To truly experience Bangui like a local, you must indulge in the delicious local cuisine. Head to the local eateries and try some authentic Ilocano dishes. Sample the famous bagnet, a crispy deep-fried pork belly, or the mouthwatering empanada, a savory pastry filled with meat and vegetables. Don't miss out on trying the local delicacy called pinakbet, a vegetable stew made with a variety of fresh vegetables and shrimp paste. Pair your meal with some traditional rice cakes like bibingka or puto bumbong for a complete culinary experience.
