Great ingredients make great food : Dumaguete's "Lab-as" Restaurant

"Lab-as" is a Visayan term for fresh, used in terms of fish and other seafood, so it comes as no surprise that the menu here is mostly seafood.

Lab-as is located at one of the most popular location in Dumaguete; The Rizal Boulevard. With its wooden interior,  live music played by a pianist and delicious food, you're surely in for a treat!

Dumaguete Express

 Kinilaw

 Grilled Squid

Pinakbet

I really love their Pinakbet and Dumaguete Express. Dumaguete Express consists of fresh seafood (lapu-lapu, mussels, shrimps and squid) cooked in a spicy coconut sauce. It was the hands-down favorite that night. I'm not really a fan of Kinilaw so it would be unfair if i have to judge it based on its taste, However, its presentation was the bomb!

Lab-as Shanghai Rice

Sizzling Tuna Belly

What I love the most about Lab-as is their special Shanghai Rice. I must say, "KANIN PA LANG ULAM NA".

Lab-as Restaurant really showed us what Filipino Hospitality is. Once you've entered the place, you'll feel welcomed and it's like ordering food inside your own home. The Food does not disappoint but you really have to be patient as the food takes a while to be served. 

Overall rating would be A+. Good Food, Excellent Service, Live music. What else can i ask for?
