     This is not a museum just so you know :p

    Hey ya! Hey ya! At isa pang malaking Hey ya! So wazzup people? Palagutom Boy is back! After 10 years (LOL), I am here again because once again, again and again and all over again, I have finally saved an amount of 100 pesos to afford another food, hihi. I told you Palagutom Boy is damn poor that I can not afford to buy my own food, LOL!

    So check the next cheap restaurant I discovered on which it can offer a great meal of 50.00 pesos. Well, although the value meal was 50.00 pesos, I want to be more sosyal so my drinks was amounting to 60.00 pesos, hihi. But before anything else, let me give you a brief story about this new restaurant I have been!

    If you are in Vigan, most especially if you are in Calle Crisologo, expect that the restaurants here are so much expensive because they are mainly "fine dining."

    But wait, for budget eaters like me, we deserve to eat along Calle Crisologo without paying for an expensive price. Yes, I am poor but finally I can now experience the glamor of dining along the great and famous Calle Crisologo. Yipeee! And that is because of a restaurant called Tummy Talk.

    Tummy Talk Restaurant in Vigan is housed in one of the ancestral houses of Vigan. Outside it looks like a museum or any typical Vigan house but it is actually a restaurant.

    Tummy Talk offers a value meal, I mean the "usual" value meal concept we buy at the carinderia but in here, it is much better of course. For a cup of rice, choose a vegetable and a meat dish then your value meal is complete! That's it! What makes it different? You're now dining along Calle Crisologo on which most restaurants lining it are expensive but remember, you're actually inside a cheap restaurant.

    But since I was not so much hungry, I tried the LongaBurger. From the name alone, I know you have an idea now. A fusion of Longanisa and Burger. And it was not just the ordinary Longanisa, because it contains  the famous Vigan Longanisa.

    Ok, that's it. Since I only have 100 pesos as budget, I tried to purchase this LongaBurger amounting to 50 pesos.

    So what about my drinks? That is a Mango Shake and it was refreshing I swear! It is worth 60 pesos. So I have exceeded with 10 pesos. Ok no worry, umutang ako sa friend ko ng 10 pesos pero sabi niya, "Hayaan mo nalang! Yeeee!

    So the total is 100 pesos. Should I wish to feature more food here at Tummy Talk, I need to save more money to come-up with another 100 pesos. So I will be back along the streets again to beg for alm, hihi..

    So that is my 100-peso challenge for today! By the way, sorry I was not able to take a cross-section photo of the LongaBurger :(

    The downside of this restaurant is that the space inside is limited. I calculated (without using a calculator) and it can contain only about 20-25 people inside. Ok, we can just say it can contain up to 35 but that would become sardinas (sardines-in-a-can) already. So for the customers to be comfortable enough, at least 20 people should be eating in maximum.

    Because the space is limited, people look for another restaurants because the restaurant is usually full-packed most of the time. The good thing here is that, they have set up tables outside for a Calle Crisologo street dining. Isn't that nice dining at the middle of Calle Crisologo? But using those tables outside would be first-come-first-serve basis again and the tables outside are not guaranteed to be always available there.

    Cheap
    But as I said, if you want dining along Calle Crisologo the cheap way and the Palagutom way, Palagutom Boy is recommending Tummy Talk along Calle Crisologo in Vigan.

    See ya for our next 100-peso challenge! Hope you come back again for our next post. This has been Palagutom blog, ang blog ng mga walang pera! Bye!
