Ilocano cuisine is distinct from the rest of the Philippines. It is bold, practical, and heavily reliant on fresh vegetables and ingenious preservation methods. The star of the show is undoubtedly Bagnet—pork belly boiled, dried, and deep-fried to crispy perfection. It’s an indulgence you simply must earn after a day of surfing or exploring.

Then there is the Ilocos Longganisa, a garlic-packed sausage that is a breakfast staple. Pair it with garlic rice and a fried egg, and you have the "Longsilog," the breakfast of champions. And for the health-conscious, there is Pinakbet, a vegetable stew flavored with shrimp paste (bagoong) that showcases the region's bountiful produce.

Farm-to-Table at Alona's

At **Alona's Highland Flavors**, we take this tradition a step further. We believe that the best ingredients are grown, not bought. We harvest our own herbs, vegetables, and fruits right here on the property. When you order our Pinakbet, you are tasting vegetables picked that very morning.

Whether you want a traditional Kamayan feast (eating with your hands) or a modern twist on classic dishes, our kitchen is ready to serve you the authentic taste of Ilocos.
