My cousin Rose Hibionada-Flores and her hubby, Mike of Los Angeles, California are in Iloilo right now for a couple of weeks vacation. Based on the photos she posted in Face Book very recently, Ilonggo foods is in their prime agenda ( I can tell!). Allow me to share with you some of the photos she took and my thoughts about Ilonggo foods.
One peculiar observation I made during my last vacation there is that, Ilonggos are very “patriotic” when it comes to eating foods. I am very close in saying that they stay in their comfort zone and does not want to get out of it. Who would not be, when one grows with and satisfied with Ilonggo foods, why bother venturing out? Not to mention their peso value stretches a long way with Ilonggo foods! This observation was drawn first hand while I was having dinner at a Japanese and Thai restaurants in Smallville. Only a handful people inside the said resto could be seen. Whereas, just beside it or just across the street, or elsewhere, Ilonggo restaurants are teeming with people enjoying the inasal na manok or the siopao they love to eat. What a contrast I learned so quicky during my 6-weeks vacation there. Nevertheless, such scenarios are good for local businesses, assuring them of Ilonggo patronization and the survival of their businesses.
