| - I was very surprised by all the high marks this place got. I just recently went here with my hubs and mom. We were very disappointed on what we got. We went here by chance because we needed to eat, I didn't exactly know where Seafood City was, and I didn't want to drive up and down Sahara. Coming from SD and I have many selections of different turo turo (point point) places and never really came upon a place that wasn't good. So I didn't think much of this place on not being good. There were ppl inside eating...
First off, they make you get a tray. The tray I got smelled like it was wiped with a wet dirty towel. It had a disgusting sour smell and I didn't understand why they wanted ppl to eat with it. The guy behind the counter was pretty adamant on us getting a tray. I got the tray, but I didn't want to put my food down on it. SO GROSS!
What I got:
I decided on their beef steak. The guy asked if I wanted sabaw (okay, the sauce) on my rice, heck ya! I just wanted one entree choice with my rice.
Why it wasn't good:
First, the rice. It seemed like old rice they reheated and put too much water on because it got too dried out. My beef steak wasn't good at all. The sauce of the beef steak seemed too oily and it didn't taste fresh. It also tasted like it was cooked a long time ago and just reheated. They just looked like they cut up fresh onion and topped with it to look like it was recently cooked.
What the hubs got:
He got paksiw na lechon and sinigang na HALIBUT. Yea, thats right, they put HALIBUT in with the sinigang. I never had and now I know why. If you're going to make any type of FISH sinigang...fricken make it with BANGUS! I know they had bangus because they had one all fried up in the front.
Why it wasn't good:
My husband is on of those filipinos who love really sour sinigang. When he asked the guy if it was extra sour, the guy had no hesitation to say yes. When hubs went to try it, the sabaw (soup) was barely sour. He also agreed to not eat sinigang with halibut, it just didn't taste right. As for his paksiw, that also tasted like it was cooked a long time ago and just reheated. The sauce of the paksiw was way over powering and didn't taste that good either.
What mom got:
She also got the sinigang and she also got afritada. I didn't taste it because I was already disgusted with my food and my husbands. I doubt that tasted any better.
I don't know if they were lazy to cook stuff for a Saturday evening and again and just reheated old food. I surprised that so many ppl like the food from here. But I will definitely not come here again and will make it a point to find Seafood City, because I heard there are more places to eat around there.
Ppl from Vegas or ppl visiting vegas...don't go here...seriously....your lola/mom/auntie/lolo/dad/uncle or YOUSELF who know who to cook will be disappointed with the food from here. THIS IS NOT HOW FILIPINO FOOD SHOULD TASTE LIKE!
