While Palawan is separate from the rest of Luzon, it is still part of the region known as Southern Tagalog, and as such its cuisine has a lot in common with those of other Tagalog provinces. With two separate coasts facing vast bodies of water, Puerto Princesa<\/strong> is also known for its seafood products, particularly dangit and \u201cballpen\u201d dried squid. <\/p>\n

One exotic dish that Puerto Princesa locals often dare visitors to eat is tamilok<\/em>, a worm-like mollusk usually found boring through wooden docks and ships. Dipped in spicy vinegar and eaten raw, this delicacy may seem unsightly for some but actually has a soft, briny taste akin to oysters.<\/p>\n

Many use the city as a gateway or hub to explore the province\u2019s beautiful islands and attractions. For those who will stay for a day or so, the city is home to a number of restaurants that showcase local cuisine. If you\u2019re looking for some places to eat in Puerto Princesa, the ideal place to start is at Rizal Avenue, where many of the city\u2019s best-known restaurants reside. Here\u2019s a quick list of some of the most popular rests in the city:<\/p>\n
