Approximately 147 kilometers from Manila is The Science city of Munoz, NE
This was our last stop before we head back to Marikina from where we started.
By this time, we already looped around Luzon counter-clockwise and this is the 5th day.
We left Vigan at around 8AM. We visited Manaoag Church in Pangasinan at around 12 PM. We had lunch there.
At around 3PM, we arrived at Munoz, NE.
We rested for a while. As it gets dark, we pitched our tents and headed for the market to get some raw fish to cook.
We got some catfish. It’s grillin’ time.
We had a good meal that night.
This is grilled milkfish or BANGUS. (oh so sweet) with chili and fish paste sauce
Of course, the PINAKBET [sauteed mixed veggies] fav of the ilocanos
And finally, sauteed mongo beans with shrimps and leafy veggies. I like it!
These are all eaten with rice.
Here is something about Munoz:
