Road-side Stop-Over : Zamboanga Sibugay-Del Sur

If you plan to go on a road trip and happen to pass-by between the provinces of Zamboanga Sibugay (Ipil) and Zamboanga del Sur (Pagadian City), take your drive-break in these following locations ...
 

Have your lunch at KAN-ANAN SA BALSA.



They serve fresh sea food specializing in tilapia and crabs.  Order their fresh buko juice for they come straight from the coconut trees surrounding the fish-pond.

 

One can do fish-feeding while waiting for the orders to be cooked and served.  All of your orders will be manually prepared so be patient in the waiting.



Diplo, Kumalarang is around 1 to 1.5 hours drive from Pagadian City and around 2 hours from Ipil.



 


Take your snacks at BINGKAHAN SA BUSAY.



 
Missed bibingka cooked the old-fashion way?   It's here in Busay, Kumalarang around 1 to 1.5 hours drive from Pagadian City and around 2 hours from Ipil.


Watch out for those bibingka coming out fresh from their improvised ovens, they're the most tasty, especially when topped with Star Margarine! Sorry no butter around ...

Don't forget to bring along some pasalubong for relatives and friends.

 

Buy your pasalubong from the Bularan Sa Monching.


Looking for those mini-Danggit dried-fish?  You'll find them here at prices friendly to the wallet. Look for those dried-fish made locally, they are ones that are cheap.  I would not recommend buying the dried pusit here unless you forgot to buy them in Pagadian or Zamboanga City.

 
Dont forget to have them pack properly, wrapped in sheets of old newspapers and sealed with rounds of packaging tape.  I always bring with me these plastic boxes or these ice box where i place my purchases and seal them inside with rounds of packaging tapes.


Siay, Monching is around 2 hours from Pagadian City and 1 - 1.5 hours from Ipil, Zamboanga Sibugay.


Enjoy your road-trip!
