The Red Crab

It was my friends and I's first time to eat in The Red Crab last week. The tuna belly and Asian Pork Seafood Paella were undeniably superb. However, the rest were meh (esp. the crab and Baby Squid Sisig which did not live up with my expectations). Also, since it's our first time to go there, we only based our familiarity of the menu from what's specifically written in the menu posted here in website.Much to our surprise, the minimum order for tuna belly was 300g whilst for the crab was 850g - which weren't even specified in the menu. What was only written in the menu was Php 175/100g for tuna belly and Php 256/100g for the crab. We only intended to order 200g for tuna belly and 500g because we had tons of foods to order - pardon us for our lack of awareness. As I mentioned, it's our first time to go there. Well, in the end, we just went for 300g of tuna belly and 850g of crab in hopes they will be worth their price. Good thing the tuna belly was soooo good but as for the crab, it was unfortunately nothing splendid for its price. Oh, I will not forget how disappointing the halo-halo was which only had nothing but endless kaong (which badly overpowered everything), little scoops of Ube ice cream and milk (no special stuff like langka, pinipig or beans that a typical fancy halo-halo does have).Lastly, the staff there were not attentive. It was so difficult to approach them when we needed something. It took time for them to respond to our needs considering they were just watching the guys who were cleaning the ventilation thing (dunno what's it called) on the ceiling that looked very dusty and there were few people on that day.P.S. They only accept Mastercard and Visa cards, so to those who plan to pay using EPS cards (hello BPI red cardholders!), better bring some cash with you!

I was craving for Karekare, i never expected such dish to be available here in a Crab Restau! Ordered pork and seafood paella, and of course Kare Kare; dishes here were not only good for two..2-4 persons at least. So tasty, and really satisfied.. well recommended for persons who really want a good tummy food.
