Balay Puti is the name of the house that once belonged to Adela Ledesma Locsin, said to be the most glamorous girl in town. She fell in love with a dentist, whom her parents disapproved of.
But when her parents died after World War II, she sought her former flame only to find out that he was already married to another woman.
Rumor has it that she had her house's second floor demolished so that she wouldn't see her former love and his new family, who just lived nearby ever again.
Adela never married. She died in 2012 at the age of 97.

Having pizza and beer at the Ruins is always a good idea. The 3-cheese pizza with EXTRA blue cheese is the best!

Bebang's batchoy is one of the best in the province. If you are looking for a classy diner, this is not your cup of tea. But if you are looking for an authentic Ilonggo batchoy, this is the place for you.

The best cake and pastry shop in Negros. There are countless of good ones. But Felicia's gets the gold medal for me. The sweetness is just but right! Impeccable service, too!

Watch out for houses or buildings that have a number of steps in their stairs, which are in the multiple of three as this would end in mata (death) following the Ilonggo superstition behind "Oro, Plata, Mata."
