The place is very aesthetic and instagram worthy, you’ll see wood wherever you look. Footwear is not allowed inside and the wooden floor makes me feel at home. You can roam around and take pictures and they even have a souvenir shop inside. The restrooms are one of a kind. The food is served quickly and the selections are good. I’m glad that all of our orders are delicious. We ordered Crocodile Sisig, Laing Wrapped, and my favorite Blue Marlin Sinigang. I’ve eaten crocodile in Cambodia and you can really tell it’s different but this Crocodile Sisig is just normal. I can’t distinguish the difference between the normal pig, chicken, beef meat and the crocodile meat because it’s almost like a ground meat and nothing special, but it’s good. Laing wrapped is not your traditional laing, it’s worth a try. And the Blue Marlin Sinigang is one of the best sinigang I’ve ever tasted. Very clean and looks healthy and fresh. I highly recommend it. They only accept guests until 9:30 so plan ahead. I’ll definitely comeback to this restaurant when I visit Palawan again. Majority credit cards are accepted here. #jezzdoit Delicious food I had the crocodile sisig and the lemongrass calamari cooked to perfection very very tasty. They were a little crazy busy so the service was slow, but besides that everything was delicious. I like the ambiance it feels like you travel back from the past and the server and other staff fits the theme. The food is pinoy menus and super delicious. One of the best in Puerto Princesa.

Very nice restaurant. The staff very helpful and once you have a table the service is fast. And the food and drink we ordered was so yummy. The baby back ribs was my favourite meal😍

Food is really good but I feel the menu is underwhelming. The place feels home, you take of your shoes to enter and leave in front or in the cabinet.
