Rock Box Rocks in Iloilo City

Night out in Iloilo City? It has been a very long time since I had that. Despite not having that much money I agreed when a friend sent me a message if I’m free either Friday or Saturday night. The place we were supposed to be is Smallville, a popular nightspot here in Iloilo City.

About 30 minutes before the appointed time I sent a message asking where exactly are we supposed to meet. Smallville is such a busy place with a lot of bars, restos and the likes.

Another Resto Opens!

Just like most Ilonggos, food is a passion for me. That's why the news that another restaurant will open just near my place was really very welcome. I mourned the closing of the Korean restaurant, Rendezvous, in Jalandoni St. just this year. Good thing though that there will be another located in the same street. This time it's a Chinese restaurant.

I saw the leaflets distributed as part of the promotions of Kusina Tsina. It included a vicinity map and the menu. Mmmm! The usual Chinese delectable food are listed.

The opening date? I heard that it will open on May 15. That would be today here in Iloilo. That would mean another culinary feast for me and another dent in my pocket.

Dunkin' Donuts in Iloilo

Way back in the early '90s the first store of Dunkin' Donuts opened in Iznart St., Iloilo City. Beside it was a theater which has long been closed down. Ilonggos would line up just to partake of the tasty doughnuts. The queue would be several meters long and yet the customers would patiently wait just to have one or two of these delectable treats. This phenomenon went on for several weeks and the line tapered to a more manageable and shorter one after a while. It being the only 24 hours food chain at that time, it was a favorite hang-out place of those who are into nocturnal activities. That Dunkin' Donuts branch still exists despite the emergence of several other branches and similar stores.
