Food Trip at Asia's Latin City

I was in Zamboanga from the afternoon of July 26 to the morning of July 29. I was with some co-teachers to attend a training there. On our arrival, we stopped at a food court in Sta Maria. The beef stew was so delicious. We decided to stay at a pension house in Baliwasan. Here are some the accounts of our food trip, which we unexpectedly experienced in Asia's Latin City.

Breakfast at D Twins Fried Chicken @ San Jose Rd. Baliwasan

(Beef Tapa, Fried Rice, Sunny-Side-Up Egg, Balbakuwa, Hot Tea)

The beef was really tender and moist. Balbakuwa was truly savory. A serve of P 55 could be enjoyed by four.






Dinner at Chowkings @ the City's Commercial Center
(Pork Lauriat)

Added to the soft pork fillet, the stir fried noodles, rice, fried dumpling, crunchy chips and the sesame seed coated dumpling offer a mouth-watering and satisfying meal after a long walk around the city. Just be sure to have a drink as your mouth would surely be stuffed; you might get choked.

Night Snacks @ the Boulevard
(Balut and Tempura)

Nowadays, the vendors are not anymore allowed to sell at the boulevard area. Just a short walk from the seaside, the balut vendors situate themselves in a street near the City Library. Other stuffs sold are tempura and chicharon. In my case with my friends, we bought some food stuffs and had them eaten at a bench in the boulevard.

A Drink at Paseo del Mar
(Fried Peanuts and Tanduay Ice)

One of the city's major attraction, Paseo del Mar has so much to offer. I enjoyed a bottle of Tanduay Ice and had deep fried peanuts as pulutan.

Snacks at Mindpro's Food Courts
(Squid Balls, Kiquiam and Shawarma)

I have always been enjoying eating at Mindpro's Food Courts. Last Wednesday, I tasted the "Shawarma" upon the recommendation of a friend. I had Gulaman-Buko as my drink.

Manang Terry's Chicken Inato @ Canelar
(Grilled Chicken Pecho, Bijon Guisado, Bulalo)

Although the chicken is not as good-grilled as in Ati-atihan or Mang Inasal, the ambiance of the place is great for a food trip. As for the group, we loaded our tummies with grilled chicken, bulalo and bihon guisado.





Now the price? Added kilograms and lessened savings! But I should not set aside the memory we have made. We have become even closer and no amount of diet or peso can pay the bonding moments we made on our food trip at Asia's Latin City.
