It’s been almost 19 years since I last visited Balaw-Balaw Restaurant and Museum in Angono. It was Marielle’s baptismal celebration party . I had dreams that my daughter would grow into an artist one day and having it at this restaurant fitted my dreams. Oh well, she’s not an artist as in paint artist though but she loves to sing. Anyway, what is Balaw-Balaw?
Balaw-Balaw is actually a sauce native to Angono, made of fermented shrimps, gruel, and red rice. The founder, Perdigon Vocalan, who passed away in 2001, wanted to promote the culture of Angono by opening up a specialty restaurant serving native and exotic dishes. Have you ever tried eating snake or bayawak? For the brave souls like me, it is actually an interesting dish that tastes like chicken with the consistency of fish. Aside from these not-so-common dishes, Balaw also offers the widest selection of Filipino dish
