The Bangus Festival 2010 is fast approaching and surely, the people of Dagupan City are now excited for the said celebration. As a Dagupena who was born, raised and graduated in the area, I would like to share another food worth trying if you are in Dagupan City.
See, our city is known as the ‘Bangus Capital of the World’. Bangus (Milkfish) from Bonuan is said to be the most delicious milkfish in the World. I do agree with that claim. It is the main reason why the Bangus Festival exist.
But I won’t be discussing about Bangus or anything related to it anyway.
One of the most in-demand food in Dagupan right now is the Pigar-Pigar. People from other towns usually go to Dagupan City just for this. Most pigar-pigar stalls are located at Galvan Street.
I do admit that when I was younger, I had a wrong impression about pigar-pigar. My dad used to eat with some of his friends, but my mom didn’t allow me to eat some. When I was in college, my classmates and co-workers invited me to eat dinner at Galvan once, until it became a once-in-a-month habit.
