#Balaring

Late post number 2.

 

It's funny to think that I live in Talisay but it has only been recently that I have eaten in Balaring. Yes, I've been there before to do some shoots of the sunset, but eat? This was a first time.

My cousin wanted to eat there and since he didn't bring his car, I was the designated driver.

P1152

There were lots of restaurants there, but we chose to eat in Mel Ken's. They have a wide variety of seafood that I'm sure is fresh.

P1158

The restaurant had this home-y and traditional Filipino vibe to it with windows overlooking the sea.

My mom and I, cousins, and tita.

 

Now the food that we ordered...

P1154

Buttered shrimps.

P1161

Porkchop for the kids.

P1153

Kilawin, which is one of my favorites. The spicyness was just adequate.

P1159

Pork sisig which is better than some expensive restaurants who serve this dish.

All diets off the window when there's seafood. Haha. I was able to eat more than two cups of rice. Oops.

Note: Not in the picture were the Liempo, and the Sinigang na Isda, which was hearty.

Mel Ken's is just one of the many seafood restaurants present in Balaring. Balaring is around 20 - 30 minutes drive from Bacolod with the Teresita L. Jalandoni Provincial Hospital (TLJPH)  in Silay City as your point of reference. Once you've reached the hospital, just follow the road and the signs up until you reach Balaring. Don't worry because the roads are well paved and fairly safe to drive even at night.

#Happy eating!
