Calda Pizza: A Supersized 36 inch Pizza !

by BobNewYork

There are always things happening in Iligan City and always things to look forward to. It was between my 2nd and 3rd visit when I learned, via internet, about the opening of Calda Pizza. The pre-opening article complete with photos indicated that the specialty of Calda Pizza would be the availablity of freshly made Pizza up to and including 36 inches in diameter ! I knew this would be a place to go on my next visit to Iligan city and it was obvious I would take some of my Iliganon friends along with me to enjoy it.Calda Pizza in Barangay Pala-o is located in a small area rapidly becomming known amoungst the locals as " The Strip ". There is a 24 hour convienience store located on one side of Calda Pizza and Sylvestros Bistro, a resto-bar located on the other side.A place serving 36 inch diameter Pizzas obviously requires a bit more than the average sized table so the picnic style,...

Jollibee, Tibanga Highway, Iligan City: My Fail Safe Place To Eat in Philippines

by BobNewYork

As a first time visitor to Philippines and a tropical climate, I was advised to visit a " travel Doctor " prior to my visit. I recieved a folder with info sheets and brochures about food and drink consumption in The Philippines. After reading these precautions it almost sounded as if I would have to bring my own food with me ! I decided that unless I could find some kind of " Fail Safe " place to eat, I would not go.One of the earliest internet pictures I had seen of Iligan City was of a fast food franchise " Jollibee " on Tibanga Highway. After spending many hours of websearching and research I knew I had found my " Fail Safe " source of food ! Jollibee is the largest fast food franchise in The Philippines and has been in business over 30 years. The founder of Jollibee studied the fast food business in the USA for 2 years. They have adopted strict and very high standards in the...

Chow King ( Tibanga Branch ): Chow King, Tibanga, Great Service & Convenient

by BobNewYork

The newest branch of Chow King in Iligan City opened a little over a year ago on the ground floor street side of the Elena Towers Hotel. Chow King is a fast food franchise featuring Filipino and other Asian style offerings. Chow King is under the parent company of Jollibee Foods Corp and there are many Chow King locations all over The Philippines.As you approach the entrance to Chow King ( Tibanga branch ) a security guard at the entrance will welcome you as well as the staff at the order counter where after placing your order and paying for it, your order will be delivered to your table in a short amount of time.This restaurant is clean and well maintained. The rest rooms are clean, well supplied and in good working order at the times I visited.I enjoyed breakfast here on several mornings as well as dinner in the evening. A traditional Filipino desert item is Halo Halo and Chow King has...

The Iliganon: Best Pizza I have had in decades !

by BobNewYork

Many of the places that attract my attention in Iligan City are derived from viewing pictures and videos of them on the Internet and The Iliganon was no exception to this. Located just outside of the busy downtown area of Iligan in barangay Pala-o it provides a relaxing atmosphere for enjoying the beverage of your choice and a very nice meal.As I would consider this a traditional restaurant with a wide variety of Filipino items on the menu this is what I anticipated to be an enjoyable experience and it certainly was. Since the first pictures I had seen of The Iliganon a few years prior to my visit, they had since added a rather complete Pizza Menu which attracted my attention. Although I did enjoy a traditional Filipino beef item I just couldn't keep my eyes off the pizza menu.As I was enjoying lunch with some of my Filipino friends it got to the point where I just could not hold back...

Fontina: (one of) ILIGANS NEWEST

by BobNewYork

There are always new things to see and do each time i visit Iligan and on my recent visit it included the sparkling new Fontina Restaurant opened mid year 2010. This clean, bright and cheerful dining establishment convieniently located next to Kingsway Inn on Tibanga Highway has rapidly become a popular place with Iliganons, along with domestic and international visitors.The menu features a wide variety of meals, beverages and deserts of local and internationally known favorites. If you desire to try something purely Filipino, it's all there for you. The food is individually prepared as opposed to production line style as found in chain or fast food restaurants.The service is excellent with a very hospitable and courtious staff. It may " seem " as though it may take a few minutes longer for your food to be delivered to your table than some other restaurants but that insures your order...

Zoey Cafe: Felt Like I never Left Home !

by BobNewYork

Can you be half way around the world from where you live, walk into a place for something to eat and feel like you were in your own home town ? This is how I felt the first time I walked into Zoey Cafe in Iligan City.Clean and bright, a warm and friendly welcome from the staff will greet you as you enter. A wide variety of local and universally known items appear on the menu and prepared in a home style manner. The food is well prepared and attractively served to your table usually within a short amount of time. Once you enter however, you may not be in such a hurry to eat and run as the local ambience of this place was something I found quite enjoyable.If you are a visitor / tourist on vacation, and on a diet, this is one of those places you let your diet go and enjoy yourself. For me another great feature of eating at Zoey Cafe is the deserts. This place has quite a reputation amoungst...

Iligan's Lechong Manok: Lechong Manok!

by DarleneCMF

Aside from the lechong baboy, you can also try the lechong manok Iligan-style. Lechong manok (roasted chicken) is a very popular food in Iligan city, judging by the number of places that carry this as the only offering, and the number of people that are in queue outside. The more popular ones are Tony's and Epay's, close to the only Jollibee branch in the city.Like the lechong baboy, Iligan's lechong manok is also cooked with the spices inside. It's way better than Andok's or Baliwag. And cheaper, too. One whole chicken is only ~P100.

Lechon along Tibanga Hi-way: Don't Miss the Lechong Baboy!

by DarleneCMF

When you are in Iligan City, you have to try "lechong baboy" (roasted pig) which is really, really good. Simply the best lechon I've had in my whole life! Iligan lechon is cooked with the spices inside so it's very flavorful and juicy. :) We always have lechon every Christmas. No celebration is complete without it.There are many stalls/restaurants along Tibanga Hi-way that sell lechon, but the most popular one is probably Dado's. Where you buy will not make too much of a difference (they're all good), just make sure you're still in Iligan. :) Lechong baboy

Zoey Cafe: Zoey Cafe

by DarleneCMF

Zoey Cafe is a popular food place located along Aguinaldo Street. They serve mostly snacks so the place is packed during mid-morning and mid-afternoon. The place can get noisy as groups frequent this place. In Zoey's, you are given the order list and you write down your orders. I find it really convenient and efficient.Food is ok and reasonably-priced. We had the fish fillet sandwich, carbonara, strawberry milkshare and bottled water for P162 (less than $3).
