There is this restaurant in San Nicolas just before the bridge to Laoag called Dawangs actually a hole in the wall or rather a "Carinderia" that serves the best food. If you are not particular about the ambience like the G3 or G5 restaurants in Makati this eatery is an extension of the owners house right beside their kitchen and outdoor laundry.Sounds terrible but you have to try it. Authentic homecooked iLOCANO food...Try their tinono(grilled pork with tomatos, sinanglaw(papaitan),Baligatad(medium cooked beef),sarabasab, igado,and their dinuguan with chicharon with lots of rice and bottled soda. WE first tried this restaurant about 8 years ago courtesy of our late DAD and we keep coming back every year along with his 12 grand children who love eating there and trying new dishes.This restaurant is definitely always on our itinerary.One lunch for the whole brood of 20 hungry kids along with 30 orders of rice, and 2 cases of soda cost us just PHP1650!!!!. Try it!!"DAWANGS".... Ilocos longanisa is different for each town but the Cabugao,sinait and Batac are the best and it tastes even better when grilled.Batac empanada is the BEST when you like it with eggs and longanisa, Vigan empanada is good when you order the plain ones make sure you dip it sukang iloko... In Santo Domingo,iLocos Sur they sell Malunggay ice cream.. Happy Eating!!! I was reading your blog and it seems you went for the tourist trap restaurants in iLOCOS Norte.

Vigan longganisa i think is more garlicky than the ones in laoag. For me it tastes better, even their empanada(grated papaya or cabbage/vigan longganisa and egg complimented with sukang iloco with onions) MM! what happened in Cafe Leona?… Vigan longganisa i think is more garlicky than the ones in laoag.
