Port Seafood Restaurant - by Rhee Gonzaga
Think the Love Boat, Filipino Style. Toe-tapping tacky 1960’s Americano music, staff adorned in sailor outfits in white and blue. The feel is upbeat, gay and bustling. A buffet style is on board and it’s time to get stuck in.
For only p200 ($5AUD), you can stuff yourself silly with a bountiful selection of over 40 dishes including shell soup; for the appetizers -baked oyster, baked tahong with butter,crispy kangkong, dilis with teriyaki sauce, crispy chicken skin, drunken shrimp, crablets, sweet potato fries, vegetable tempura; for the tasty salads – puso ng saging, nangka salad, pipino salad, ensaladang talong, atchara papaya, green mango, guso-seaweed, lukot-seaweed, potato salad; the main course – pork menudo, chicken pandan, sweet and sour meatballs, chorizo, sotanghon guisado/bam-i, pinakbet, adobong kangkong, sizzling bangus, lumpia shanghai, adobong pusit, sweet corn, pasta, sizzling squid, plain rice, garlic rice with butter; for desserts – buko pandan, puto cutchinta, pitche-pitche, palitaw, biko, and my ultimate favourite – ‘all you can eat’ ice cream flowing, all too effortlessly, from a dispenser.
Life is good. Cocktail anyone?!
