Postcard: Iloilo City, The City of Love…… and Food!

i am currently in Iloilo city to judge the 9th edition of the Sinamba sa Paraw regatta, and of course to do another round of food tour here! My schedule’s quite full lately so I dont have much time to write. I still have lots of backlog to finish.

In the meantime, feast on this sinfully delicious Snickers Pie from Maridel’s. One of the popular cake houses in Iloilo City.
