Laoag City Capital of Ilocos Norte We left the hotel after much bye byes with their staff. I had a glimpse at the clock at the dashboard of the van, it was 11:00AM that time and we were in front Pagudpud Municipal Hall already. A quarter past mid afternoon and we were already at Laoag City proper. The ride was a lot quicker compare to last time. No more “photo ops” and sight seeing maybe. Since we just had a heavy breakfast at Apo Idon and kids were not ready for lunch, we decided to try the Laoag Empanada. One traffic aide told us that we can found that Empanada at the food court which was at the back of PNB Building. Off wego and after few minutes, we were eating this special empanada. It is very different from the empanada that I knew. It has an orange color and a crispy shell or cover. Inside it was the same longanisa ingredients we used to ate for breakfast at Apo Idon. Also were eggs and finely cut potatoes. The taste was good but too much cooking oil for me. First stop after the special empanada encounter was at Museo Ilocos. This turn out to be very helpful. From their office they gave us a leaflet, sort of a tour guide for Ilocos Norte. In that office also we saw pictures of the entire town in Ilocos Norte with its important and significant places to discover. How ironic, it was a semestral break when geography class started with my kids. A very minimal fee to enter the museum is needed. Common to any museum, we found history, arts, culture, and famous people of Ilocos Norte.
