I remember the event we had last Saturday, Nate’s graduation from kindergarten.
We had our lunch at Dampa Seaside in Pasay City, a more than an hour trip from our place. We were fifteen in all including Obet’s parents, brothers, sister and in-laws plus the grandkids. Obet and Nissa rented a private room in one of the restaurants complete with videoke. This is the second time that I ate in this place. The idea is you have to buy fresh produce from the nearby wet market and the staff of the restaurant would cook them for you anyway you want. Most of it of course are fresh seafood and meat too. If you love seafood, this is the place for you. Dampa Seaside is perhaps the largest seaside market in Metro Manila. One good thing is, the place is very near hotels and shopping malls.
We brought Oreo along. Nate and the other kids had a grand time playing with him.
“What’s his name?” Hermie asked.
“Oreo”, Josef said.
“Oreo parang yung biscuits na Oreo?” Hermie asked further.
“Yap”, Josef answered.
We all laughed.
Josef and I tried the videoke too while Nate was busy playing with his toys, gifts from his mom and dad and Nissa’s sis-in-law. More Lego toys….haha!
Funny moments, precious hours bonding together. Lovely time with family.
That sounds like a great celebration, Arlene. I like the idea of that style of restaurant to. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Oh yes Pete. You can choose what to eat and choose how it is cooked. You just need to wait while they prepare the food.

What a bounty of fresh fish. I have never heard of a restaurant where you can do that except for a lobster place where you pick the lobster that they then boil.

I know of three branches of Dampa here in the metropolis and we have tried them all. Love the concept of choosing those fresh catch and let them cook to your liking.
