The town's long-standing Chinese-Filipino restaurant on Roxas Avenue, the kind of place every Philippine provincial capital has — vinyl tablecloths, rotating ceiling fans, a menu that runs to fifty items and is reliable across most of them. The thing to order is the sizzling pork sisig, the fried chicken, or the simple beef-and-broccoli; the seafood specials change daily and are usually whatever was at the market that morning.
Portions are generous and prices low (mains ₱200–400). Service is brisk to the point of curt. It is a working family restaurant, not a romantic dinner, but the food is honest and the air-conditioning is cold — a real relief after walking around Pastrana Park in the afternoon.
