Coco Hut Fried Chicken and Fish

The first time I saw an ad for instant ulam being cooked in a plastic bag, it weirded me out,…read moremostly because of the belief that plastic isn't meant to be cooked in. So when I heard of a restaurant doing the same, I wanted to see and try it for myself. It was a Sunday when we headed to Boiling Seafood in Alabang Town Center. It's nice because they charge by the weight of the seafood then you get to choose from several options for the sauce you want to have it cooked in. We were quite lucky in arriving a bit early for dinner as soon after we ordered, the tables were all occupied and there was already a short queue for tables. I like how they gave each of us bibs to ensure our clothes wouldn't get stained. Excited, we first had a taste of their buffalo wings. It had a sweet and slightly spicy sauce, which was a good match to the ranch dressing it came with. We were a bit short on the dressing, so we asked for more and were given another serving with no extra charge. Then our mains were served, and I ogled at the crabs, shrimps, and clams all in clear plastic bags, swimming in their respective sauces. I first got the crab (mostly so I can get the parts I liked), which we had cooked with curry. It was delicious and really tasted of coconut cream. Then I had the clams cooked in butter and garlic. I personally don't like clams very much, but I would say that I'm pretty sure the clams were fresh because it was soft and not rubbery. To finish, I had a few pieces of the shrimps in sweet chili garlic. It was delectable! The sauce was so good, I took a spoonful and drizzled it on my rice. That dinner was so good, just writing about it now is making me crave for Boiling Seafood again!

The Market Basket in Festival Mall, Alabang (brought to us by the same group which gave us Kuse and…read moreUncle Cheffy's) modernizes the "dampa" concept that Filipinos have come to love. What's not to love about having your pick at the choicest fresh seafood sourced from the restaurant's trusted supplier, and having it cooked to your liking in the store while you wait? A trip to the Market Basket is a family affair, as it is the perfect place for family celebrations around hearty meals and a fun atmosphere. Upon coming into their dining area, you will notice a fresh and natural herb scent from the potted plants that they have near the display table, masking the otherwise fishy smell from the raw fish, shellfish and crustaceans on display. The servers will gladly introduce you to the fresh catch of the day, and they will recommend awesome recipes, which will be carefully and thoughtfully executed by their chefs and cooks. Their ala cart dishes are reminiscent of traditional Filipino party favorites, and their wine lists has offerings that pair well with the food. I particularly loved the surf and turf, which had a great balance in flavor. I also love their modern and "Western" twist on traditional Filipino desserts. I was particularly intrigued by the sapin sapin creme brulee, and the hot macapuno served with ube ice cream on a sizzling skillet. Expect prices to vary with every visit, as the prices on the list are dictated by the supply and the availability of the produce. This is an example of a good restaurant to bring foreign guests - the interiors are remarkably reminiscent of old Filipino houses, but the food is world-class and somehow beginner-friendly. Overall, the Market Basket is a special experience for those who may not like the crowded, muddy and sometimes disorderly seafood wet markets around the metro.

Walking along River Park, I immediately noticed this restaurant's white and homey design. I looked…read moreat the menu and found that they serve fresh fish and seafood (seafood-paluto style) as well as fresh salads good for my vegan brother. This was perfect for our family lunch on Father's Day. For that day, the staff said that they will be serving buffet. All the better so that we could taste many dishes. After getting agreement from the family, I booked a table for us. There were no more outdoor tables available, which would have been nice as the restaurant is by the river in River Park. But when we arrived, we saw that our table on the second floor has a nice view of the river. What I particularly like in the buffet is the stuffed crab and the baked oysters with cheese, though all the seafood tasted nice. For drinks, we ordered iced tea and they came in these cool mason jar-like glasses. On ordinary days, though, you can just pick some fresh fish and seafood and ask them to cook for you. They also have steaks, vegetable dishes, and pasta on their menu.

Superbowl Of China serves scrumptious Asian dishes such as sweet and sour pork, schezuan shrimp, hongkong style spicy shrimp, wantons, dimsums and many more. When I'm here, I can't leave without eating their lemon chicken as their version of this breaded goodness with sweet, tangy lemon sauce is superb and the best that I've tasted so far. The ambience was beautifully made, the color of purple and gold brings the restaurant alive and the wooden furnitures gives a feeling of warmth and serenity to every customer. The employees and the waiters were also very polite and accommodating, I remembered one of my friends accidentally spilled her drink and the manager just replaced it even if it wasn't their fault, talk about great customer service!

This restaurant has been an institution or a staple that has been around ever since I was a kid.

Their ribs are tender and juicy as the meat falls off the bones. I love the fact that their ribs taste exactly the same as it did years ago. Their service could be improved as it is quite difficult to get the staff's attention. Typical American style, the food portions are quite large and is good for sharing.

