Bakhaw Kiwi Family Restaurant
Bakhaw Kiwi
A small family eatery beside the mangroves, where the owner cooks with vegetables picked fresh; kinilaw (cured raw fish) is the signature. Cheap, but expect a wait.
Set in the owner's home courtyard in Logon village, near the National High School and beside the mangroves, this is the top-ranked budget restaurant on the island on Tripadvisor. Owner and chef Gemma picks vegetables from her garden only after an order comes in. Kinilaw, cured raw fish, is the most praised dish; one diner came back two days in a row for it. Fried eggplant, cordon bleu pork cutlet, chicken curry and ginger squash soup also get good reviews. Prices are very low: two diners, including beer, paid 560 pesos in total. The downside is waits that often reach an hour, so order ahead. The setting is simple, and while you wait you may hear a family singing karaoke.
