Sabreen's Seafood Market Restaurant - Ermita Manila, Philippines

Just in the heart of Manila, I have stumbled to this seafood restaurant and had a great dining experience.  I was in Robinson's Ermita and craved for seafood lunch.  I searched the internet for seafood restaurants nearby and Sabreen's Seafood Restaurant popped out with a lot of good reviews so I tried it out.  The restaurant is located at 1190 J. Bocobo St., Ermita, Manila, just walking distance from Robinson's Ermita

The restaurant is actually similar to 'dampa-style', 'paluto' type, only a bit more classy.  You may choose from the different fresh seafood from their mini market and have it weighed and cooked to your desired way.  Cooking charges vary, more ingredients may cost much than normal fried or steamed seafood dish.

I was the first customer in the restaurant so I have the place all to myself.  Unlike other dampa-paluto restaurants which are usually clustered all together and crowded, this restaurant is different.  It has more of a classy feel with the chairs, tables and the restaurant interiors.

Since I was just solo, I ordered only two(2) dishes, a giant 700-gram mud crab to be steamed and 250 grams of squid to be cooked as calamares.

I enjoyed eating the seafood that I ordered two cups of rice with it.  You can really taste the freshness of the seafood just the way I like it.
