Food Tripping in the Philippines: Pinoy Pasalubong Favourites
Food-Tripping in the Nation’s Most Popular Destinations
As more and more carriers become competitive, it is us, the passengers, that are reaping the benefits of affordable domestic travel by air. To make our trip all the more worth it, we must make sure that we experience all that the city or province has to offer and that includes most especially their cuisine and delicacies.

Writer's Note: This list is certainly not exhaustive
but it can get the traveler started on a great food-trip with plenty of pasalubong ideas. It is important to note that this list is not representative of the best foods found around the Philippines either. As the topic of food is always
subjective and dynamic, better choices can easily be overlooked. In
such cases, the reader is encouraged to add his or her suggestions in the comment

Great post! Very helpful. For Bacolod, I also would like to add a type of puff-pastry treat called napoleones (http://bongbongspiaya.com/blog/top-three-foods-from-bongbong-s-that-you-can-prepare-for-small-gatherings). It's available at bongbong's piaya, a pasalubong store in Bacolod City.
