Ponsyon by Breakthrough

When in Iloilo, we usually try to make time to be able to lunch or dine at Tatoy's in the Arevalo district of the city. There, we enjoy native chicken inasal and grilled seafood. This time around, we weren't planning to go to Tatoy's but instead tried out other restaurants in the city, particularly at the Plazuela de Iloilo. The Plazuela is a relatively new development beside SM City Iloilo and has become a popular hangout for many people of different ages. Perhaps the most popular restaurant at the Plazuela is Ponsyon, which is related to another very popular restaurant in Arevalo - Breakthrough.

Clam soup and kinilaw na tanguigue
Grilled pork liempo and cuttlefish (lukon)
The sizzling scallops were perfect - and spicy
The sign for the restaurant indicates its affinity with the popular Breakthrough restaurant in Arevalo.
It is hard to get a table at Ponsyon during the peak lunch and dinner hours. As such, it is highly recommended that unless one is able to make reservations, it is better to have an early or late lunch or dinner. Otherwise, you'd just have to wait patiently for a table. Anyhow, their attentive staff will be attending to you and provide you with the menu so you can browse it and maybe even place your orders (it takes some time to cook).
