Langyaw
As we started with Tawidtayo, we were inspired by Sir Estan’s photo essays. So inspired that we even made our own a few years back. Now, we are still looking forward to more adventurous loops and wonderful finds from Langyaw’s travels. A definite must-read for travel junkies!

July 11th, 2010 | 6 Comments | Posted in Food, Photography

Bacolod City has another addition to its blooming food industry and it is an original classic from Luzon. Imagine great old Tagalog Kare-kare made as it was meant to be eaten, the unbeatable pair of Tokwa’t Baboy and the authentic Pancit Malabon. These mouth-watering feasts isn’t too far away for the Bacolodnons now that Tita Beth’s Pancit Malabon is here.


The place is cozy, it feels like home especially since the ones brewing in the kitchen are the owners themselves: Tito Mer and Tita Beth Sales. Both hailing from Luzon, they have brought the dishes of the region here to the City of Smiles. Their main specialty is Pancit Malabon, made with continue reading »

June 25th, 2010 | 2 Comments | Posted in Events, Photography, Travel

As we say goodbye to our trusted flipflops and say hello to the rainy months, the end of the summer season may be gloomy for travelers, especially the ones who had to go back to school. For us here in TawidTayo, traveling cannot be ceased by dark clouds and simple drizzles.

Here is a list of reminders for traveling during the rainy season. Read on!

Take pride in reliable rain gear. Wind-resistant umbrellas, weather-proof footwear and double-lined bags are great investments for serious travelers. Before leaving shelter, make sure you are prepared to get drenched. We can’t fight it, traveling is different with the rain but it does make the continue reading »

The Namit Journals: Cafe 1925, Silay City

June 17th, 2010 | 1 Comment | Posted in Photography

Headed north towards the Paris of Negros, Silay City boasts of its grandeur in preserving Filipino culture and heritage. Tawidtayo simply had to revisit and see what the people are talking about. As we open a new series here in the site, our first feature is truly worth blogging – Silay City’s Cafe 1925.

Located at the heart of the city, the little spot is cozy and inviting – dining there feels like eating in a Tita’s house or a friend’s front porch. The food they serve is unbelievably gluttonous – they’ve got main courses for lunch or dinner, sandwiches, pastas and desserts. Getting to decide on what to order is a bit challenging, they do cook continue reading »

The Namit Journals

June 15th, 2010 | No Comments | Posted in Food, Photography

It’s all about food. We’ve been travelling to different places but then one thing that sets each place apart is its cuisine. We do believe that for a traveler to know what the city is all about, he or she should take a bite out of their delicacies. Here in TawidTayo, we’ll try to jump from one resto to another to bring you what Negrense and Filipino cuisine is all about.

“Namit” is the Hiligaynon word for “masarap” or “delicious”. Take a gastronomical journey with us as we check out what’s new, what’s hot and what’s cooking all over the island. If you’ve got any suggestions as to where we should dine next or if there’s a new bistro you’ve been dying to try, drop us a line and we’d be food trippin’ together. Tara na, tawid na.
