TOB Food Crawl 2018 Leg Two: A Journey through ElYu for Your Tastebuds

As we lounged around the wonderful Puerto De San Juan (accommodation sponsor), we can’t help but talk about how much of La Union’s foodscape grew; there are so many new places to eat, so much variety actually …especially along the city of San Fernando and San Juan town, the foodscape has grown considerably in the past few years continuously expanding to cater for the foodie instagrammable set.

And we at Eats in Baguio were lucky to have continued our second day for the 2nd leg of the The Other Bloggers Food crawl 2018, this time in the warm sandy region of La Union.

What The Pho

What the Pho serves famous Vietnamese dishes, remember Coffee Library? When we told you they had “phonomenal pho?” we were not kidding you, this is the same amazing recipe (What The Pho is Coffee Library’s baby) aside from the pho, they have a bunch of amazing dishes to die for… Oh yes, were not exaggerating, were salivating!

Layag Grille and Kilawen Bar

We were gluttons by the sea, besieged with all these irresistible grilled seafood recipes originating from Davao, and of course there is nothing like dining on a dock overlooking the beach. Another one of those places for your barkada or family, because of their large servings.
