A well-known delicacy in Palawan is the Tamilok or woodworm. If you’re up to trying something exotic, then Tamilok is worth a shot. It’s not an actual worm but a mollusk found in rotting mangroves. It is usually soaked in vinegar with a bit of lime. Many restaurants and bars in Puerto Princesa serve this popular dish. 

Zipline your way through Sabang
