The way the sausage was cooked was with a sweeter sauce that I didn't prefer and then the pancit itself was just fine.

Though I am not a local, I've literally been coming here for 20+ years when I'm home in Dumaguete. This place I also associate with home because my grandma's house was literally two doors down and we would come here to eat. This place will always share a special piece of my heart as my dad would frequent this place and eat here everyday when he was staying next door. For years my dad would bring his guests here and they would not disappoint. If you want good food, and even better company - rest assured you'll find it here. Shout to the staff and management who cared for my dad, Dodong Manny Garcia, as their own and fed him well. The Garcia family loves this place! Ambiance: you can bring a date, your family, or party with your friends on their live music nights. This place is poppin' and clean. I feel safe here - their bathrooms are clean and their service is excellent. the beautiful thing about this place is that it can even host big parties. We've even had tables of 16+ people accommodations for us. Seating: You have plenty of choices. Downstairs by the stage. Upstairs with a great view of the beach.Bar seating. And even indoor seating in Lab-as. Take your pick! Food: Tapsilog always a fave. They have extremely fresh fish and sell it by the pound. It is soooo tasty I cannot. I love their LapuLapu and an all-around fave is the Bangus lumpia. Fresh mango shakes and calamansi are a must. Alcohol: Take your pick. They have top shelf and local beer. They make extravagant drinks with flames and everything! Drinks here are IG worthy alongside the food. You will go home well fed and nourished. Parking: Be smart about it - there's a lot in the front that people are willing to help park (you're expected to tip) and even better it's not so clustered like it is in South point... this place literally giives you everything you need! Do yourself a favor and stay awhile...enjoy this place and Hayahay through the night because you will be more than impressed by this place. It is a must go to in Dumaguete!

It overlooks the white sand beach, so its great location provides a means for escaping the sun and lazying about in the shade some -- with a view! The fresh seafood stood out to me, their selection dependent of course on what they are able to catch. Our server was super sweet and did inform me that they only had one *Lapu-Lapu*/ grouper remaining, but only at 600g, which was totally fine with me! My 600g *Fried Lapu Lapu* was massive! It came with rice, as it ever the case, and a halved calamansi. I did wish that they had provided vinegar or patis instead for that added sour character, but one cannot complain with fresh seafood. Such a meaty fish it was; it hit the spot! Their breakfast items were still available, so the *Suman Set with Mango and Native Chocolate Drink* (P180), a Cebuano specialty with the hot chocolate/ sikawate, was ordered as it did sound more like dessert to me. The suman is very similar to sticky rice, but maybe a little more dense and aromatic as it is wrapped in a banana leaf. I think the idea was to dip the suman in the chocolate which I found to be quite delectable. On it's own though, the hot chocolate was strangely thin and a tad sour, something I wouldn't expect with drinking chocolate, so I stuck to dipping the suman and periodically eating the fresh mango. To add to my grand afternoon feast, I also ordered a *Mango Daquiri*. This was very boozy! But, in the end, it was not as cold I would have preferred. A perfect scenery for an afternoon lunch; what more can you ask for?

Located street side with an open air concept, this is the first ever Bucket Shrimps location. This…read moreoriginal location is located in what used to be the owner's grandma's parking lot. Bucket Shrimps offers a cajun flavour which has been fine tuned to Filipino taste buds. It is a bit sweeter and absolutely bowl licking tasty. It can be spicy or non-spicy. There is also garlic butter flavour. As the name suggests, they offer buckets of shrimps. But it does not end there, you can get crab, mussels, bbq pork, liempo as well. So you can get both seafood and grilled pork items. Eat this with rice. There may be more on the menu, but we stuck to the above. The concept is similar to restaurants offering cajun seafood boiled in plastic bags, but instead of serving the food in boiled plastic bags (which I have to admit is rather unappetizing), this place serves them in appetizing looking buckets :). There are no utensils provided, they give you gloves. There are no plates provided, you just put the food straight on the plastic table cover. You can order beer here as well. Everything was scrumptious and the location is just so unique for North American Standards, like an old school carinderia street food, with no quality being compromised. Kamayan style, street food style, this place is really a different and fun dining experience!!! Note: there may be kids who may come in and ask you to buy their items. This might take away from the tranquility of eating your food in peace.
