When you’re in Palawan, don’t miss out on trying these delicacy foods:

1. TAMILOK

“They’re called ‘worms’ because they’re slimy and look like them, but they’re not really worms (trust me!). They taste like oysters and you can buy them in Puerto Princesa, where locals sell them. People usually marinate them with calamansi, vinegar, chili (labuyo), and chopped onions. You can get it at lots of restaurants in Puerto Princesa, but the most famous place is Kinabuchs Grill and Bar on Rizal Avenue.

2. CROCODILE SISIG

You can ask to have it marinated with lime or soy sauce and extra spices or herbs. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even have it cooked like Bicol Express, especially if you like spicy food! Crocodile meat tastes like chicken, with a mild flavor and firm texture. It’s a healthy option with lots of protein and low fat. Kinabuchs Grill and Bar is the best spot to give it a try.

3. MUD LOBSTER

You should definitely try the mud crab, often cooked with coconut milk and chili, or steamed with vegetables. And if you’re in Coron, Palawan, check out Lobster King for a variety of delicious seafood dishes.

4. LATO SEAWEED

Lato seaweed, also known as sea grapes or green caviar, is a popular dish in Palawan due to its tender and juicy texture. It complements fried dishes well and is usually served with salt or vinegar. While it’s common in the Philippines and nearby areas, the best quality Lato seaweed comes from the municipality of Cuyo in Palawan. Cuyo, Palawan is a great destination known for its group of islands with beautiful white sand beaches, perfect for activities like snorkeling, island hopping, and simply relaxing on the beach. Lato salad has become a favorite among travelers visiting Cuyo. Kalui Restaurant, also located on Rizal Avenue in Puerto Princesa, is another spot where you can try this delicious Lato salad.
