Makan — Restaurant in Cebu

Attention!

We were extremely disappointed and in shocked when we ate today as we ordered Sizzling Squid as well Calamari when we saw that the food was old and reheat.

(Note: Our food were served around 5 minutes after we made the order)

The Sizzling Squid looked really terrible as it seemed like it has been served before but probably the person who ordered it didnt really liled it so they saved it in a hope someone might order the same and to our bad luck we were those people.

And of course the Calamari, you really can see that its been really been reheat as well since the texture of the flour is thick and burnt a sign that it has been fried before.

We don't want to make a scene as my sister was there for the first time with her 1 month old baby. We did asked them if it's fresh, and one lady in the service told us that they placed it in Microwave and the squid was catch before yesterday night. But it's not about that, they should not serve people with the leftover food and reheat it and take chances that people would like it.

I don't know if the owner is aware of it but it is shameful to know whether she knew or not. Please don't do that again! I know many people eat there because it taste good but it should...

We arrived at 8pm and the place was almost empty. We were handed out quickly the menu and we order almost straight away. The beers arrived quite fast but the soup as entry (clearly requested and understood by the waitress) Was the first fail. I got my my food and I was done 10min before my girlfriend got her chicken adobo (which wasnt good aka not original as it was missing a couple of things such as vinegar and ginger). After we were both done the massive soup arrived. No need to say we were quite full already and did not enjoy as we should have had as starter in a rainy day. Also none looked at us the whole time when we tried to order another beer and to finish the disaster we had to pay I think 60 Pesos to sit outside with a table full of our empty plates and emtpy bottles and dirty dogs waiting for us to give them some leftovers. I am not expecting fine dining in this land as it is in some cities just gourist-tailored and it is not Burma or Thailand but a minimum is still expected and if not food coming together at the table at least some Kind of basic service and especially friendly smiling service. Just go cross the road and you get much more...

Leaving two stars, but it might be because we did not eat seafood here. We got fried rice with veggies and veggie curry instead.

Fried rice was meh, not a lot of taste and not a lot of veggies (onion, pea, corn and cabbage). The curry was just terrible. It was salty and tasted as if someone used and abused the yellow curry powder you can find on every store shelf around the world.

The prices are ok, the portions are big. Maybe seefood is better (served after 5pm) - as per...
