Baguio City Public Market | The Best Place To Buy Pasalubong

July 7, 2018 by Josiah 1 Comment

Our visit to Baguio City will not be complete without a trip to the Baguio City Public Market. Located right in the heart of Baguio City near Burnham Park we can always stroll by whenever we are near. Usually, it does not happen that way. The best time to go here is when we are about to go home because of pasalubongs!

Baguio City Public Market

The public market is quite big, there the wet section where you can find meats, vegetable sections where you can find vegetables (duh!), pasalubong section, rice, coffee, and many more.

Cheding's Peanuts in Iligan City, Philippines

One of the reasons why I always avail of check-in luggage when I go to Iligan City is the Cheding’s Toasted Peanuts, or just Cheding’s Peanut. Cheding’s Peanut is widely known in Iligan as the tasty peanut that came from Iligan. It’s really good that when my uncle who works abroad knew that I was documenting Iligan City he told me that I should buy him 2 kilos of the peanuts. When I went home I had 4 kilos of Cheding’s Peanut in 1/4 kilo packages (52.50 Pesos/piece). Then the half-kilo of peanuts we placed during the my Lolo’s birthday party was quickly consumed.

When I was still in College I went to Iligan and gave my classmates Cheding’s Peanut and all those who gave feedback said that it tasted good.

Pasalubong from Bolinao, Pangasinan

January 30, 2012 by Josiah 4 Comments

Binungey

Located at the entrance of St. James the Great Parish Church. The sellers in front have a uniform and when asked what Binungey is they explained that it is “Suman sa Kawayan” or in English translation Rice Cake in Bamboo.

Fish Sauces/Paste

If you look at the origin of the word Pangasinan it’s Pang-Asin-an. Pangasinan is famous for its fish sauces or bagoong.

Some bagoong costs 15 Pesos per cup and some even goes up to 70 Pesos per cup

Bohol Pasalubong

October 29, 2010 by Josiah 2 Comments

I had little time to buy my pasalubongs when I was in Tagbilaran, Bohol. Good thing I was with the Running Pinoy, Dennis, and he advised me that I go to the supermarket of Bohol Quality Mall or BQ Mall as the locals call it.

I went to BQ Mall, bought and came back to Metro Centre Hotel all in 20 minutes. PR!

Here are the pasalubongs I bought for my family, officemates and friends.


Star Peanuts, Peanut Meringue Clusters


Peanut Kisses, Peanut and Egg White Cookies


HillColate, The "chocolate hill - shaped" premium chocolates


Milky Nuts, Donna's Delights

The truth is they’re all good. But if I were to pick my favorite from one of them I’d pick the Star Peanuts. The Milky Nuts, Peanut Kisses and Star Peanuts almost had the same taste and texture. I just prefer the Star Peanuts more. Weird huh?

You be the judge. Tell me what you think if you’ve tried the four.

When our tour guide told us that we were going to Cora Palawan Pearl and Souvenir Shop I was looking forward to entering the shop to see what Puerto Princesa has to offer in terms of pasalubongs. Then he said that the alloted time for us to look for a pasalubong was 30 minutes. 30 MINUTES!!! That’s too long for me (male genes rushing)! But since it was on our itinerary, I had to follow.

According from our tour guide, Cora’s was the supplier of almost all the pearls in the Palawan and if you buy from them you get a cheaper price than buying on other stores. That’s what I remembered. I forgot to check how much a pearl is though.

Earings

After 15 minutes inside the shop, I had taken pictures of bracelets, earings, necklace, clothings, bags and FOOD!!! I even bought kasoy for pasalubong in the
