Aling Tonya's Seafood Palutuan In Seaside Macapagal







I'm craving for seafood... I want those heart-stopping crab meat, shrimps, and some mussels!  Well, since we're in the macapagal area, we decided to go to Seaside.  Here you buy fresh seafood from the market, and have them immediately cooked to the nearby restaurants that accepts "paluto".  It's a "dampa" style dinning experience.
There are a lot of "paluto" restaurants to choose from here in Seaside Macapagal. But since we've been here several times, we decided to go Aling Tonya's Seafood Palutuan.  It's one of the famous establishments here and is known for their delicious cooking.  They have their own market with a wide variety of seafood. There are stalls where in you can buy live saefood from the aquarium.




In the market we decided to buy crabs, a mix of "babae and bakla".  The "babae" is full of "aligue", while the "bakla" is more of the white meat.  We also bought "suahe"  shrimps and scallops to satisfy our cravings.  After buying, it was weighed per kilo for the cooking charge.  We chose crabs with oyster sauce, buttered shrimps, and baked scallops for our "paluto".





All the food tastes great!  Definitely something to go back to.  Although seaside here in macapagal is quite pricey compared to other "dampa", restaurants.  Eating for two(2), this experience cost Php1,300 for the seafood, Php600 for the cooking charge, and Php200 for the rice and drinks.



My Rating:
Food/Taste:  9/10 (flavorful and tasty)
Ambiance:  7/10 (just your usual diner)
Cleanliness:  7/10 (area clean although a few bugs entered coming from market outside)
Service: 8/10 (around 15-20mins waiting time for your paluto - just normal)
Establishment: 9/10 ( along hi-way, easy to go to, and with adequate parking area)
Price:  7/10 (quite pricey compared to other dampa style restos)
Overall:  7.8 (good tasting food, but quite pricey compared to other similar restos)
