I was able to visit this restaurant last December 2013 and had blogged it as well. But for today my sister and I successfully lured our parents to dine here as well to celebrate my mom's birthday.

For our visit today I appreciate the attentiveness of all their staff. They are very friendly and pleasant. Special mention to sir Angel, who was our server for the day.

FOODIES:

I ordered for U.S.Roast Beef while my sister ordered for Fish and Chips. My mom, on the other hand, ordered for Salisbury steak while my dad ordered for US Skirt Steak with fries.

Bottomless Blue Lemonade (Php 80)

U.S. Roast Beef (Php 385) Juicy slices of roast beef with gravy served with mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes AND rice

Their U.S. Roast Beef was well done. Easy to eat and very tummy filling. It was also worth the price. You can never go wrong with this order.

Fish and Chips (Php 295) Breaded fish fillet served with french fries and tartar sauce

For my sister's order. It was also very delicious. Although, she had to order additional rice for it but not so carbo lover the dish was also good without a rice. I also love how they do their tartar sauce. Such a delish! (:

I failed to have a taste my parents' order but they look very delicious too. They also look satisfied after eating anyway. 

Salisbury Steak Quarter pound (Php 260) Grilled sirloin patties served with gravy, mashed potatoes and rice

U.S. Skirt Steak (Php 395) tender, tasty beef hot off the grill. Served with buttered vegetables, gravy and choice of mashed potatoes, fries or rice

After eating we even ordered some desserts for take out. You must not leave this place without trying their white toblerone walnut torte. My favorite dessert. (: Below are also some photos of our desserts. All are superb! (but of course I am quite bias and favor white toblerone walnut torte above all others)

White Toblerone Walnut Torte (Php 120)

Just like before, this is a must visit place!!! Here's a copy of their menu as well as their branch list.

So what is a boodle?

Choose Philippines and Yahoo Answers define it as a gathering where food (usually composed of pansít, or steamed rice and sardines) was served on old newspapers or banana leaves spread over a table and eaten with bare hands. It is a military style of eating that symbolizes fraternity and equality among members by sharing the same food without regard to rank. 

OUR EXPERIENCE:

Well, it's the time of the month when we, as a family, go out complete (yup, with our 2 dogs because they are part of our family too) and for a change, today we decided to try Blackbeard's Seafood Island's boodle for lunch.

Kumain ka na ba ng boodle? (Did you ate boodle already?)

This was the line that welcomed us as we walked thru the area of Seafood Island in Camp John Hay and to answer that question I, together with my family, haven't tried it yet.

OVERVIEW:

Seafood Island in a sister company of the Red Crab which offers mostly seafood but with some pork products too. It is famous for its boodle fight type of food.

Seafood island is located at Ayala Technohub that is near Camp John Hay's gate 1. It's store is in front of Yellow Cab Pizza Co. and Starbucks Coffee and beside Army Navy Burger and Burrito.

SERVICE:

The staff greeted us happily at the front door as we browsed thru their menu. I actually commend the waiters of this restaurant because they immediately respond to their customers requests. They also wear cute uniforms- floral polo and shorts, which I think is appropriate for their seaside/beach themed restaurant.

FOODIE:

We ordered for Dagupan's Pride Boodle Feast and iced tea pitcher.

The boodle feast was ok. I like how they cooked for the pork bbq, white shrimp, tahong and liempo but for me the bangus and bagoong rice lacks flavor.

My parents also complained that the ulam is too limited for the amount of rice which made us to order for additional bangus sisig (Sorry, I failed to took a photo of this). I like thier version of bangus sisig - very delectable.

Overall, I enjoyed dining here for this is the only known restaurant where you can use your bare hands to eat which is also very traditional for Filipinos.For me, I had fun eating more thru pagkakamay than thru using spoons and fork. It reminds me of provincial type of eating while in the city. What makes it even more enjoyable is that almost all customers eating on the other tables are doing the same making you feel more at home. (REMINDER: Wash your hands thorougly before eating when you intend to use your bare hands.)

For foodies who want to try eating here. The next pictures show their menu and the last one list their branches location.

So, kumain ka na ba ng boodle? Tara na!Kain na sa Seafood Island!
