The Pinoy Byahero

Yesterday, for our last night in Palawan we went to Balinsasayaw for dinner. We were supposed to eat at a restaurant near Baker's Hill but it was closed. The Setup of Balinsasayaw is one of a kind. The first time i saw something like it. The tables are located in elevated platforms with railings.  We ordered the following: Grilled Tuna with Rice (89), Chicken Inasal (79), Sinuglaw (195), Garlic Shrimp (195) and Buko Shake (69). Drinks were served first followed by all the food dishes. The Grilled Tuna didnt taste fresh. It was a bit dry. So different from the taste & freshness of the Grilled Tuna which was served at Kalui. The Chicken Inasal meanwhile was very good. I liked it better than Haim Chicken Inato. The Garlic shrimp was not fresh also. But the sauce was good.  The Sinuglaw was the standout among our orders. It was very good. Very tasty and the fish was fresh. It was nonetheless a filling dinner despite The Tuna and...

Dinner yesterday was at Kalui. Our reservation was for 6:15pm. We were there exactly 6:15pm and we were seated promptly. There were not much diners compared to the last time we were there (January 2014) probably due to the Low Season. Scanned the Menu and ordered the Set of the Day which is good for 2 persons. (P435) kilawin (P195) and Shakes (Calamansi Mint & Mango Papaya). The first to arrive was a Complimentary Appetizer of Lato. I never got to like Lato and probably never will. Soup was also served free. It was a refreshing soup which had strong ginger flavors. Next our Drinks were served. The Calamansi Mint was good but could not taste the Mint. There was probably some subtle hints of mint that i did not take note off! The Mango Papaya did not have any traces of papaya flavor but both shskes were good. Next the Kilawin was served. It was good. The vinegar used was more powerful than the one at Haim ...

Yesterday we went to Haim Chicken Inato for lunch. We got a tricycle from Lotus Garden to take us there. It was actually walkable but we just got a tricycle anyway. When we were there we seated ourselves. In Haim Chicken Inato there are different kubos to choose from with each kubo displaying different art or pictures. After a few minutes there was no Menu coming. So we called the attention of one of the waiters. They did see us arrive but no one gave us a menu. After studying the menu we ordered the Chicken Inato platter for P90, it is a platter which consists of a wing or leg plus rice and atchara. I also ordered their Kilawin plus Buko Shakes. The Kilawin was first served then followed by the Inato. The Kilawin was good. The fish used was fresh. Its level of spiciness was just right. The Chicken Inato meanwhile was just okay. I still prefer Jo's Chicken Inato. The Buko Shake was delicious. It was thirst quenching and perfect for a H...

The Badjao Seafood Restaurant has the distinction of being the only restaurant that Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom visited when he visited Palawan several Years ago and they proudly advertise it too as the picture of the prince at Badjao is what will greet you when you enter the restaurant. Built on a mangrove. You will cross a wooden bridge to get to Badjao Seafront Restaurant. You will be greeted by an elegant dining area, accented with hanging native lights, wooden tables and chairs. At night you will have a better experience as they also have a piano player. The ambience here is first rate. We ordered the following: Clam Soup - overflowing with clams. Good with just the right hint of garlic and onion taste. They definitely used first rate clams for this soup as the taste was undeniably very clean. Grilled Tanigue - first rate. Fish was super fresh. Very delicious. Butter Garlic Shrimp - Did not pass my standard for Butter Garlic Shrimp. Though the s...
