Here are 12 restaurants in Bay City you must try at least once:
A-Won
For authentic Korean delicacies, it is best to taste the homecooked meals prepared by a Korean eomoni or mother. Fortunately, we know just the place to enjoy a generous serving of Korean meat barbecues—A-Won.
Unlike the modern grill tables used in other restaurants, A-Won upholds the traditional way of cooking Korean barbecue with the use of coconut charcoal from Davao.
Some of the must-try barbecue meat items are Saeng-galbi or Grilled Beef Ribs (P800) for beef lovers and Samgyeopsal or Grilled Pork Belly, which is a very reasonable treat at Php 350.
