We started our Filipino food tour having a popular food in the Philippines, the flavourful and garlicky arroz caldo. We made our way into the centre of Iloilo City to Roberto’s to try their famous Queen Siopao. This is one of the must try street foods in Iloilo that we couldn’t pass up on our Filipino street food tour.

We continued our Filipino food tour to Madge Café tasting their native coffee, very robust and delicious. Being such a hot day, we had to get a halo halo to cool off, except this one was in a coconut! There’s something extra tasty and delicious about having your halo halo in a coconut.

To finish off our Filipino food tour in Iloilo City, we tried two of the most popular foods in Iloilo, batchoy and barquillos. Batchoy is famous here in Iloilo, a massive bowl of noodles with all kinds of meat in a hearty broth. Their famous batchoy noodles is the ultimate bowl. We were also lucky enough to watch barquillos get made at Original Deocampo Barquillos. This is the place where barquillos all started, and the best place to get your barquillos fix in Iloilo City.

We hope you enjoy our Filipino food tour in Iloilo City tasting the famous batchoy and barquillos. The food in Iloilo Philippines is amazing and we can’t wait to share our second video with you next week! Stay tuned for more street food adventures.

  1. Thanks for a must try merienda (snack) episode! ✨️😊

    I'd like to add that most of the food in this video are favorite breakfast and merienda items by a lot of locals – like the arroz caldo (rice porridge / rice soup), puto (this word of Malay Origin, not Spanish 😂 meaning rice cake), siopao, batchoy, and coffee with something sweet like suman or barquillos. Arroz caldo and batchoy are also recovery food for me when I am under the weather.

    Steph had suman with her coffee. Other good pairings with suman would be latik (reduced coconut crème sauce), chocolate sauce, or ripe manggo.

    Chris had such a big bowl of batchoy! Looks like it can feed two or three less hungry people. Hahaha!

    It is common for locals to pair noodles and siopao, but with the size of those servings, I'd need some people to share it with!

    Barquillos is a childhood treat for me and I am really happy to finally have seen how they are made. I appreciate it so much guys. 😊🧡

    Kudos to another happy belly episode! 🧡🫰🏻🫶🏻

  2. You did a good research for foods here in Iloilo.. God bless guys.. thank you for visiting Iloilo city

  3. Hi, I've been watching your vlogs from the start of your food trips here in the Philippines and it was so informative and fun to watch. I am from Iloilo City by the way and I'm so glad you've visited our city. I hope you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for featuring our best and legendary food/restaurant here in the city. Looking forward to more food trip videos. More Power to both of you.😍God bless🙏

  4. Arroz Caldo, Pancit Molo and Batchoy are the best which came from Iloilo. Yummy.

  5. Loved the video, guys!! We watched it while we were having supper and your variety definitely beat ours,lol😂,!! The halo halo in the coconut looked so refreshing 😋! Coconut is the very best!!
    The barquillos looked so tasty!
    What awesome hospitality!

  6. Glad you guys came to Iloilo. Ilonggo cuisine really deserves more spotlight. Can't wait for the next part! 😄

  7. What? The Siopao has Chinese sausage, Bacon, and plum sauce. Now that sounds ridiculous. First no such thing as plum sauce in the Philippines. Its a Siopao, nobody calls it a bao in the Philippines. So obviously that is not exotic, because apparently its called a Bao. In places where that is common as bagel. (one Iconic Food from ilo ilo is that pork with black beans and a variety of Jackfruit. That is something more interesting the arroz caldo which mundane as boiled eggs.
