It was our last day in Iloilo and we thought we'd drop by Perri Todd's to take out their burger for dinner at the airport. Their burgers are HUGE! It was almost the same size as my partner's head, I swear. Their servings are good for sharing. Try their cheesy mushroom premium burger.
Favorite Dish: The only dish I tried was their premium cheesy mushroom burger. It was tasty. The restaurant may have a hefty serving of all their dishes but they do not sacrifice the taste.

The Book Latte is a new coffee shop that is creating quite a buzz here in Iloilo. It’s not the usual coffee shop – they would like to be known as a “revolutionary coffee shop” because it is the first of its kind in the nation to be perfectly complemented by a library!
The Book Latte has an impressive collection of books. Some coffee shops have books but they don’t allow their customers to take them home. But in Book Latte, simply become a member and borrow a book to take home or curl up with your book of choice on one of their comfortable lounges while enjoying coffee made from the richest, organic beans. They have over 1,000 books, magazines, learning materials and periodicals to choose from in a wide range of categories like classics, popular fiction, motivational, romance, business, reference, young adult books and more.
Now let’s talk about their coffee. Book Latte provides premium coffee and drinks with more than 30 flavors to choose from. And they say that all their beans are ‘organic which means that they have no flavor enhancers or fertilizers.’ They like to think of themselves as an “eco-café” because they do not use plastic utensils or cutlery and they don’t like Styrofoam products; all of their appliances are energy savers and their taps are equipped with low flow water heads. Aside from the organic coffee they also offer healthy juices and shakes, coffee laced with liquor and alcoholic cakes! They also serve affordable daily breakfasts. And another great thing about this café is that everything on their menu is less than Php100!
So here’s how to become a member at Book Latte. You need to fill out a membership form and show a valid student ID (if you’re a student) or employee’s ID (if you’re employed) or a passport/driver’s license for those who are not employed. If you’re less than 12 years old then your parent’s signature is needed to become a member. Only residents of Iloilo and Filipino citizens are allowed to become members. Annual membership rates for students is Php180 per annum while for non-students is Php220 per annum. Membership entitles you to a lot of perks!
Book Latte opens at 9am to 8pm on Monday to Saturday. You can contact them for inquiries – 333-2574. Located at Quezon Street, (from Robinsons Place Iloilo National Bookstore Exit, turn right and walk roughly 2 minutes until you see Condura Golden Appliance). So apply for membership at Book Latte now and I assure you that you will not regret it because I applied for membership myself the first time I went there! This is the place for us coffee lovers and bookworms!

Part two of my Breakthrough Restaurant Tips with more pictures
This Seafood Restuarant is one of the two popular sea food restaurants in Iloilo City, the other one is at Tatoy's. Located among the arrays of seafood restaurants along Villa Beach in Arevalo District, Breakthrough Seafood Restaurant offers local seafoods that are freshly caught and even 'live" seafoods which you can just point at the aquariums and they will cook them accordingly, which they say is “better than fresh LIVE”. This restuarant can be packed with locals and tourists everyday and is located beside a beach facing guimaras island. They offer regional Illongo seafood delicacies and other Filipino dishes ranging from crabmeats, grilled pantat, kinilaw nga tanige to lechon baboy and Kansi (ilonngo bulalo).

Helpfulness
Since we were not familiar with the restaurants in the city yet, we decided to go to Robinson's mall on our first day to look for any restaurant that will fancy our hungry tummies. We saw Hongkong Kitchen and the pictures of their Chinese cuisine instantly appealed to us.
Once inside the restaurant, I instantly felt the Chinese atmosphere. The interior was very attractive, with the red-painted walls and big pictures of Chinese food. Their black and red Chinese lamps as well as the red-cushioned chairs contrasted well with the bright walls.
I looked over their menu while waiting for our order. Hongkong Kitchen has something to offer for you no matter how much your budget is. They serve noodles, dimsum, congee, yang chow, rice toppings and other Chinese specialties. Hongkong Kitchen became popular to health buffs because it promises to serve only Chinese foods without too much oil and monosodium glutamate (MSG).
The food we ordered were served after a long time, but I was in a forgiving mood because it was the Dinagyang season, that's why there were so many diners that time.
We ate twice at this restaurant so that's an indication that we liked their foods there.
Favorite Dish: I loved their dimsums especially the chicken feet, and I also liked their roasted duck.
