Today we’re going to have another Boracay food trip but this time we’re doing a budget meal edition. Tourist destinations are expected to be pricey and the dining scene in Boracay is not an exception. However, it is not impossible to have a great culinary experience on the island without breaking the bank. Here are two budget-friendly restaurants we tried during our vacation.
Jasper’s Tapsilog and Resto
Our first stop is Jasper’s Tapsilog and Resto. They have been serving all-time Filipino favorites on the island since 1995. Lunch and dinner time is always a blockbuster at Jasper’s because the food is cheap and delicious.
They are specifically known for their all-day breakfast meals such as Tapsilog for less than PHP 100.00. They also serve various ulam in classic turo-turo style and their menu changes every day so you will never get tired of their food.
Here are some of the dishes we tried during our visit.
The Verdict: 4.5 / 5.0
Address: Station 2 Main Rd. Boracay Island Malay, Aklan
Operating Hours: 6:00 AM – 9:00 PM
Kolai Mangyan
Less than 200 m away from Jasper’s is another budget-friendly restaurant, Kolai Mangyan. It is located in front of the newly opened Hennan Park Resort. The restaurant is known for serving rice toppings called “Budbud” and “Bulasing” which is a combination of Bulalo and Sinigang soup.
They also offer all-day breakfast meals and sizzling plates with most of it for just under PHP 100.00. The restaurant’s bamboo and nipa nut-inspired interior perfectly match Boracay’s tropical island vibes.
