    Natalna Grille - Grilled Squid (Pusit)

    After traveling 8,000 miles to serve as Guest of Honor and Speaker at Union Christian College, San…read moreFernando La Union Philippines, we were invited taste the culinary delights of Ilocandia at Natalna Grille and Restaurant. The restaurant is along the main highway and as you enter the building, you are immediately in view of the sea while stepping above the breakwaters ... the floor is made of bamboo with tables and furnitures that are naturally locally sourced, too. Organic and naturalist underrated and breathing the humid yet fresh sea smell is a bonus ambiance that makes you feel like dining in the middle of the sea. Our main course was seafood; grilled milkfish (Bangus), locally caught squid with tomatoes, onions and other aromatics. The fish was excellent which to me defined what I've missed for more than 20 years of studying and working away from home. The squid was oh my, chewy but smelled like fire and aromatics in one, garnished with tomatoes, onions and a stench of a little soy sauce. What's interesting was their Borodebod with mushroom ( we call it dinengdeng, for Ilocanos), a locally sourced assortment of vegetables: squash, okra, patola, mushroom etc... with fish sauce as part of its soup base. If you haven't had such dish, go to Natalna and enjoy such delight, it's not only delicious but wil keep you loving for at least 10-15 years longer. I do prevention programs in Los Angeles and cannot stress this more than anything. The Sisig was equally delicious, it had a crunchy component which is an edge away from others that we've tasted as I landed a few days back and on our way to this province. We had other dishes but perhaps having you drop by this restaurant would be best instead of my long descriptive and equally boring narrative about my return to this part of the world. Don't forget to come to this part of the world with an open mind, an empty stomach and a willingness to appreciate the beauty of other culinary dishes from what you've been used to. Enjoy and let me know if you have any question/s? Dr. Conrad Ulpindo, Los Angeles, California 2025 Trip to the Philippines - U.S. Fulbright Programs

    After reading the reviews before arriving to the Philippines, we made our trek to dine here once we…read morevisited Manaoag. For a first time visit, the dining experience wasn't to our expectations or we came at a bad time. When we arrived, there was no one to seat us in the main dining area, so we just stood there and waited. It was not busy, only one table with a few people was occupied. We saw employees in the back gathered together just talking. They looked at us, but kept talking for awhile until, finally, a guy helped us. He wasn't welcoming or offered any assistance. We had to ask questions. Right away, we got bad vibes here, and said the hype on this place is very misleading. Anyway, we ordered fried crispy bangus, steamed rice, chop suey and buko pandan. The bangus wasn't as crispy and the chop suey had too much cornstarch in it that made the sauce too thick - gross. Only positive is the nice parking attendant who guided us parking the car and holding an umbrella above my head from the heat and extreme sun. This place is a big NO for us. The place wasn't hard to find and the gardens are nice. They had a large snake, I think a boa or python in a cage for those who want to be amused.

    Disappointing Experience - Would Not Recommend…read more This was by far one of the worst dining experiences I've had. The fried rice tasted like leftover food from a previous event--cold, clumpy, and unappetizing. The crispy crab was overly salty, the pinakbet was watery and lacked flavor, and to top it off, the buko juice was warm. Service was equally disappointing; we waited over an hour for our food, and the staff seemed indifferent. Overall, a complete letdown. I won't be coming back.
