Fastfood alternative in Nasugbu, Batangas - Kainan sa Dalampasigan

06.26.2010 - Nasugbu, Batangas... We went on a trip to Canyon Cove with our usual out of town buddies --- my UP Solair (School of Labor and Industrial Relations) friends... a.k.a. Ninong Butch, Ninang Gerie, her husband Red and Matt. We have been sharing this tradition of going out of town every year and 2010 will be the 4th year of this tradition. We were planned to go to Coron, Palawan but due to our conflicting schedules and restricted budget it never pushed through. It is good that we had time to go to Batangas... just to keep our tradition alive!

On our way to Canyon Cove, we came across the signage of this restaurant -- "Kainan sa Dalampasigan" in English ... Eatery by the Sea... My friend said that he heard good reviews about this place. So off we went to look for it. When we got to the place, it was stunning... very different. I was expecting somewhat like a nipa hut setting by the beach but there is no beach just vines and fountain.

When we got inside it was really really cool... An open restaurant that can accommodate more than a hundred people, high ceiling with rustic fans and lights, lush greens around and a man-made waterfalls to boast. The place is really something different. Something that is not fastfood! Hahahaha...

Really long table with benches... i love love this style of dining.. very homey feel..

cool antique lights and ceiling fan

the long patio of the restaurant

man made waterfalls... love the song of flowing water

Xtian feeling sleepy.. he ate a big breakfast at Mcdonald's before the trip..
not looking forward to the food here i guess.

the lady's washroom... very eerie ... LOL!

plain menu card

reasonably priced food selection

Bilao sa Dalampasigan -- full of fried pork belly, mango & tomato with bagoong,
baked mussels, buttered shrimps

me & ninang gerie... hehehe.. ninang talaga!

the place has been given good reviews on different magazines...
this one is for the architectural whatever... hehehehe

Overall, the place is really something that is worth to visit in the area. A very good alternative to the fastfood joints along the highway. The service is fast and the food is a good value for your money. The only problem that we have is that the mosquitoes that kept on biting us as we enjoy our brunch.
