Did you know that there are five major festivals celebrated in Bacolod City? Of course, there is the grand MassKara Festival in October, which lures many people to the city with colorful parades and street performances. Completing the list are the Bacolaodiat Festival (Chinese New Year), Bacolod Chicken Inasal Festival in May, Bacolod Rum Festival in August, and Bacolod Parade of Lights in December.
With all these celebrations, Bacolod City truly lives up to its moniker, The City of Smiles. And through its future collaborations and local initiatives, Bacolod City is well on its way to becoming a Super City that thrives through collaboration, innovation, and sustainable growth.
During a recent trip with Megaworld Corporation, Manila Bulletin Lifestyle had the opportunity to tour the city and its neighboring towns, discovering more attractions, experiences, and hidden gems they have to offer. From legacy restaurants to record-breaking establishments, here are some of the things that will surely make anyone smile as they explore Bacolod and Negros Occidental.
1. A hearty serving of pancit molo
Apart from its many festivals, Bacolod City is known as one of the ultimate foodie destinations in the Philippines. A go-to spot for locals is Bob's Restaurant, located along B.S. Aquino Drive. Since 1965, Bob's has been serving Ilonggo comfort food.
A lot has changed since its establishment, but one thing remains the same—the quality of its food. Regular diners pass down the tradition of enjoying family meals at the restaurant. Among the must-tries on its menu are the Ilonggo favorite pancit molo and a refreshing glass of fruit punch to quench your thirst on a sunny day.
2. This cheesecake and batuan medley
There are plenty of places in Bacolod City to satisfy one's sweet cravings. At Megaworld's Upper East House stands Sucré by Liz and Mom. Led by Elizabeth Primacio, this charming restaurant is the perfect place for merienda, offering a selection of brewed drinks, pasta dishes, and other plated meals.
But what keeps people coming back are its desserts and baked goods.
