WHAT TO EAT IN BORACAY:

EXPLORING ISLAND FLAVORS

Boracay isn't just a feast for the eyes; it's a culinary paradise waiting to be explored. From savory local delicacies to international flavors, here are the must-try foods that will tantalize your taste buds on this tropical island getaway.

CHORI BURGERS

Indulge in the unique fusion of flavors with Boracay's famed Chori Burger – a mouthwatering combination of chorizo and a juicy beef patty, generously slathered with special sauce and served in a warm bun. It's a local favorite that perfectly captures the island's vibrant culinary creativity.

CALAMANSI MUFFINS

Satisfy your sweet tooth with Boracay's signature Calamansi Muffins. These zesty treats combine the island's local citrus, calamansi, with the delightful sweetness of a muffin, creating a perfect balance of tanginess and sugary goodness. Grab a batch as a delicious souvenir or enjoy them fresh from the oven at local bakeries.

FRESH SEAFOOD FIESTA

Boracay's shores offer an abundance of fresh seafood, and you can't miss the chance to indulge in a seafood feast. Head to D'Talipapa, the island's seafood market, where you can pick your catch of the day and have it cooked to perfection by local restaurants. From grilled prawns to lobster, the options are as diverse as the underwater world surrounding the island.

CHICKEN INASAL

A trip to Boracay wouldn't be complete without savoring the flavors of Chicken Inasal. Marinated in a blend of local spices and grilled to perfection, this Filipino barbecue dish is a gastronomic delight. Pair it with garlic rice and a side of sinamak (spiced vinegar), and you're in for a taste bud celebration.

BUKO SHAKE

Beat the heat with Boracay's refreshing Buko Shake. Made from fresh coconut water, blended with coconut meat, and sweetened to perfection, this cool beverage is the ideal way to hydrate while lounging on the beach or exploring the island.

ADOBO FLAKES

Put a twist on the classic Filipino adobo with Adobo Flakes. This dish features shredded, seasoned meat (often chicken or pork) that's pan-fried until crispy. Enjoy it as a filling for tacos, sandwiches, or as a topping for garlic rice – a delightful blend of texture and flavor.
