The Ilocano word dulang means table. This event features table foods. Its the 5th year
that is being celebrated in concurrence with the Pamulinawen Festival of Laoag City.
There were restos being invited to showcase and sample their food products.
Most of the foods featured
are traditional. I have seen
the dudol, cascaron, kinalti,
pakbet, longanissa, and
many others. The Ilocanos
are fond of eating malunggay
or horseradish thus uniquely
made products from this are
also e xhibited.

The popular horse-drawn carriage of the Philippines is the star of the show at the recently held Kalesa
