GenSan: Birthday Dinner at Grab a Crab!


Grab a Crab & Coffee Club 101 @ SM General Santos City

They say that Grab a Crab is one of the very few fine dining restaurants in GenSan City. The effort was there… from the service to the food presentation. Sige na. I guess they can’t afford to have a true-blue fine dining restaurant here… the overhead would be just too big. 

Our dinner was passable. Like what I said, the effort was there. The Beef Tenderloin was served on a sizzling plate and tasted catsup-y. The Crispy Shrimp (very cheap!) was sweet and spicy while the Garlic Fried Chicken was a bit dry (though I liked the very light taste of burnt garlic). Like what I've mentioned before, I’m partial to fried chicken with thin breading. The breading protects the meat from getting too dry (eating dry white meat is like eating cotton balls).
   
After the restaurant staff gave me their upbeat rendition of the birthday song (thank you!), we transferred to the connecting coffee shop, the Coffee Club 101 (same owners). Coffee was good, freshly-brewed. 

That was our first day at GenSan (not much activity, no?). Second and third days were spent in South Cotabato... And I must say that South Cotabato was the highlight of our one-week vacation

Crispy Shrimps P240
Beef Tenderloin P220
Garlic Fried Chicken (half) P150  
Crabmeat Fried Rice (for four pax) P130
Mango Shake P60

GenSan: Fish Port, Tuna Paksiw, Balbacua, Fried Chicken!

Fish Port & SM Mall @ General Santos City

October 21, 2012. My 45th birthday. 

It’s not the first time I spent my birthday outside Manila (the first time was in Bacolod a few years back). I guess, when you get older you kinda get bored with the usual stuff. When my good friend broached the idea of visiting GenSan five months ago, I immediately asked him to book a flight on my birthday. He did. It was a long wait but worth it. It was one-helluva-vacation

Anyway, we landed in GenSan very early Sunday morning. We were picked up and brought to the “The General Santos Fish Port Complex” (GSFPC) guest house in  Barangay Tambler where we stayed for three days. We didn’t lose time in exploring the place (it covers 11 hectares). We went to the complex’ food court which caters mostly to the “tuna workers” and settled for “Fel & Jay and Atel Eateries” primarily because they serve Balbacua, a Cebuano specialty popular in the southern part of the country (it was my first time to eat this Balbacua, a soupy dish with green leafy veggies). Of course, I had to order for Fried Chicken which came chopped with a small bowl of banana catsup. Yum. I also ordered for a serving of Tortang Talong and Meatballs which, I think, was undercooked.   

It was a P300-taxi-ride from the Fish Port to the new SM Mall (it opened last August) where we had our lunch of Tuna Paksiw at Chona's and a slice of what we think was their version of Sans Rival with condensed milk. Not bad.  

And so... it was the start of a week of eating, eating and still more eating
