Exotic Foods

Adventurous and brave enough to feast on these?

  • Isaw (Chicken intestine)
    • You can find it in almost all barbecue places.

  • Balut (Duck embryo)
    • People sell them in the streets on a bike or walking. They shout out "BALUUUUUUT!" so you definitely won't miss them.

  • Lansiao / Soup #5 (Bull/horse testicle soup)
    •  There's a carindiria near SM Mall where you can find it. It should be easy to ask locals around to point you to the place. Also, in a lot of carindiarias, they sell Lansiao.

  • Ginabot (Deep friend pork innards)
    •  If you see food stalls in the streets (pungko-pungko), they most likely serve ginabot. It's a very popular street food. 

  • Dugo-dugo / Dinuguan (Pig blood soup)
    •  From carinderias to bigger Filipino restaurants, dinuguan is in their menu. 

  • Goat Head Caldereta (An entire goat's head in tomato-based soup)
    •  It can also be found in the carindiria near SM Mall. 

  • Tuslob-buwa/Linarang (Boiled pork brain and liver)
    • Pasil is the best place for this, but you can also find them in other carinderias.

Do they sound tasty enough or do you want photos to induce your appetite? ;-)



Tip:
  • There are stalls beside Mactan's City Hall that offer you a range of exotic foods. They close at 5 p.m. or until food supplies last so it's best to go there by lunch time!
  • Pasil is also popular for cooking up all kinds of exotic foods.
