It all started on Netflix's Asian food documentary. Jotted down on my long juander list to…read moreeat/visit finally I was able to experience the seafood feast here. Situated in Cordova at Barangay Buagsong lies the infamous "bakasihan" who founded by Tatay Entoy. He's the father of "bakasihan eatery ". From Cebu City, we travelled 51mins. via single motorcycle. And I'm telling you, better pat sunscreen coz the heat from the sun is too much. LoL. T'was almost 2pm and the place is still packed with patrons eating in big groups. Crowded yet we still manage to find a table to dine-in. FOOD. "Nilarang na Bakasi" (tiger reef-eel stew) - tasty & a bit of savory side. It is made in a spicy and sour coconut milk-based broth with garlic, red onions, tomatoes, fermented black beans, chilis & sour fruits. T'was indeed a steal when visiting Cordova! Fried Bakasi - crispylicious fried fish which you can easily eat its bone. Taste better when dipped on sauce (combination of soy sauce, vinegar/calamansi & chili). Saang - they steamed it and the saltiness from the ocean make it a great sign that t'was freshly caught. Imbao Soup - one of Cebu's delicacy that's also rampant in Cordova. The soup is so hearty the moment you slurp it. It has its own distinctive sweet taste that even without any seasoning, it's sure taste yummy. Imbao meat is a little bit gooey especially if it's a lil bit large. Lato "sea grapes" - is fresh as well but they really don't clean it thoroughly. Still a must when feasting seafood. Don't forget dipping it on a vinegar. Ginisang Octopus - t'was good! Savory and every bite is delicious. Meat is perfectly cooked and not really gooey. They make it a bit spicy which add kicks to it. Takeout: Ginisang shrimp - t'was perfectly cooked and the saltiness balanced to its sweetness. It also has its nice texture to it. Halang-Halang in the form of seashells meat (don't know what kind of seashell is it) is the perfect "pulutan" for people chillin' with beer. Spicy and undeniably Onolicious! Our juander Cordova seafood feast is both filling and economical. For $17.50 t'was one of the best seafood mukbang I ever tasted. With a panoramic view of the ocean's vastness you'll truly enjoy the oldest and most popular eatery serving bakasi in town. Customer service is superb. They were so helpful and friendly. They put that welcoming smile that even though they were tired they still able to show their welcoming aura. Indeed a must visit eatery when you visit Cebu City. Don't expect a luxury style of service, you can't find it here. Know that this is a homestyle eatery that will bound to feel you at home. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

It's buffet style, with fresh seafood you choose on the spot and they cook to order. From fish to scallops to shrimp to oysters, and different ways to prepare and season, everything tasted delicious. They also have lobster and king crab for an additional price. Drinks are not included but can be added for a small price. The service was also superb with different people checking in on us throughout the meal, asking for additional drinks and warning us when it was last call for the kitchen. For those who are considering going soon, they have a discounted rate until April 26, 2019 for the buffet. If you're in the area or coming to visit, I'd definitely recommend you check it out!

Not only will you have gotten your money's worth on just the food, but you will also have the river cruise experience, live singing, as well as the cultural sharing program to go with it. Not a lot of tourist hotspots in the country offer this kind of all-encompasing experience covering food, music, and culture immersion. The singing and dancing station towards the end of the cruise was very wholesome and is such a joy to watch. It feels like the whole local community is involved and taking part in welcoming guests and tourists visiting the area. There is also a part of the show where any guest can take part in the dancing of the tinikling (folk dance with the use of bamboo sticks). I strongly recommend the Loboc River Cruise. I know that whatever fee that I paid for will go long towards supporting the livelihood of the people and the development of the area.

There were also several Filipino desserts and complimentary juice, while other drinks such as soda could purchased for an additional fee. While I appreciated the variety of food, I found the flavors to be fairly mild. More than the food, it was the atmosphere and experience that made this cruise memorable. I really enjoyed the scenic river ride and seeing all the lush greenery and tropical vegetation. I also liked the live entertainment. The local music and traditional dance performances were impressive and fun to watch. Some of us tourists even joined in the fun Filipino Tinikling dance. Overall, the Loboc Riverwatch Floating Restaurant was definitely an hour well spent.

Though I am not a local, I've literally been coming here for 20+ years when I'm home in Dumaguete. This place I also associate with home because my grandma's house was literally two doors down and we would come here to eat. This place will always share a special piece of my heart as my dad would frequent this place and eat here everyday when he was staying next door. For years my dad would bring his guests here and they would not disappoint. If you want good food, and even better company - rest assured you'll find it here. Shout to the staff and management who cared for my dad, Dodong Manny Garcia, as their own and fed him well. The Garcia family loves this place! Ambiance: you can bring a date, your family, or party with your friends on their live music nights. This place is poppin' and clean. I feel safe here - their bathrooms are clean and their service is excellent. the beautiful thing about this place is that it can even host big parties. We've even had tables of 16+ people accommodations for us. Seating: You have plenty of choices. Downstairs by the stage. Upstairs with a great view of the beach.Bar seating. And even indoor seating in Lab-as. Take your pick! Food: Tapsilog always a fave. They have extremely fresh fish and sell it by the pound. It is soooo tasty I cannot. I love their LapuLapu and an all-around fave is the Bangus lumpia. Fresh mango shakes and calamansi are a must. Alcohol: Take your pick. They have top shelf and local beer. They make extravagant drinks with flames and everything! Drinks here are IG worthy alongside the food. You will go home well fed and nourished. Parking: Be smart about it - there's a lot in the front that people are willing to help park (you're expected to tip) and even better it's not so clustered like it is in South point... this place literally giives you everything you need! Do yourself a favor and stay awhile...enjoy this place and Hayahay through the night because you will be more than impressed by this place. It is a must go to in Dumaguete!
