fried ice cream from Dumaguete

Fried Ice cream

One of our food experience there was the famous fried ice cream of Dumaguete, available at Panda ice cream store. We think it’s famous, but we actually had trouble finding the place as the locals doesn’t know what or where it is. so for those planning to go there. It is located at RHD Building, Ma. Cristina Street, Dumaguete City.

The ice cream is basically an ice cream on a bread. It is is served immediately after cooking. Amazingly, the ice cream inside is still hard. It’s eaten with a spoon as you have to scrape and break open the bread to get to the ice cream inside.

Cost is about 50 to 80 pesos each.

this is what happened to the food we ordered in Hayahay

Hayahay

This is the only good seafood restaurant in the place we found considering Dumaguete is near the bay, and we have actually seen fisherman fish on the coast of Dumaguete. The food is great and doesnt cost much, at least for us four people. We share food so for four food and 4 cups of rice, I think we spent like almost 900 for the meal, including the drinks.

Fishballs and other street food

We were actually expecting that the boulevard(bay area) food stalls would be barbecued stuff but only to find out that it’s just fish balls and kikiams and all that little fried stuff. We didn’t eat here as we want to eat dinner at the place. We ended up going to El caviteño instead. (below).

Barkada package from La Caviteña

‘La Caviteña’ is beside Siliman University, you wont miss it. It has a banner that says barkada package for 450 pesos only. The barkada package we ate contains sea weed salad, chicken inasal, barbecued squid, baked mussels, buttered shrimp and some fish fillet. The funny thing about this restaurant is that the package boast of 4 – 1/2 rice, which is translated to 2 rice only. But they insist in calling it ‘apat na half rice‘ so, whatever.

the famous Sansrival store located near the bay

Sylvannas and Sansrival

This one is famous in Dumaguete, plus the store selling these deserts is quite nice. Its kinda like entering the house of the witch in the Jack and Jill story, except the walls is not edible. hehe. I didnt buy these products, but my friends did. Both sylvannas and sansrival are frozen deserts. We were told that it would only last for four hours. And by the time we went to the store, we were one and a half hour away from our flight. I did get to taste the sylvannas though, and boy was it good. I actually bought one here in Manila, to compare, and definitely Dumaguete’s sylvannas is much tastier.
Each sylvannas cost 10 pesos each and a box costs 105 pesos. The extra 5 pesos is for the box.
Sansrival if I remember correctly costs 125 or something.

The place is just near the bay,  walking distance from Siliman University.
