Classic Ilonggo Food

When visiting a new place, what do you remember best? What can you see, touch, smell, taste, and even hear? Food. Food!

The prevailing culinary art and food preferences of its people are essential components that can explain the evolution of such society since food is always associated with historical struggles and cultural development. Japanese eat exotic food because Japan used to be a very poor country and their people have to eat anything they can find. Despite the current developments in Japan, their food specialty still reflect their past.

Just like Japanese, dishes in Iloilo City are very special. They are a combination or what we have before, what the Spaniards, Chinese, and Americans gave us, and what nature gave us.

La Paz Batchoy

Lapaz Batchoy  is now becoming a national favorite with the well-selling franchises of Deco’s and Ted’s Old Timer. The very famous Ilonggo noodle dish was named after Lapaz, Iloilo City. 

The Lapaz market is the original home of Lapaz Batchoy.

Batchoy’s main ingredient is noodles and pork. The people of Lapaz, Iloilo enriched the recipe with the variety of special locally found ingredients added to the mix.

If you want to taste Lapaz Batchoy, I personally recommend heading to Ted’s Diversion. It has a good location because it is near Iloilo Esplanade. And it is housed together with another must-go, Dulgies, a one-of-a kind dessert bar.

If you cant get enough of Lapaz Batchoy and you're not from Iloilo, here's a video by PanlasangPinoy.com on how to cook Lapaz Batchoy.

Pancit Molo

The Pancit Molo is sought-after Ilonggo soup dish. It is an adaptation of Chiness wanton soup. It is named after Molo, Iloilo City. It is distinct from other noodles. It relaxes you from all-day's work. It is also very healthy.

Here's a picture of Pancit Molo from Sosyalan.com

Setting itself apart from the typical pancit, pancit molo is not dry but soupy and it does not make use of long, thin noodles but instead wanton wrappers made from rice flour. This one-of-a-kind combination of ingredients gives you a new eating adventure. See another article for cooking Pancit Molo

Here's a video on how to cook pancit molo.

Native Lechon Manokan

A number of Ilonggo Restaurants is proud of their unique and sumptuous receipts of native lechon manok. Check out Tatoy’s Manokan, home of unforgettable roasted chicken. It is located in Villa, Iloilo.

Binakol nga Manok

Rich-flavored and healthful. Binakol nga Manok is another famous soup from Iloilo.

The chicken is cooked in coconut water and coconut meat.

Classic ways of cooking Chicken Binakol uses native chicken simmered for several hours. The meat of native chicken is tougher than regular dressed chicken, but it has more taste and it is great for your health. Simmering native chicken longer makes the meat tender and releases all the flavors.

The original chicken binakol is cooked in bamboo. It is said that cooking this dish in bamboo seals-in the flavor. One good thing about the dish is that the flavors are balanced. The addition of coconut water and coconut meat adds sweetness.

 Here's a video of Visayan celebrity Elizabeth Ramsey cooking Chicken Binakol 

 and here's an article on cooking chicken binakol.    

Kadios, Manok, kag Ubod

Kadios, Manok, kag Ubok is a dish with pigeon pea, chicken, and pith or core of the trunk of the banana plant.

Why is KBL a must-taste? Not every one in the world, or even in the Philippines can eat KBL any time they want. Some ingredients are abundant only in Iloilo City.

Here's how to make KBL

and here's a video on cooking KBL

Kilawin

I apologize for being a bit mischievous but I enjoyed making a Manila-based gal pal eat kilawin. She said, "kakaiba tong kinilaw, parang hilaw."

The main ingredient of Kilawin is raw fish or pork marinated in vinegar, calamansi, pepper and other spices.

Ibus

Ibus is Iloilo City's delicacy made of glutinous rice and coconut milk wrapped in coconut leaves.

Biscocho

Biscocho is a famous Ilonggo delicacy which is derived from Latin phrase “bis coctus” meaning “twice baked”. It is bread coated with sugar.

Barquillos

Barquillos is thin rolled wafers. It is soft and delicious.

They used to be plain and yummy but because bakeshops have been experiementing, they now come in  flavors of ube and pandan.

Biscocho, Pinasugbo, and Barquillos as usually requested or ginatugon as pasalubong by love ones from other parts of the country. I recommend products of Biscocho House or Pandesal Ni Pa-a. Both are found in Jaro, Iloilo City, in the alley adjacent to the police station.

Wonderful Walls

This project is perfect for single ladies and house wives who just moved in their new house in Iloilo City.

A lot of properties in iloilo look the same but little improvements will make the interior of your home wonderfully different.

Add more life and personality to your property by making your own mural. It’s not difficult although it may take some work to create a large scale painting

Creating murals need proper planning and preparation. Scan magazines and greeting cards for designs that fit your room and taste. You can also purchase mural stencils to safely and conveniently create your first classy mural. Take note of the size and texture of your wall for the kind and quantity of paint that to use. Latex is great and pocket-friendly for interior murals. Prepare brushes of different shapes and sizes for efficient design execution. Tape up walls and furniture to avoid spillage.

