Another yummy place in Panglao
Binalot
Panglao is one of Bohol’s hidden culinary gems that offers Filipino dishes wrapped in banana leaves.
In Filipino, binalot means “wrapped.” The owner of Binalot Rommel Juan had been
inspired by his memories from childhood, when food used to be served in banana
leaves during family picnics. The re-discovery of an age-old but very clever Filipino
dining practice much better than styrofoam lunch packs – banana leaves! The
“banana leaves” are a welcome, refreshing substitute to the non-biodegradable styrofoam
box.
“I like the way the taste stays even after you ate them,”
shares Bon Ryan Bongato. “It's affordable and
great to eat during the mountain side and island hopping tours, beach party and any other types of
party, family gathering and even just eating within our homes.”
