Specifically popular to seafood lovers, you have to buy your ingredients in the nearby market and have the restaurants cook them for you. haha, I think you found yourself in what we popularly call “dampa”.

Not many people appreciate it. By the way, the "restaurant" you went to is called a Dampa. It's usually a strip of restaurants near a wet market. You have to buy the ingredients yourself and then take it to one of the restaurants to have it cooked in any way you like. Then, you just pay for the cooking fee since you bought the ingredients yourself. Glad you enjoy our cuisine. Not many people appreciate it.

I think it started somewhere in the provinces, where people can literally buy fish, shrimp, shellfish, etc. as soon as fishermen get them from the sea. When friends visit my dad's hometown, that's how we usually feed them. Cheers! Wonderful piece. :)

Basically, any dish that tastes great with rice will be embraced by us. and a heads up on a misspelled word: it's afritada, not apretada. :) I’m a Filipino, and oh god now I want adobo.

But how cool to see the actual ingredients the chef is cooking with...I think it would make me feel better about actually eating it. This is awesome, what a weird concept.
