Hi Lei….kumusta?
Still remember me? One of your classmates in high school. So happy to see your blog. Helped me a lot in planning our trip to Ilo-ilo City this December 2015.
Miss you girl and God bless. Hope to see you sometime.
mwah
I would not really recommend Horizon cafe to anyone I know if I want them to have a good food trip experience in Iloilo, all they would get there is a good view, thats it, the food and service is bad plus it’s pretty expensive tbh it’s not really worth your money.. there’s alot more restaurants which offer quality food and experience like Breakthrough in Villa or Tatoys, Afriques, Ramboys (liempo) and Peppy Thai etc.
A visit to Iloilo is not complete without walking the full stretch of Iloilo River Esplanade! You will feel like you’re in a different country/universe! I hope you visit again soon. π
Thank you Aleah! As always, your blogs inspire me to travel more! π
Hi Aleah,
I stumbled upon your blog while reading about solo traveling & I love it!
Speaking of massage in Iloilo, did you get to try the foot reflexology at San Jose Church? They only ask for a donation and you can even bring your own towel/socks/massage oil if you don’t want to buy from there π
Hi Aleah!
Your website is amazing! I’m glad you had the chance to visit Iloilo. There are many more places for you to explore here. So if you have the time, come over again and enjoy everything Iloilo. I also love the photos of the places youβve been to.These photos are memories to last you a lifetime. The places you have been to and are going to see need not be forgotten. I canβt wait to read more about your travels and view your wonderful photos.
Hi Aleah, although my father’s family originated from Iloilo, I’m sad to say that I have not been. I’ve been wanting to go and the things you have shown here inspire me to do so even more. I love the mansions. They’re crazy amazing. I was also thinking what it must have been like to be so super rich then. But most of all, I’m so heartened to learn that the local government is preserving heritage sites. One thing that saddens me about a lot of places in the Phils is the lack of sense of preservation. As for the food, SOLD! Thanks for the lovely post.
Wow – there’s so much to see and do in the Philippines and Iloilo is a city that I’ve never heard of but that I’d love to visit when in the country. I can definitely relate to what you said about being grateful that Calle Real isn’t in Manila or else it would’ve been overdeveloped by now. Jave and I were just talking about that yesterday on our drive home in relation to state and national parks. Glad that there are protected places so that tourists and locals alike can appreciate them to the fullest.
Hi ma’am, you forgot to try Iloilo’s delicious Batchoy… π #proudilongga #iamiloilo π
Oh no! I completely forgot! I did love Deco’s Batchoy. I will edit this post and add that. Thanks so much for reminding me haha
Please want more post of place where to visit in Iloilo
I have quite a few posts coming up on Iloilo. Sign up for updates (see sidebar) so you’ll immediately know when I have a new post. π
I miss Ilo-ilo! Went there twice but there’s more places to visit and discover. I miss Guimaras too π
I am so loving Panay now. Hope to go back again and again. There’s so much to see there.
Massage, that’s what is calling me.
The Philippines offers so much to the visitor, no matter what island one chooses to go. Someday, I hope to see as much as I can of my home country.
There’s so much to see and do in the Philippines. When you visit, stay a month or more. π
I really love Iloilo, we stayed there for two days, and really had fun, the Korean foods, night life was great.
I agree about the nightlife. You can go to Villa Beach, or Esplanade, or Smallville!
wow! timing talaga to. I am planning to visit Iloilo on the 19th. More post about Iloilo please π
Of course, of course. Lots more posts to follow. I love Iloilo/Panay!
Visit Tatoy’s Manokan for their Lechon Manok, Lechon Baboy and Baked Talaba, or Breakthrough Restaurant for their seafood menu! It’s along Villa Beach.
Thanks for the recommendation! We went to Annie’s, but the server wasn’t so friendly.
I have been to Philippines but hadn’t heard of this place! So ignorant I was.
I am coming to Philippines again, let’s see what all I can see this time. Will you be around? π
Nisha! If you’re arriving in Manila, and not, say in Cebu or Davao, I would love to meet you. Provided, of course, I’m in town. π Let me know!
hi…. i am from Iloilo city, i am a pure ilongga…. visit my place and for sure you will love it….
for sure pinaka memorable yung Madge Cafe hehehe
I really blame Jorry for forgetting to remind me hahaha (Jorry, joke lang!)

I had to read quite a bit before I could figure out which country you were in! It sounds amazing.
@ Gaines: The Philippines, my country, is really beautiful. Come visit if you have a chance.