There was a mix of classic renditions, and some unique ones: we got the sinigang with watermelon, and the crispy pancit palabok and were impressed with the latter.

We were expecting the long line but, we didn't expect to be 8th in line when we arrived. After about 35 minutes (and about 8 servings of free peanuts), we finally got a table. Once seated, we immediately ordered the sizzling kansi, tortang talong with crispy sardines and kesong puti, grilled sticks of isol (chicken tail), inasal na paa, and thin cut liempo. Yes, we were HANGRY! ALL the dishes must be eaten with rice. The dishes are rich and fatty and you really need the rice to soak up the sauce of each dish. The dishes are simple but the flavors were the right amount of salty, sweet and sour. My favorite dish, hands down, is the Sizzling Kansi. It is seerved with bone marrow and the tangy sauce is perfect with the tender meat. For rice, you have to try their ginamos fried rice. Definitely a place to visit, this restaurant serves no frills Negranese style food. Great place for casual dining with friends and family. :)

I'm glad I decide to get it mixed in with the fish. It was still crispy and had just the right amount of heat and sweetness. Eat immediately! - Kare Kare: I LOVED that the tripe was grilled yet still so tender. This added another layer of flavor to the whole dish. The sauce was a smidge too sweet but that didn't stop me from devouring this. The vegetables were nicely cooked as well. Ask for an extra serving of bagoong. - Crispy Kansi: Life changing. The marrow had a slight citrus flavor that cuts through the unctuousness. Spoon some on top of some rice, and top with some gravy = the perfect bite! - Pinakbet: The vegetables were cooked just right. Somehow, the okra was not slimy! I could not really taste the aligue in this though. - Tortang Talong: I had high hopes for this because I love tortang talong. But it was a bit dry, and the kesong puti was so sparse that you don't taste it. - Piaya ice cream sandwich: they had run out of ube and quezo ice cream so I had no choice but to go with vanilla. The caramel drizzle was delicious and almost chewy! But the piaya layers became a bit difficult to eat after being pressed up against the ice cream. I'd like to go back and try the quezo version of this. I think the flavor combination would be more unique. - Crispy Buko Pie: You can really taste the Pandian in this, and you get a generous amount of buko. This should be consumed immediately as well! Bottom line: I would love to keep coming back to this restaurant! The food was delicious and I was impressed by how they made Filipino food "pretty" and not just "brown!"

The betrayal. My own stomach deserved better. Solid late-night spot.

Alfresco dining is super chill, but be warned: it starts getting packed around 1-2AM with people who look like they've survived a full pub crawl. What we ordered: * Pork Bagnetsilog - Crispy, well-seasoned, and surprisingly generous. * Talong Chips + Tokwa - My ultimate fave. I kept "trying one more" until suddenly... nothing was left. Zero self-control, and honestly? Worth it. * Chicharon Bulaklak + Tokwa - Dangerously crunchy. Perfect with rice or on its own. * Coffee Nagaraya Sorbetes - Fun idea, but the coffee flavor needs a little more oomph. Still worth a try. * Leche Flan Sorbetes - A sinful dulce de leche situation -- sweet tooth approved. Only downside: Parking took 30 mins to 1 hour. Will we be back? Absolutely. Probably sooner than parking trauma can heal. Another late night go-to unlocked.

When I was still living in Kapitolyo, it wasn't an unusual thing for me to buy two barbeques, then walk around the neighborhood while chomping on to them. I didn't care. Three Sisters used to be located close to the intersection, in a structure that has seen better days. However, they have since moved to a new joint that is brighter, airy, and snazzier. SO much better.

But, I can not recommend a place who treats their guests in such a way. There are many other great Filipino restaurants with much friendlier staff, such as Manam.

After wandering around for half an hour, we ended up in front of the restaurant. What intrigued us about the place was how empty it was, though it was already past five PM and there was major traffic of people in the mall. The site I supposed reminded us that it was dinner time already, so we mulled over whether to give the place a try. My sis quickly decided against it because she assumed an empty restaurant must mean bad food. However, I was craving for real Filipino food at that moment (and I was paying), so we ended up inside the restaurant after quickly glancing at the menu. The place was so empty that even the host was out of sight. After a minute or so, the host appeared and we were seated promptly needless to say. We even had a pick of any table! We ended up ordering the bagnet that came with the sour broth on the side, beef adobo, laing, and garlic fried rice with dilis. And as it turned out, we really enjoyed the food! My sister and my mom raved about the bagnet. I liked everything. In conclusion, the place was a hit. Before our staycation ends this Saturday, I would like to back and try out the other dishes.
