The Original Matutina's Restaurant — Restaurant in Dagupan

Some of the food that they served us are just fine and others were great as my family enjoyed our lunch but it was the worst customer experience we ever experienced so far. The staff who assisted us was not so nice unlike the way she accommodated the other groups. What's even worst is when my toddler had tantrums and crying, this staff approached us and very upset asking me to go outside of the resto with my toddler and come back when she's done crying as other customers are being destructed.

Sinigang na Malaga - really fresh fish with a texture like Pampano. It was around Php 450 at the time for one whole fish

Inihaw na Bangus - the real deal. The bangus almost tasted like chicken.

Garlic Butter Shrimp - we really liked their timpla

Buko Juice - even the waiters found it difficult to bring the actual buko to our table because of the size. If you want it cold, ask the waiters to place it in a pitcher instead.
