When In Vigan

Visited Ilocos Sur once again and hit the streets of Vigan, as well as my dad's hometown of Magsingal for some street photography.

 

Here, I wanted to eat the famous "empanada", as Wikipedia describes it: An empanada is a type of baked or fried pasty in Hispanic cultures. The name comes from the Spanish verb empanar, and literally translates as "enbreaded", that is, wrapped or coated in bread; Empanadas are made by folding dough over a stuffing, which may consist of meat, cheese, corn, or other ingredients.

 

And it is famous for being absolutely delicious, and you know what? It is. And I'm usually picky when it comes to food especially those sold street side. But this was great that each time I visit Vigan, I make sure to eat a couple (or more).

 

The kind vendors of "Evelyn's Special Empanada and Okoy" are more than kind enough making a fresh batch of empanada for me! And didn't mind me photographing them in action.
