Pagudpod FoodPAGUDPOD FOOD Pagudpud or Pagudpod as its often called is a perfect place to chill out and relax. Famous for the pristine white sands of Saud Beach and its almost un-commercialized, so it’s perfect for a real getaway, come visit before everyone else finds out! It didn’t get selected as Asia’s best beach for nothing! As the there are no bars except in the various hotels and resorts, and not many restaurants so most food is eaten within the various resorts and most offer very reasonable food at economical prices. There a few economical eateries along the road but not many and prices are reasonable. The prices vary from cheap to very expensive as are the quality of the meals, with some travel sites slamming some of the restaurants but one bad experience doesn’t mean it’s always so. Slow service is a key complaint and this is a major problem in the main tourist season. Tartaruga's Hotel has recently opened and its restuarant is already very popular, they serve simple but tasty food and its an International menu, they serve fast and hot and most importantly its affordable as well. Check out the menu on this website. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner until late With the long dry season, the Ilocos Region is ideal for growing fruit crops such as mango, avocado, tamarind, otaheiti gooseberry, jambolan and others. The Carabao’ mango is considered as one of the best varieties in the world. There is plenty of fresh seafood to be had everywhere and fresh lobster is good value. You can buy fresh seafood on the beach front every morning where you can get freshly caught fish, squid and lobsters. The lobsters are cheap at around 280-350 pesos per kilo (that’s USD$7 per kg or $3 per pound!). BERGBLICK This great new German inspired restaurant is located at Burayoc Point.