Stencil Sample.

Finished Product

Don’t overload the brush with paint to avoid leaks but don’t be too afraid of messing up. A Spanish church became a world tourist attraction. Thanks to a botched Jesus Christ mural.

Happy home-making!

The Superb Way to Sell a Property in Iloilo

Thinking of selling a property? Placing your property in the market is no joke. Pause first. Here are a few things to do.

Prior to placing your home in the market, be sure it's ready to be inspected by very picky and keen buyers in Iloilo.  They will try to find fault on your property in Iloilo to negotiate on its worth or find a reason not to buy it. Ensure that your property is is seen at its best. Many improvements will increase house and lot value. Outline your improvements smartly. Make sure you earn more that you spend.

Apart from increasing value, improvements will also add your house and lot's sellability. Who will go for a dirty home? Impression matters. If your buyer plans to stay in your property in Iloilo, he or she will tend to imagine what his or her's family's life will be in your house.

As a seller and a marketer, always think of two things, visuals and lifestyles. Buyers in Iloilo City are intelligent people having classy taste.

Repaint!

Repaint! Colors make a big difference. Avoid trends that is hot now and will be forgotten later. People may like to visit in-style homes. But for their own home, in which they intend to spend a lifetime, they are more traditional. 

If in doubt, choose the safe changes. You can't go wrong with white and neutrals such as cream for the interior. They magnify the room and give the feeling of freshness and tidiness. If you want to play with designs, consult magazines such as Elle.

For the outside, try lighter midtones such as carnation pink or pale green. Accentuate them with their dark counterpart colors for contrast. For example, match carnation pink with dark pink accents. Midtones are better than white for exterior because they are less prone to dirt.

Check out this color guide.

Wallpapers, Panels, Carpets

Adding a small textured wallpaper, in the living or dining room can  help a sale. If a wall needs plastering it will usually cost less to put up a prefinished panel than to replaster. Carpets makes the home more cozy. It add class. Class add value.

Plants

Plants creates an effect of a happy home. Blooming red petals attract purchases.

Lights

Marketing old properties may be unavoidable. Don't feel so bad. You can introduce some solutions by making sure it looks decent. Lighting fixtures in the kitchen, dining area, and bath can be substantial investments. Create an effect that your old home is a valued ancestral house like the antique houses Jaro, Iloilo not a ghost-hunted structure just you just want to get rid of.

Be keen with Furniture

Stuff the room with furniture and the buyer will find it too small. Just maintain enough furniture if you plan to have one in the house that your are selling. You can upgrade your furniture you if want to maximize market value. If you don't want to spend, just make sure you clean, furnish, or hide old furniture that ruin the visual.

Other things to check when selling a home

Cleaning up helps. If you cannot spend on furnishing, just at least do basic cleaning. Fixing also does a lot. Kitchen appliances and bath fixtures must shine and must be fixed. Don' forget clearing. Clear your house or roaches and rodents. During the site visit, make the house cooler and well-lighted.

Color Basics for Your Home

Congratulations! Did you just buy a home in Iloilo City? 

You must be thinking of making a home warmer for your family by splashing some colors in the wall. Or perhaps, you're thinking of adding furnitures and decorations that will match the colors of you the home you just purchased.

To help you out, let's learn the home color basics.

What is Hue?

Hue is another word for color. From the deepest royal blue and tropical green to the softest tones of pink delight and whisper peach.

 All the colors that you can imagine are hues.

What is Value?

Value means the darkness and lightness of a color. There are countless variations in value, from the palest lights to the darkest darks that are almost black. 

The amount of white, gray, or black added to pure color determines value.

Then, you may have heard of the terms tint, shade, and tone. 

Tints are colors in which white has been added. They are lighter values such as carnation. Shades are colors to which black has been added such as teal. They are darker in value. Tones are colors with gray added. They are duller than tints or shades. The making of tints, shades, or tones from a pure color is called "extending".

What is Intensity?

Intensity refers to the purity or brightness of a color. 

Pure, high-intense colors are easy to spot due to their brilliance. Imagine the brave colors lacquer red, cobalt blue, and taxi cab yellow, you will spot them first when placed side by side with the tamer burgundy, navy and rainforest green.

Now, let's have a recap. When you look at a color, ask yourself; "Is it light, medium, or dark?" That's value. "Is it bright or dull?" That's intensity.

What is Temperature?

Colors are classified either warm or cool. Yellows, reds, and oranges are warm colors. They are the colors of fire and sun.

This Hand Painted Wall Canvass will give your home a temperate feel.

The cool colors green and blue evoke water and nature.

This house exudes a very light, cool, and fresh vibe.

Some colors are called bridging colors. Because they are a mix of a warm and a cool color. Violet is made up of the warm color red and the chilling blue.

This room in the image below is warm because of the present of some red-related colors

But this room in the next image is warmer
