The Flying Pig & BluFish @ Eastwood

A year ago, BluFish and The Flying Pig were like sister restaurants in Eastwood Mall. You can order from two restaurants in one table! Just like Teriyaki Boy-Sizzlin Pepper Steak and  Jack's Loft-Pho Hoa all in Eastwood. Fortunately, we were able to try the tandem restaurants before BluFish was replaced by The Red Crab.

This was what we ordered from The Flying Pig: their bestselling Cuchi Frito. The pig's skin was really crispy and the sauce was delicious, tasted like Mang Tomas. Beside the very unhealthy pig dish is a salad which I think Geraldine loved. For those who can still afford cholesterol in their bodies, try this out. It is a CRAVE HIT.

Because of our love of prawns we ordered this Indian dish, Grilled Prawns Tandoori. BluFish offers great tasting seafood dishes and this did not disappoint. The prawns are full of flavors and even the rice did justice to the whole tandoori experience. CRAVE HIT!

Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience in The Flying Pig and Blufish. We highly recommend that you visit these restaurants. The Flying Pig is in the same location in Eastwood with an edgier interior. I am not sure however if Blufish has other branches and where they are located.

Feel free to comment on your dining experience in these places as well.

The Red Crab: Alimango House @ Venice Piazza, Taguig

For our first visit together in Venice Piazza we went to The Red Crab for dinner. We were thinking if we will choose Old Vine, Amici or this one. Finally we picked the place that would satisfy our cravings for seafood. :)

Once inside I instantly noticed how the place looked like a gallery. There was even a mural full of sea creatures  on the far end wall which bore the lyrics of a famous Filipino children's song about crabs.

Tong, tong, tong, tong, pakitong-kitong, alimango, sa dagat, malaki at masarap, mahirap mahuli sapagkat nangangagat..

We ordered a set meal good for 3-4 persons. It already has rice, crab, squid, chicken, tilapia, okra, talong and itlog na pula. It also comes with a pitcher of iced tea all for Php1,088 pesos only. The major disappointment for us is the absence of prawns in the mix.

So this was our dinner for that day. In the menu it said that it was good for 3-4 pax but I am pretty sure that it is not because we ate everything (we are both girls) except for the chicken. They had thrown a very generous serving of rice which is for sure good for 3-4 people but the seafood was just enough for the two of us. Despite this, we actually find their seafood yummy!!! Everything was grilled to perfection and their rice was also good specially with strips of green mango and onions on the side. This is definitely a HIT!!!

It may look disgusting to you but this is our proof that this set meal is not good for 3-4 people. We almost emptied the bilao if not for the rice, chicken and talong.
