my friend went back home in Bohol and he brought a (kulon)palayok when he come back (Canada) We use his kulon to cook rise during our camping, I put banana leaf (I buy banana leaf in Chinese store)before the rice and cook it in wood fire its really yummy.

I am in Tagbilaran, Bohol now and I went online to scout for good places to eat.

Thanks for the post. I will be looking for the Garden Cafe since I am staying at MetroCenter Hotel.

Cheers!

jhulie, you must be new to the site. If you bothered to check the archives, you would know that my mother’s family hails from Bohol and that I have featured several posts on the Bohol markets, calamay, broas, bee farms, beaches, etc. Please review some of the 1000+ posts on this website so you will be aware of the Bohol related entries.

Im from Bohol and i really miss the place. I heard about how its becoming the number one tourist destination in the Philippinesnowadays… I just hope that businesses will not start building tall buildings and condominiums there in Panglao Island, because i think it will take away the natural beauty of the island…they should put the buildings in Tagbilaran City proper. Untouched nature is primarily one of the main reason why Bohol is becoming a magnet for adventurers and tourist alike.

Jas, sorry, I was just a tourist at the market so I don’t much about it (re: services and facilities) other than the wide aisles, tiled counters, less than attractive bathrooms and ample parking areas. However, the market office was right up front at the market and I suppose you could ask them about it…

Hi MM, this is your close relative from Tagbilaran – the one who also loves to cook and eat… Read your piece about the Dao Market. My wife and I are at that market at least three days a week, and yes, it is excellent – I go to the supermarket at the mall here maybe twice a week and always snicker to myself when I see foreigners and local “sosyals” buying their seafood and veggies there. How anyone who lives in bohol can pass on the wetmarket in lieu of refrigerated, wilted, smelly, stuff harvested/caught god-knows-when? Btw, there are two other wetmarkets that are part of my weekly rounds – Cogon Market in northern Tagbilaran, on any given day, early in the morning, Cogon Market is the best place to get super-fresh, live wild prawns – which taste so much better than the pond-grown tiger prawns, and also live shrimp, squid, and octopus. Manga market, at the northernmost fringe of the city, is great in the late afternoon as the catch of the day is usually to be found there. Again, super-dooper fresh. Maybe now you understand why, when I visit you in Manila, I almost never eat seafood there. Living here for 20 years, I’ve learned never to buy a squid unless it’s colors are still changing. A dead shrimp is useless. And a lapulapu still quivering at the gills is the only way to buy lapulapu. I’m spoiled. But then again, I have dreams of blood-rare, melt-in-the-mouth slices of roast beef!!! Hahaha, can’t have everything. Oh, finally, re: the “montana” place… IMHO, forget it.
