Bilao at Palayok Puerto Princesa, Palawan
Aside from the breathtaking Underground River, white sand beaches, exciting zip line adventures and friendly locals, Palawan vacation would not be complete without dining in the city’s restaurants.
Bilao at Palayok Seafoods & Native Restaurant is located along Rizal Avenue and just about 5 minutes away from Puerto Princesa Airport. This Filipino restaurant is one of Puerto Princesa’s finest restaurants.
A huge “Palayok” or Earthen Pot outside the restaurant. We visited Bilao at Palayok for our first dinner at Puerto Prinsesa. Since I’m only using my smart phone for photographs, pictures are dull due to lowlight conditions.
Bilao at Palayok’s interior is very native and “Filipino”. I was impressed and amazed by the overall design and feel of the restaurant. Tables, chairs and even flooring are made up of wood mostly bamboos. Too bad that we were the last guests that night and lights were dimmed on other areas of the restaurant.
Short bridge heading to the main dining area of Bilao at Palayok.
At the heart of the restaurant are wooden crafts. Bilao at Palayok looks like a mini Filipino art gallery to me. I highly recommend visiting this restaurant during daytime to appreciate the ethnicity and beauty of the area.
We ordered “Bulalo” – kneecap, a famous dish in the Philippines.
Boodle feast at Bilao at Palayok. We were all shocked by the generous serving of this group meal for five persons. Food presentation is perfect!
This group meal we ordered consists of Sisig, boneless Bangus, Inihaw na Pusit, Inihaw na baboy, fried danggit, Adobo, Hipon, Laing etc. I should say that their rice is the most tasfeful and delicious rice I’ve ever tasted!
My friend wanted to bring home this water pitcher covered with a woven rattan.hahaha
