Actually, restaurants for our Puerto Princesa trip were already scheduled weeks before the travel. And for our second night, we tried the most suggested place to dine, the Badjao Seafront Restaurant.
The place is located in Barangay Sikat found along Abueg Road. Kuya Arthur gave us his calling card so every time we want to r around the city, we will just drop him a message. We hired him just to drop us in Badjao but said that he’ll just wait for us until we leave. We paid him 200 pesos for that.
It’s about 7 pm when we got there. It’s getting dark and the sun was almost set. From the entrance, you need to pass on a wooden walkway passing through some mangrove trees. Friends said that the restaurant is a floating resto. But when I tried to investigate, the place has supports on the corners. Sorry guys!
From the dining area, we were lucky to witness a beautiful sunset and landscape. So upon getting a table, we eagerly asked for the menu and choose something to order. We ordered a seafood platter having a crab dish (I forgot the name), a sizzling squid, grilled fish, ensaladang talong (eggplant salad), garlic rice, fruits and their soup of the day which was “molo”.
We also tried their cocktails courtesy of Ate Mei; Pink Margarita, Seafront Beauty and Badjao Sunset which set us a bit dizzy going back to the town proper.
For me, the food was not that remarkable compared to Kinabuchs Grill and Bar maybe I expected more from them based on what I’ve heard from friends.
An instrumental song is accompanied by a keyboard was playing in the background while we eat. We believed that it was recorded but we’re surprise to found out that it was live!
