The Kubo Grill at Balaoan, La Union

Having an adventure up north always includes looking for a great place to eat. Depends on how adventurous one is, sometimes, you have to try to take a hard right hoping to find something interesting.

After a great escapade somewhere in Ilocos Norte, we’re bound to Manila when we decided to look for a place to, not just to eat (we are starving after a 4-hour drive, we’re somewhere between Bacnotan and Luna, La Union) but to unwind and enjoy an open field scenery as we find it so relaxing.


As we reach Balaoan Municipal Hall, (you will not miss this structure as it is massive compared to every establishment in the area) it is situated on the right side of Manila North Road if you’re Manila bound, we turn left on Balaoan Road, that road is in front of the Municipal Hall. Along Balaoan Road, you will see a simple establishment, the Kubo Grill, on the right side of the road guided by a huge tarpaulin sign that features all the food they can offer.


Surprisingly, they offer a wide variety of food, and to our amazement, when we reach the place, all we have ordered are available.



We tried their version of Sisig, Dinakdakan, Inasal, Lechon Kawali and their amazing Halo-Halo. We are very satisfied for every meal we’ve consumed, the serving, the taste, how fast they serve the food, the presentation and the warm conversation with Ate Josephine, and she prepares and cooks everything for us along with only one companion.


So, if you’re decided to explore La Union, you might want to consider visiting Kubo Grill. Another foodtrip place besides Halo-Halo de Iloko. They are located within Barangay Bulbulala, Balaoan, La Union. If so happen that you’re more than 4 people, we suggest that you call them beforehand to prepare your food much faster when you get there.

That Halo-Halo is just so tempting!!!

Cheerio!
