FOOD TRIP│ Bigg's Diner: Largest Food Chain in Bicol

In the heart of Naga, you'll find the oldest and one of the largest food chain in Bicol, the Bigg's Diner. Since 1983, it has been famous for it's cooked to order meals. It's not hard to find their restaurant, it's at Panganiban drive near St. Francis church and Naga Park.

This is their blue lighted counter.

BIGG'S INTERIOR

Diner's costumers can easily say that 50's inspired ambiance is quite interesting from other food chains.

 

Look at those vintage stuffs and how they posted it on their bricked wall.

FOOD

 

We ordered Pork chop with laing, well it took about 30-45mins. We're so hungry and they took a lot of time before they served it. Hmm but it I can say the food is good but when we ordered again and this time it's just an extra rice and halo-halo, it took again for the same minutes. Before we tasted the extras we're hungry again! haha.

Over-all I enjoyed Bigg's diner, maybe next time I'll try their pizzas. :)

FOOD TRIP│ Binacol: One of Leyte's Sweet Delicacy

BINACOL

"Binacol" comes from the root word "Bakol" which means coconut shell. This food isn't the popular meat dish Chicken Binakol rather a sweet delicacy but both are served in a coconut shell half.

It is served in coconut shell half with banana leaf as cover. Binacol tastes like a "Suman" or rice cake in english with a sweet surprise at the bottom. It has caramel-like mixture with peanuts under rice cake top.

Here's the closer look of the sweet surprise.

I really enjoyed this food, actually my first time to taste this one even though my province is at Leyte (haha). I haven't tried this before, we weren't had vacation or any visits there. Well, I can say that it's really a must try especially those who really love sweets! :)
