Cultural Shows and Events
Talaba Festival
The talaba (oyster) is one of the
gems of seafood cooking in many of the city’s
households, especially those near the sea. A festival is
held in celebration of its succulent taste that grace
many dishes, casual and exotic alike. People can be
found cheering the contestants in an oyster-shucking
contest or licking their lips at the floating aroma and
creative presentations of various delectable dishes
entered in a cooking showdown or maybe do more than just
watching and just tucking in to an oyster feast in one
of the local dining houses, which often give generous
extras during the celebration. Exhibits can’t be left
out. Usually, there’s also a beauty pageant and some
performances of local bands.
