Badjao Seafront Restaurant: More Than Just A Restaurant
by cyndymc
Badjao Seafood Restaurant is a must-see place in Puerto Princesa, not only for their foods but for the amazing view of the mangroves and the sunset. You have to make reservations if you want to be assured of a seats in their dining hall. It was our last night in Puerto Princesa, so we made sure to have our dinner there, and have ample time for sunset photo ops, too. Luckily, we got reservations (thanks to the staff of Dangkalan Beach Resort) and although it is quite out of the way, our resort van brought us there.We arrived early for dinner but just in time to wait for the sunset. I was impressed by the native-inspired restaurant on stilts surrounded by mangroves. Our reserved table was away from the sunset view, but the restaurant's wide veranda offered an amazing view of the mangrove area and the sunset. I ordered food immediately and while waiting for the food, we enjoyed taking...

Baker's Kitchen: "Paluto" & Ala Carte
by cyndymc
While in Baker's Hill, I noticed the crowd gathering infront of a building. They were reading the menu and looking at the pictures of foods for "paluto". It was only then that I realized there was a restaurant called Baker's Kitchen. If we only had more time and our own vehicle, we could have perhaps eaten our late lunch there. There were many in their posted menu that made me more hungry. (Look at my photo for their menu and prices.)

Taraw Restaurant: Where Guides Usually Bring Tourists
by cyndymc
Buffet lunch at Taraw Restaurant in Sabang is usually part of the Underground River Package Tour. Since we booked a package tour, we didn't have to pay individually for our lunch. Taraw Restaurant's buffet table is at the middle of the compound surrounded by native-inspired lodging and picnic cottages. It has a beautiful beachfront with white sands. After lunch, tourists can take a dip there without extra charge.Food taste is okay, but not extraordinarily delicious...Service is deplorable... Restrooms are yucky!
no particular favorite
Itoy's Coffee Haus: Craving For Coffee Concoctions & Cakes?
by cyndymc
After our dinner at Badjao Seafront Restaurant, hubby was craving for coffee so we tried Itoy's Coffee Haus which our guide recommended to us when he learned that we were looking for Starbucks. Itoy's Coffee Haus is in the City Proper near the row of restaurants.I noticed that yuppies (young professionals) and friends meet there.
I liked iced cappuccino & blueberry cheesecake

Kinabuchs Grill & Bar: Good Alternative For Local Foods
by cyndymc
We couldn't get reservations at Ka Lui so we tried Kinabuchs Grill & Bar which was recommended by some tourists whom we met during our tours. Our Resort van brought us there, but it would be very easy to find even without shuttle service because it is along the main road. Kinabuchs is a big compound where one can choose to eat al fresco or in one of the dining halls. They have a giant flat screen TV at the open air dining area. There were already many diners when we came, but we were able to get a table near the bar. The waiters were alert and fast, but when droves of diners came later in the evening, it became so hard to call a waiter for additional orders; we even had to wait so long just to take our bill. Kinabuchs seems to be a popular night spot, too, that's why many people came past dinner time. They came for billiards and beer.
Many tourists go to Kinabuchs to try Palawan's much...

Dangkalan Beach Resort Restaurant: Local Foods In A Beach resort
by cyndymc
Aside from the improved service of hotel staff, one of the reasons why hubby and I developed a liking for Dangkalan Beach Resort is its food and amiable restaurant crew. We had free plated breakfast served by Dangkalan Beach Resort's in-house restaurant, a native-inspired cottage-like resto. We also ate some meals there whenever we were too tired to go to the City.The restaurant's location near the beach and swimming pool makes one feel like having a picnic. While waiting for your food, you can stroll in the beach to get a whiff of fresh sea breeze or do some picture taking. If you don't feel like strolling, you can just watch any tv program you fancy. (They have a flat tv at the dining hall.) You can opt to eat inside their dining hall, or eat al fresco.
I liked their native dishes, but my favorite is the "pinaputok na isda". The fish is seasoned with oyster sauce, garnished with...

Hoa Kieu Vietnamese Restaurant: A Gem in an Out of the Way Place
by eversure
There was no AC. The toilet is primitive. The seats were plastic. The utensils were mismatched. But Oh my Goodness! When the food arrived, the place didn't matter. I ordered the chicken hotpot. It was very delicious. The spice mix blended harmoniously without being pretentious. It wasn't over-the top, just right to tickle your palate. Nothing fancy. Even bordering on subtlety. The rice noodles were home made and fresh. The broth was flavorful and the beef was tender. The Ramen was also very flavorful. The kind where you drink it to the last drop and lick the bottom of the bowl.The downside is that this restaurant is 2 hours north of Puerto Princesa. You will be able to drop by this town if you take a road trip to El Nido since this town is a required stop.
All the soup dishes!
Kinabuch: Drive In Restaurant
by eversure
This restaurant opens at 5pm up. More a bar than restaurant. It has a very big projector screen which was showing the World Cup when we were there. Its open air so the mosquitos might be a bother to some. Ok food. Nothing to write home about.
KaLui: Ambiance
by eversure
The ambiance here is really great. Service is good. Toilets are clean. The food is good. Not all in their menu is good though. We went twice. The first night was so-so. The second time we went, we hit the jackpot.Order the Sinigang ni Kaka soup and if you order seafood and they ask how you want it cooked, make it grilled. The gata and sizzler versions are not good and are pretentious. Sisig was not good. They tried to be inventive by putting mayonnaise but it wasn't a good mix. Any foreign cooking style like gambas is not recommended. Go local.
Sinigang ni Kaka, Tubattaha Salad. Grilled squid.
Kinabuchs Grill and Bar: Tara na Kina Buch
by blue_chef
We had our dinner in Kinabuch. We ordered the usual Filipino food like kare-kare, Shrimp Tempura, Sinigang na baboy, and sisig. I suggest you to order a platter of rice instead of one rice per person if you really want to get full. The food is ok and nothing’s special. If you’re lucky the bar sometimes has a live band. After we had dinner, one of the guests in the restaurant is a foreigner who happens to be a friend of the current mayor in Palawan. He is using the electric tricycle that the mayor is promoting around the city. Without a second taught, I really asked the guest if I could ride and take a picture in the vehicle. Surprisingly he offered me to try the vehicle and drive it around. But we had a tiring day so I’m contented taking pictures with the electronic tricycle.
