Balaw balaw used to be the lone exotic restaurant in Angono Rizal.  It was founded by Perdigon Vocalan one of the noted artists in Angono.  He is now deceased and his wife Luzviminda runs the restaurant.  Balaw balaw is both a  great place to eat and a museum.  It was featured internationally at TLC for "Bizarre Food" by Andrew Zmerman.  (The video shot was done by a cousin - Bobet Angeles)
