Balaring, a small barangay in Silay City, is one of our family’s frequent lunchtime destination. We usually go here after the Sunday morning mass especially when the weather is breezy and the skies are clear.
Hectares of sugarcane plantations hide rows of seaside restaurants such as this. (Tama Plaza, the largest among them)

They offer mostly seafood dishes in their menu, with an exception for ’staples’ like porkchop. (Which I usually order, to counterbalance the mostly seafood meal.)
For starters, we almost always get a mini-basin of “talaba” (local oysters) which my father likes.

My sister’s fave is the buttered squid.

Since my mother likes to have her shrimps, veggies, and “sabaw” (soup), what can be more perfect than the “sinigang nga hipon” (shrimp in sour-based soup).

My brother likes the boneless bangus.

Here’s the porkchop, I mentioned earlier.

Sili and calamansi with sinamak and toyo is the perfect all-around sawsawan.

Here’s how to get to there:
(Brgy. Balaring, Silay City, Negros Occidental)
From Bacolod, take the National Highway going north. Right after the Silay City proper, turn left at the Dona Teresita Jalandoni Provincial hospital. You will see a number of “Brgy. Balaring” signs, just follow them until you see rows of bamboo restaurants by the sea.
Enjoy Negros!

Daniel, Balaring is easy to find. just follow the road beside the Jalandoni Hospital right after Silay City proper. You have to turn right at the highway if you’re from the airport.
There’s a lot of good seafood restaurants in silay, though not known to most people. Aside from food, the city also vested with rich cultural heritage like old houses. Silay city also has new airport, an international standard airport in the country. However, I noticed the management can not maintain the facilities like the comfort room. They have increased the terminal fees to Php200 but the CRs are so dirty. I have been to different airports in diffent countries and their airports are well maintained especially the CR. The management of the airport doesn’t seem to know the importance of the CR.
The food looks very delicious. Nice photography. I guess I will have to visit this resto. I also like oysters and calamari!
that’s a yummy post gladz…maybe we should try having our blogger’s meeing there! xdeal?? hihi…
i love to eat talaba beacause it taste delicious,seafoods is foods with many vitamins,so its better to eat seafoods than to eats a vitamin because seafoods is natural source of vitamins
