Chicken Inasal delicacy is a must try in Bacolod. Cannot wait to go there!
Gosh! All the things a traveler need is in this article. I will bookmark it and in case I need a guide what to do first in Bacolod, This will be a helpful information.
I don't know where Bacolod is located. Is it far from Luzon?
The list here won't make travelers hungry. I will go for more of tourist spot place that tells history. I wonder how it is like to tour with a tourist guide.
It is far from Luzon, an hour plane ride. You can explore the place with or without a tour guide :)
The title is catchy but a handful of the "to do" is actually not in Bacolod area. This article should have given an appropriate title. It should be Negros Occidental, not just Bacolod.
Also, a good portion of "things to do" is visiting restaurants, which it could be fun but not as fun as going to remote, exotic places that's only in Negros.
Thank you Job for that observation. Places outside Bacolod were included because these places offer somtehing that cannot be found within the city proper.Bacolod visitors would surely love a side trip when they are in town :)
So many misses on the list: AIDA's in Manokan is a lot better than Chicken House. Chicken Deli is the worst!
Lakawon Island in cadiz city, while not managed well has the best area fir swimming & snorkeking. Less than 2 hours from Bacolod. The beaches South of Negros which are near good diving places. Danjugan Island, the ultimate eco-tourism themed island. Many, many missed places.
Thank you Miguel for that observation. We are preparing for a 100 Things to do in Bacolod City on a different post.:)
Wow 70 things! Chicken Inasal is my favorite so I would definitely try Bacolod's version when I go there someday! And Campuestohan sounds like a great adventure. I love theme parks!
your post took me down to memory lane... it makes me want to visit the city of smile again
Admittedly, I have not been to Bacolod but I have heard a lot of good stuff about it - from the gastroadventures that one can have, to the sights, and the people. This is an awesome list that you've put together. I've bookmarked your post for future reference. I hope to see Bacolod super soon!
Iren's Restaurant must try their Sweet and Spicy Calamares
Where is this?
I believe its the iren's at the ground floor of the dream 21 building next to the Jollibee in front of riverside hospital. If you go there, I recommend trying Fogo also. Its next to Iren's. They have serve their version of Mexican food.
This is a good list but it would have been more accurate and respectful to the businesses mentioned if their names were spelled correctly.
May I know , the name:
I think you mispelled Miren Desserts Cafe wrong. It's spelled as Merin here.
Thank you
it's L ' KAISEI. the japanese restaurant not L KAIZE. thanks for the list...
He spelled it correctly - Miren Desserts Cafe. Look it up online. You might want to try and add Sofia Bread and Pastries, Fatboys, Krabby Fatty & FudMaster on your top 100 list. Thanks for this, good stuff! :)
