Bacolod is one of the best food cities in the Philippines. Chicken inasal -- grilled chicken marinated in vinegar, calamansi, and annatto -- is the local obsession, and the open-air pala-pala seafood markets let you pick your fish and have it cooked to order. The dining scene ranges from street stalls to proper restaurants, and the quality is consistently high. Just ask any local where to eat and you will not go wrong.
