Sababi Restaurant — Restaurant in Malay

This low key restaurant is the best if you are looking for fresh, like real fresh seafood. Unlike other restaurants who seem to offer almost all types of cuisine and focuses on the interior rather than the freshness of their food.

First, I like the Tanigue Kinilaw (Spanish Mackerel Ceviche), this dish might be the easiest to effed up due to freshness of the fish and lack of ginger and so on. But they did a really good job on the kinilaw (Ceviche)

Second, Shrimp Sinigang (Tamarind Based Soup) this has to be the most generous portion of shrimp compared to it’s competitors in the surroundings. I like how you can taste the freshness of the meat like how the meat can slides off its shell.

Third, that Pinakbet (squash and other vegetable sauteed in “bagoong sa alamang”or fermented tiny shrimps)

Their Ala Cart is good for 2-3 person. And it is a hearty meal.

We left with happy tummy and happy mood. Price wise...

Definitely value-for-money dining experience here at Sababi, Boracay. My cousins arrived early so food was almost ready to be served when I arrived. It was a seafood feast with crabs, shrimps, squid, garoupa, and clams. Yum!

Seafood tastes fresh and pairs nicely with the warm rice. Each dish has its own distinct taste, all delicious. We even ordered extra rice. 😅

The restaurant is also air-conditioned so it was really a comfortable dining experience. Really a must-visit resto when you're in Boracay. This is my 2nd time to eat here btw. The first one was last...

We went here inspired by the good reviews, but we're quite shocked to be presented for a ca price of 3500php for a smaller squid, 6 (litteraly!) shrims and some 8 clams... We sat down but given we were the only one in the place and the whole experience felt unproportioned compared to the price asked, we asked them fast to disregard our order, which they kindly accepted. Personally, I would have appreciated more having a set pricing/kg of specific fish than just being told a random number and hassling to bring that number to a concrete value - not...
