Silay Public Market
Description
Public market serving Silay households and heritage-district food businesses. In Silay, the heritage city north of Bacolod, with the airport and 30-plus ancestral houses. Public markets here run hardest before 8am, when the night’s catch is in and upland produce has just come down; by late morning it’s mostly dry goods and leftovers. Prices are negotiable in the wet and dry sections. Worth a stop for muscovado, tablea and native sweets at market rather than shop prices — bring small notes and your own bag.
Tips
El Ideal"s guapple pie is best eaten the same day. The heritage houses keep short hours and close Mondays, so pair the bakery with a morning house tour rather than an afternoon one. Balay Negrense has been reported closed for renovation — check before going.
Stops
Northern Sugar & Seafood Corridor
How to get there
Roughly 20-30 minutes north of Bacolod by jeepney or bus; Bacolod-Silay Airport is on the edge of town.
Best Times
