Kamayan at Palaisdaan Resto Resort — Restaurant in Bay

FOOD: The quality of their food is great. I particularly loved the Laing. Really creamy and delicious. The pancit habhab is ok. Calamares is also ok, although it said it's for sharing but I could easily eat it by myself. 😉 Garlic rice is perfect and could be shared by 3 guys. Brewed coffee is so-so.

ATMOSPHERE: Excellent location and certified IG-worthy. They have many open spaces with plenty of greens and flowers, giving you that much-desired background for photos. From the parking lot, to their open gardens, you will never run out of places to take photos. The pond outside is picture perfect for those romantic couple photos. The dining area itself is located (literally) on the pond with lots of fishes!

SERVICE: From the guard outside to their wait staff, everyone is all smiles and ready to serve.

PARKING: Plenty of spaces to park but with the volume of patrons going in here, it tends to fill up pretty quick.

COMFORT ROOM: This is the only thing I wished they would improve. The men's CR is not up to the standard of the restaurant. With a place so nice and clean, you'd expect their comfort rooms would also like that. But no, if you're going to pee, there are no privacy dividers and no water to flush. And if you're planning to poop, then good luck.

OVERALL: All in all, this place is definitely worth the trip to get good food and outstanding ambiance and location. Just don't expect too much when you need to go use their comfort rooms. The palce is being renovated when we had lunch there and I hope the CRs are included in the...

Food was overpriced as compensation for the good ambience. Like for instance, their chocolate mochi was almost P200 for 6 pieces, more expensive than pure chocolates.

Some food's taste and quality were below average. Their kulawo's eggplant was hard / barely cooked and difficult to chew on, to think that it was almost P300 per small plate.

Sinigang na salmon was bad, the broth was super sour and the fish was not even tender. And their sisig... being a kapampangan, I have high standards for sisig. This one tasted like they just put together the overcooked pork crumb leftovers and seasoning. Sisig was supposed to highlight the meat itself and intensify it with onion and salt. I just tasted burnt meat and onions. 😭

The only dishes that I liked were their grilled BBQ (my kids loved it) and tilapia in coconut milk (forgot the name of the dish).

I thought that this was a good restaurant and has lot of potential though. The service was excellent and staff was attentive. I understand the price they put on their food, however, I hope that they improve the quality. You just don't cook a dish only because you think you know how and because you think it was easy to do. And as a resto owner, you just don't hire a cook for the same reason. If no choice, okay, just at least, taste it before...
