Philippines Travel - Bohol Island Cuisine - BARWOO

Highly recommend this place! It was the best restaurant we tried during our Cebu trip. If you search for Bohol Island food, this place will definitely come up. Located on the main street outside Alona Beach, but closer to the end of the street, conveniently near the entrance of our hotel. Highly suggest visiting during off-peak hours; otherwise, you might have to wait for a long time. We went at 2 PM and didn’t have to queue at all. The food was served quickly. Since we weren’t very hungry, we decided not to order main dishes and just got the spare ribs and chicken wings. To our surprise, the portions were huge, and we couldn’t finish them, so we packed the leftovers to take back to the hotel. ☑️ Spare Ribs Platter - 980 PHP A massive plate of spare ribs, thoughtfully pre-cut into individual pieces, served with salad and a generous portion of thin fries. The ribs were perfectly grilled, with a slightly moist sauce that had a sweet flavor with a hint of smoky char. The meat was tender and easy to bite into, not dry at all. The fries were thin and crispy, just like McDonald’s fries, which I love. The salad was a great addition to balance out the richness of the meal. ☑️ Mango Wings - 680 PHP The chicken wings were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, the juiciest wings we had during our time on Bohol Island. The mango sauce on top was incredibly delicious, refreshing, and appetizing, perfectly balancing the greasiness of the wings. The menu indicated that they were spicy, but I didn’t feel any heat (I usually eat mildly spicy food). ☑️ Mango Mojito - 250 PHP If you love cocktails, you must try this! A mojito with a sweet mango flavor, you can barely taste the alcohol, with a subtle minty aftertaste. Super refreshing, and I have to say, cocktails on Bohol Island are really affordable (compared to Taiwan). ☑️ La Havana - 200 PHP This one wasn’t my favorite. It’s rum mixed with cola, and I found it bitter, but that might be because I don’t like cola in general. The total cost for two people was 2110 PHP, which is on the higher side, but the flavors were absolutely worth it. I recommend coming with a group to share more dishes. Definitely a must-visit spot!
