Iggy’s Bonuan Seafood Restaurant: Bangus and More of the Simple Things in Life

Passing by South Drive (a lot *hihi), I found myself wondering what the ambiance was like at Iggy’s Inn.  I had the perfect excuse for going in, the Bonuan Seafood Restaurant.  (Brings back memories, hearing this restaurant advertised on the radio when I was young. ^^,)
