Even when I first came to Palawan I’ve noticed that on almost all the municipalities there are vietnamese restaurants. Apparently, in the past there were many Vietnamese who went to Palawan and shared their cooking to the locals.
When I asked one of my friends where to dine in Puerto Princesa other than the famous spots like Kalui, Kinabuch, Balinsasayaw and Badjao Seafront Restaurant she told me that I should try the Chaolong Noodles of Bona’s Chaolong. She also told me that the price range for her highly recommended dish was just around 50 Pesos. Since it was relatively cheap compared to the famous restaurants in Puerto Princesa I was highly interested. But what sealed the deal was when she told me that she was treating me there for dinner. Thanks Val! 
Since Val was the one who knows what’s best in the restaurant I let her order for me. She ordered Buto-Buto in Beef Stew Soup (50 Pesos) – when you say this it’s automatic that you’re ordering for Chaolong Noodles.

It was not in the menu so she had to specifically order it to the waiter. After adding some toge (monggo sprouts) and dipping the mint leaves I was ready to dine. Val was not joking! It was really good!
I ordered French Bread (10 Pesos) to accompany my Chaolong. A little dip on the Beef Stew Soup and it was a perfect combination.

We then saw a sign of their newest refreshment, the Yakult Shake. Unfortunately, it was a bad decision on our part to try it. I only had a small hint of Yakult on the shake that it tasted more like water shake. I suggest sticking to the normal drink for this restaurant.

Would I recommend Bona’s Chaolong?
Definitely! I’ve tasted different Chaolongs around Palawan and this is by far the most delicious of them all.
How to get there
From any point of Puerto Princesa City Proper ride a tricycle and tell the driver that you are going to Bonas. Depending on where you are in the city the fare would range from 8 to 10 Pesos.

By the way, the restaurant is not aircon. But it has electric fans around.
I’m not sure whether if the restaurant is open 24 hours.
