inasal compare to the Inasal we are used to in Manila.Highly recommended if you visit Bacolod. It is just across SM. .

I read such good reviews of this place that I made it a must-go for dinner in the 1 night I spent in Bacolod with my colleagues. Since I recommended the place, I did have quite high expectations of this restaurant.Upon entering, the decor and service was promising, but unfortunately, food wise, it was not a really memorable dinner. Our group of 3 had the asparagus soup, fish, pork chop and octopus and mixed vegetables, and nothing was outstanding or different in any way. Prices ware reasonable, just that perhaps reviewers gave it a much higher rating than what it really is. Our lunch the next day at a simple canteen was much more tasty and satisfying than 21.

Chicken House

Reviewed By Gerry C

On our last night of our 3 nights vacation, and because it is near our hotel (Avenue Suites), we decided to try this restaurant and their famous Chicken Inasal. The restaurant is spacious, clean, but non-air conditioned. It offers live band music on weekends. Like the Chicken Inasal of Nena's Beth, it is also flavorful and juicy. In fact their chicken is bigger than that of Nena's Beth. I also ordered their La Paz Batchoy which was somewhat disappointing because the soup is diluted and the serving is small. The waiters though are welcoming and efficient.

There's an ongoing Negrense Fair at Glorietta and we were fortunate to have come upon the event last week just when started. One kiosk with a steady queue is El Ideal, a Bacolod landmark serving the most popular pasalubong this side of the island. Im so happy the Manila/Makati folks were treated to this otherwise hard to come by treats. We indulged on their fresh lumpia ubod, chicken empanada, barquillos by the bags and caramel tarts. The lumpia and empanada we feasted on right away (as one should) - while the barquillos, we enjoy one tube at a time. Prices are most affordable and service by Negrense staff were most cordial.

Just like many other islands in Central Philippines, the island of Negros is famous for its fresh seafood cuisine. Simultaneously delicious and cheap. But if there are many excellent restaurants when it comes to marlin, tuna, grouper, crabs, scallops, squid and other bounties of the sea, then the competition shifts to the restaurant ambience. For many living in the capital, Bacolod City, Edgewaters is just about the place to unwind, with the near perfect ambience. Bamboo huts on stilts, the refreshing smell of saltwater in the air, the right amount of breeze, an undisturbed view of the sea and the next island -- the fresh delicious seafood, with cold beers a-plenty, becomes the crowning glory of a lazy, late, absolutely enjoyable lunch.

Me and my friend ordered Bihon short order and a pitcher of Iced Tea. It took them 30 minutes to serve our orders even when there weren't many customers dining. It took us more than 5x to catch the crew's attention to follow up our orders but they seem to not care at all. There is one lady wait staff who totally ignored us and when we kept on asking her, she rudely said "your order is already followed up" if I was in the mood to rant to her manager I would, but I don't want to end my day with stress since its my first time to visit this bakery.The bihon tasted bland, and I would not recommend it to anyone.

The pili squares are made of confectioned pili nuts on a thin bed of filo pastry. It's AMAZING. The store is in Silay, right outside the city of Bacolod.
