-From Iloilo City, you will pass by Oton Church and the public market before reaching Allan's
-Oton is the oldest town in Panay Island - the 3rd oldest in the Philippines after Manila and Cebu
-The first Oton Church has a blending of a Greek or Byzantine architectural plan
-It was destroyed by an earthquake last 1948
-Original church has a distinct and huge retablo mayor which is not common in churches in the Philippines
-You can either drop off at the church before heading to Allan's or eat at Allan's first and move back to town center to see the church

-Orders took too long to be served though it was worth the wait
-Very cheap but tasty and fresh
-Paid Php 200 for baked talaba, stuffed grilled squid (lucas on the receipt) and 2 cups of rice

Favorite Dish: -The best baked talaba of Iloilo Province

-Very easy access to reach the town of Oton
-From Molo in Iloilo City, all passenger jeepneys bound for Guimbal, Miag-ao and San Joaquin pass by Oton via the coastal highway in Iloilo Province

Favorite thing: -To Allan's from Oton Town (public market), need to take another jeepney with signage “Oton Derecho”
-A local of Oton says that Allan's first restaurant is closer to town but they moved to another (farther to town center going to Guimbal direction)
-But it is still conveniently accessible for about 5 minute jeepney ride and now beside Soriano's Beach Resort
