Food tripping in Boracay
And so I’m back from six days of sun, sea, photography, shopping and glorious food. We arrived in Boracay on Monday, March 17th, a little after noon. We deposited our bags in the hotel and went straight to lunch. Our friends who got there about an hour ahead of us recommended a turo-turo a few meters from the beach. We were starving and hardly in the mood to conduct a survey so we went right ahead and made our choices.
The girls wanted soup and they were unanimous in their choice of sinigang na sugpo which, of course, I did not touch because of an allergy. Not that I felt I missed anything because we ordered three other dishes, two of which I thoroughly enjoyed.
The grilled blue marlin was moist and succulent. I only wished they didn’t baste it with sweet barbecue sauce which detracted from the natural flavor of the fish.
The liempo (pork belly) was perfectly charred. The stuffed squid I did not touch but the kids finished it so I don’t think there was anything wrong with it. Otherwise, they would have complained.
Where did we eat all that?
The place is called Sunset Turo-turo and Grill. It was an okay place to eat but click on the links to the rest of the pages in this entry because we had a much better lunch on Tuesday.

I had a nightmare with Sunset Turo-Turo. We had lunch the first day at 2 pm because that was the only time we arrived, but when the orders arrived it appeared that they weren’t able to take my order and only prepared one of 2 dishes we ordered. What’s bad is, it took them 20 minutes the first time. I wasn’t about to wait for another 20 minutes seething at the stupid waiter. I ended up having lunch alone at La Carmela de Boracay hotel’s restaurant.
I really like the pictures you took Connie. I may not have been to Boracay but its nice to see it through pictures only.
When we went to Boracay last year, my friends and I were looking for a quick dinner. We went over to Goodah! for a tapa fix. All hopes for getting a quick dinner were dashed when the server repeatedly told us to wait for her to finish serving the other table before taking our orders. It took 25 minutes before our orders were taken and around 15 minutes more to serve it. Goodah Boracay is super slooooow
the pictures looks great, and mouthwatering! nakakagutom! i’m still hoping that the next time we go back home, we’ll be able to visit boracay, although, it’s getting over populated, i’d still like to experience it!
Connie: awesome pictures! i have been in NYC for a while, and looking at these pictures made me a bit homesick. you guys REALLY eat well, i must say!
Hey Jude! lol. i go to that bar every single night whenever I’m in Boracay. just looking at your wonderful photos made me miss Boracay even more.
you are making me hungry, even though i’m sick today.no appetite here and i’m losing weight.
i was going to the philippines but nobody wants to go with me.i love grilled squid…..
I love your site. I never miss a day without logging in. It makes me drool all the time and gives me a big appetite. I usually log in before i prepare dinner and gives me ideas on what to do. More power!
Hi Ms. Connie,
I’m coming home in May and going to Boracay for the first time. Thanks for sharing all this information. I heard about the talipapa but was not keen on it at first, but now I’m actually looking forward to eating there. Have you tried the Crab House and McSandro?
hi ms. connie! hmmm i just wanna ask how do you put your name in your photos? i think they are called ‘water mark’ if im right coz i too take pictures, the type you guys take. i also wanna post them on some site but before i do i want to put my signature in it.
and also i admire your site! it is exactly the type i wanna have! unfortunately i have no means….. so really i love your site! as im a frustrated food photographer and stylist…. kudos!
Adobe Photoshop or GIMP, Kath.
