Bacolod City is not only known for its chicken inasal at Manokan Country. There’s also a local dining place for seafood lovers in the city which the locals know more dearly as the Old Pala-pala.

It is a haven for a lot of tourists who want to see up front how their food is cooked and experience how to eat seafood like a local in Bacolod City.

The locals call this spot because of the long stretch of seafood restaurants lined up in the area. A few of them are Scarborough Seafoods, Enting’s Seafood Restaurant, East Pala-Pala Resto Grill, and Jak’s Seafood Place and Car Wash, and the venue’s variety makes it a perfect place for a food trip.
