Cafe Uma

Our last meal in Bacolod will never be forgotten. Tom and I were in a hurry so we can catch our flight so we ended up in Cafe Uma which is very near the place we were staying.
I liked how the natural lighting brightens up the place with interiors that are not too flashy. The ambiance was very cozy.
They had Big Mama painting in the walls which added a little twist.
I was craving for pasta so we had the Cafe Uma Special Pasta (400 PHP), This is spaghetti with pesto cream, bacon and smoked salmon. I love how everything blended together. The noodles were al dente, the pesto cream was light and both the bacon and salmon had a good play with my taste buds. I can't stop raving about this pasta until now.
We also had the Mediterrenean Chicken Salad (350 PHP). It was grilled chicken fillet with different herbs on a bed of greens with couscous, drizzled with balsamic vinegar. The chicken was very juicy and I liked how the couscous added texture to this dish.
 I find the food a little bit pricey for Bacolod but I also felt that every peso spent was worth it. Tom and I enjoyed every bit of our dinning experience here.

Chicken Deli

So to continue the Bacolod edition of my food trip last September, my friend Sweet took uss to Chicken Deli along Lacson st. since it's the one nearest to our hotel.

I remember eating here when I was nine with my parents and sister titit when my mom had a food convention back then. The place hasn't changed much and Bacolod will alsways be home of the best inasal. 
We ordered the usual inasal, either Pecho or Paa and it only cost 60 PHP per quarter chicken. The chicken was well marinated and juicy. We also had the pork hula-hula (38 PHP) but I found this one too sweet.
 An order of gralic rice already with chicken oil costs 23 PHP and atachara to complete your meal.
 My friends got fruit shakes for drinks at 38 PHP. It was served in a tall glass and worth every peso.
 We got a complete Inasal meal for only 121 PHP which was all worth it. 
One thing I would like to try when I go back to Bacolod is Manokan Country which is the best place for locals to get inasal. Chicken Deli serves good food and service was alright and the place is accessible.
