The town of Liliw in Laguna is one of the more looked-over towns when you compare it to the likes of Los Ba\u00f1os, Calamba, Pansol, and the like. It\u2019s usually a pit stop that\u2019s hardly explored\u2026 until today.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of shops and souvenirs we\u2019d like to share about Liliw with you from one of Philippine Primer\u2019s recent trips:<\/p>\n

Entrada<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A trip to Liliw is never complete without dropping by one of their many footwear stores along Gat Tayaw St, the city\u2019s main street for shoe sales. Entrada, however, stands out from the rest thanks to its beautiful displays.<\/p>\n

Entrada sells trendy sandals made from Abaca for as low as Php 200. They\u2019re also known for selling beautiful shoes called pumps at low prices. One tip: buy in bulk the next time you pass by Entrada. They offer a lot of colors and sizes for one pair of sandals or shoes and it would save you a lot of time and money.<\/p>\n

Socialite<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another one of Liliw\u2019s most popular shops, Socialite has been around for several decades and is one of the pioneer shops in town.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re known for the variety of bags, shoes, and sandals they sell. One of the things you\u2019ll immediately notice is their large sandal on display. While you can\u2019t get something this big (unless your feet are actually that big), you can have a pair made to order and then delivered to Manila.<\/p>\n

Capiz Shell Bowls<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Capiz shell, which comes from window pane oysters, used to be a staple in Filipino homes because of its namesake. Their shells are commonly used as materials for window panes, giving those ancestral Filipino homes a touch of local you can\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also seen as a material for lampshades, but some shops in Liliw have taken it a step further and made something you hardly see nowadays: capiz shell bowls. These decorative bowls will give your dining room and kitchen counters that same touch of local flair you can\u2019t get otherwise… unless you go all out and buy locally-made bowls and plates.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Espasol<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It\u2019s one of those rice cakes that the world can\u2019t seem to understand, yet Filipinos know by heart. Espasol<\/em> is a cylinder-shaped rice cake that\u2019s a specialty in Laguna, though Liliw is where you can find some of the best.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s made from rice flour cooked in coconut milk and sweetened coconut strips, later dusted with toasted rice flour. They might look like rolls of paper, but once you open them you\u2019ll be in for a surprise.<\/p>\n

Espasol has a smoky and (sometimes) nutty flavor that will have you looking for more. It\u2019s balanced out by how sweet the rice cake is. It\u2019s the perfect pasalubong<\/em> or souvenir from Liliw for anyone who wants snacks but doesn\u2019t want to go too deep into snacking on sweet rice cakes.<\/p>\n

You can find espasol<\/em> in nearly every store selling pasalubong in Liliw for about P100 for 3 pcs.<\/p>\n
