Where to Find Affordable Eats in Bacolod for the Budget-Conscious
Many people, both locals and tourists, go on adventures by just “winging it” or going on a backpacking trip. Traveling to a foreign nation for the first time and relishing in the unknown has an allure due to the element of adventure, intrigue, and slight danger it carries. On the other hand, some people meticulously plan their trips, but they never get around to trying the hidden gems that somehow elude them.
No matter where in Bacolod, apart from its well-known tourist holiday months, anyone can savor their food offerings at much more affordable prices and guarantee clean, above-board service. There is a wide variety of food options available here, all at affordable prices.
