Stop over at the Empanada and Mami stalls in Batac. I didn’t know about it during my first visit and to think this was just within the town center of Batac. Glory’s Empanada  was super yummy and so was the Mami at Mami Bel’s Noodle Stall.  After the fulfilling lunch, I sneaked out to take photo of the heritage houses nearby even though it was not part of our itinerary.
