There were also center stage performance, magic show, acrobatic show and dance numbers so you won’t get bored easily on the side, waiting for your food.

Their menu is more Filipino but they have other cuisines as well. Waiting time for the food is most likely more than an hour so you’ll have plenty of time to take photos for your Instagram and Facebook posts. You may also ask for fresh seafood as it’s an “isdaan” turned into a restaurant. A very nice concept!
