Camiña Balay Nga Bato: Artisan Tsokolate Batirol Served in a Heritage Home Built in 1865 (Arevalo District Iloilo City)

Our visit to Camiña Balay Nga Bato is one of the most memorable Heritage Tours I've had.

We're so happy to support Camiña Balay Nga Bato as a National Museum-recognized important cultural property in 2015.

Curio Heritage Shop

So before proceeding to our intended agenda, we checked out the assortment of local products sold at the Curio Heritage Shop.

And, of course, I bought some Chocolate Tablea.

We were greeted by the staff who oriented us about their offerings. 

Upon choosing a guided tour, we were escorted to a simple living room or sala to watch a 10-minute video tour about the place.  

We were then given some time to explore and take photos.

For our group photos, like the one we had on this creaky staircase, we asked the staff for asssitance.

The second floor served as the dining area so there were a lot of wooden tables with rustic chairs.  

The vintage furniture, electronics, and dinnerwares, whispered a homey tale yearning to be heard.

And, for me that made the simple offering of Camiña Balay Nga Bato an authentic experience for cultural immersion.

For only 200 php, you can enjoy a two (2) rounds of their premium tsokolate de batirol served with a bowl of local biscuits.  Just ring the bell for a refill!  If you're lucky, they will even offer a complimentary third round.

♥ Tsokolate de Batirol and Local Biscuits

As we sipped on our Tsokolate de Batirol, nibbled on Local Biscuits, I felt a deep gratitude for the rare gift of slowness and presence as we were embraced by the cool breeze and homey ease.  We could never enjoy such privilege in the bustle of Manila.

The Tsokolate de Batirol is so thick and rich that you can already feel the caffeine kick from a small cupfull.  Thus, the two rounds is just enough!  We even had to ask for a glass of water to help us finish it.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict

Camiña Balay Nga Bato is a must visit in Iloilo City.  Yes, this is an encouraging invite to all of you to support one of the few heritage homes left in the Philippines!  The experience is truly one of a kind and reasonably priced.
