Boracay Gastronomy — From D'Talipapa Market to the Original Calamansi Muffin
While restaurants on Boracay beach are expensive, you can enjoy seafood at half price by buying it at D'Talipapa Market and paying a cooking fee (paruto). Bargaining is essential, and be sure to check the scale. Transportation within the island is by tricycle (electric shuttle), and only cash (pesos) is accepted at markets and stalls.
