Fresh sea breeze, soft white sand beaches, and crystal-clear blue water are the few things that make us go back again and again to Boracay. Especially since it has undergone closure and redevelopment in 2018, we could definitely enjoy more of what the island has to offer.
But apart from what we normally see or hear about Boracay paradisiacal allure – stunning scenery, vibrant night life, and exciting island activities – let’s not forget the other reason that make it one of the best tourist destinations in the country: its foods!
Here are three remarkable dishes you must try in the beautiful island of Boracay!
1. Four Cheese Pizza at barLO Resto Lounge
I know you’re thinking, you’re in an island, why eat pizza? Well, because this one is irresistibly delicious! Renowned in the island, it is different from what is offered by pizza parlors in the metro.
Savory, crunchy, and aromatic, it entices you to bite right away after it’s served. The combination of cheddar, parmesan, mozzarella, and blue cheese altogether produces a luscious harmony of tastes. You may also try the resto’s other bestsellers such as pepperoni pizza and oyster sisig.
