Cows have four intestines, at least. All of that
to convert the grass into milk.

A cow's digestive system |
You’ll envy a cow when you go to Bacolod.
Our intestines are not enough to handle all the
gastronomic options in Bacolod.
Prepare to commit one of the seven deadly sins in
Bacolod: Gluttony.
Our lunch in El Ideal Bakery in Silay proves that
good food does not need to be pretentious or expensive. Food here is simple,
far from being “artisanal”, but the flock of customers in the shop is
consistent.
I think the local longanisa meal is around Php
120. Then Sarah and I shared two slices of pie and fresh lumpia, one of their
bestsellers too. I shelled out Php 176.00 for my lunch. Affordable and
delicious food. I guess that’s the advantage of eating in the province; you’ll
get really good food at reasonable prices. Unlike in Metro Manila, where you’ll
have to pay moolah for a so-so food. I wouldn’t mind retiring in the province
someday.
I am a sucker for buko pie. Their buko pie is so
delicious. I took a bite before taking a shot. Their Guapple pie is also yummy,
but my vote goes to their apple pie. I didn’t buy one whole pie because I
didn’t want to carry a box all the way home. :P

We found three options but we went with the suggestion ng bayan: Aida’s
Manokan. Aida’s Manokan is located in Manokan Country, a strip eateries in FM
Ferrero St., near SM Bacolod.
