My flight from Puerta Princesa got in around 5 p.m. and my main goal was to find local food safely served. The Orange Bucket fit the bill perfectly. The restaurant has maybe 30 tables and seems to cater to diners interested in fresh seafood boils - reminded me a lot of what I've seen and partaken of in southern Louisiana, with steamed crawfish and fresh seafood. The restaurant was well-lit, spotlessly clean, and well-managed. I went in at the door and immediately met a staff member who offered me my choice of seats. Picnic table seating, spacious and comfortable. No alcohol (which was pretty much the case everywhere I went except for the hotel bars). I was staying at the Belmont Hotel just a couple of blocks down the street and had no difficulty finding the Orange Bucket based on what was posted online. I had the beef bulgogi (641 PSP) - perfect! With (I believe) rice noodles and an A&W root beer (90 PSP). Perfect sized for a hungry traveler, seasoned just like I remember from my time serving with the US Army in Pusan, Korea. Given the quality of the service and the great taste of the food, a definite 5-star experience.

RATING FOR DELIVERY…read more Thai food at a seafood restaurant? I was curious; it never hurts to try. Looking at their Facebook page, they have frequent promos, which works well with my bargainista ways. We ordered from foodpanda: our food arrived fairly quickly (we live 1.4 miles away), and the food was nice and piping HOT! WE'VE TRIED - Tom Yum - meaty shrimp in delicious broth - Pad Thai - lots of Tofu. This is the closest you can get to authentic Thai, here in Angeles City. WHAT?! Delicious Thai food at a Cajun seafood joint? Who would have guessed?! Yup, we're ordering from here again! FYI: Located in a plaza behind Max's

The place was easy to spot, just look for the big red angry crab out in front. While the staff leads you to your table, you'll pass a tank filled with live crabs; you can't get any fresher than this. The restaurant is an open air restaurant so no air con just electric fans. WE ORDERED: - Fried shrimp (complimentary appetizer) - this was ok - Garlic rice was sticky, I wasn't wild about the flavor. - Chili Crab was swimming in a spicy tomato based curry sauce, there was a hint of sweetness: my guess is they used cooking wine. Crab was meaty, but not as sweet as blue crabs which are my favorite. They separated the crab into manageable portions before serving. - Mango shake was made from fresh fruit, this was thick, sweet and delicious. You'll pay a pretty penny here. I think you're enjoyment will depend on your individual taste: hubby liked the food more than I, so I'll give it a safe 3 stars.

I have never seen so many fresh crabs…read more My Grab driver recommended this to me as the best and he was 100 percent correct. This, he told me, is the superior seafood restaurant in the Angelas city area locally known yet also famous with tourists. The architecture is bamboo seeming made in the ancient traditional methods. The value was awesome. It cost me 35usd for a beer crabs and rice. The chilli crab was as good as any I have eaten in Singapore. The crabs are fresh and juicy still alive in the tank. I also saw the coconut crab which other diners loved or the steam crab is apparently the specialty of the house. By the way share these because the servings are large. I was hungry but I couldn't eat it all. The service is great and the staff were extremely warm, friendly and welcoming in the greatest Phillipino traditions. That grab driver deserves a high five from me

A couple of times the cook set a ribbon of oil on fire just for show. Empty dishes were taken right away. Heavy handed with salt, and garlic slices were on top of almost everything.

As one of the largest malls in the Philippines, SM City Clark has tons of shops and restaurants…read more There's a huge selection of eateries to choose from but I was sold on Gerry's Grill when I saw they had what they call "Juniors." Juniors are basically smaller portions and entrees that start at 215 Philippines Pesos or $3.64. I love this concept because it definitely allowed us to order a variety without having too much. Smaller portions at affordable price to share but more variety for the win! We chose to get Lechon Kare Kare, Tortang Talong and Pancit Palabok. For about $3-$4 the small portions were actually pretty big and quite sufficient for two people. I tried the Lechon Kare Kare first. The Lechon was perfectly crisp. I enjoyed that crunch. They gave lots of the Kare Kare broth which was perfect over white rice. I loved how much broth there was but I was disappointed with the taste. I couldn't really taste the peanut butter flavor. The dish was a bit on the bland side. On the opposite side was the Pancit Palabok. It wasn't bland but unfortunately they put too much salt and it was salty! I enjoyed the long silky noodles and eggs but the flavoring was just off for this. The Tortang Talong or eggplant omelette dish ended up being the best dish. Tortang Talong has always been one of my favorite Filipino dishes and I'm happy to say they did a good job with this dish. I loved that they even added some ground meat inside the omelette. Overall Gerry's Grill was ok. Price wise was a win- it was about $17 for 3 dishes and white rice. Tastewise however I only liked the Tortang Talong.
