This poor Palagutom Boy landed to the town of Caoayan in Ilocos Sur in search for a cheap food because he can not afford expensive food. Caoayan is the hometown of the former president of the Philippines, ELPIDIO QUIRINO, just so you know (with mataray intonation pattern like: "Jhazzz ssoooo yaaa knowww!")

Anyway, when I visited a restaurant called IHAWAN SA CAOAYAN, I've seen on their menu about this intriguing food called CAOAYAN NOODLES.

Opkors, there are a lot of noodles in the world and this one caught my attention. I wanted to know what makes this noodle different from the other noodles I have tasted.

At around ~60 pesos (I can't remember the exact price), I ordered this menu. I will give it a score of 6/10. There was nothing special aside from the fact that the name of this food carries the name of the town of Caoayan. I was not able to see something that represents a distinct taste of Caoayan. The only difference is that there are some stuff added like the onion leaf, the Baguio cabbage and the chunks of pork.

But in fairness, this restaurant is so relaxing and beautiful, Their best seller is their boodle fight! Yip yeah!!! I'll be featuring their 'best' meals once I get back here (and if I will have the money to buy food, because you know I'm damn poor)! -end-
