Jagna Gama`s Calamay Special

4.2(5 reviews)

About

On Bohol, Jagna Gama`s Calamay Special can be found on San Jose St in Tagbilaran City. The name points to calamay, the coconut and rice sweet that Bohol is known for, and the shop trades on that local speciality. First-time visitors can expect a small counter operation selling calamay in the form sold across the island.

A rating of 4.2 out of 5, drawn from 5 reviews, reflects the response of those who have bought here. Tagbilaran is the island's main city and its arrival point, so the shop sits within reach of Panglao, Alona Beach and Baclayon. The Chocolate Hills, the Loboc River and the Tarsier Sanctuary lie further into the island, with Anda to the east.

Filipino cooking uses vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and fish paste, with dishes such as pancit noodles and lumpia. Jeepneys converted from US military vehicles serve as shared public transport on the Philippine islands. The Philippines is predominantly Catholic, and town fiestas honouring patron saints are held across the islands.
