| - Tinuno offers take-out and kamayan! Most of the people that come here go for the kamayan feast. Def recommend it too, it's a great experience!
Essentially a kamayan feast consists of your entire meal loaded onto banana leaves and everyone just eats off of it! At Tinuno, for only $15 per person, you have delish garlic fried rice in the centre of your table and BBQ'd veggies, meats, and seafood layered on top of the rice.
To start off, they give each person a little bit of julienned mango and carrot, and some orange wedges. Shortly afterwards, your carb and protein feast begins!
The garlic rice is so addicting! It's a little bit sticky so you can ball it up and stuff it in your mouth. The staff are always willing to top off your garlic rice in case you totally demolish all of that goodiness.
The veggies that they had included were eggplant and okra - both if which are really yummy when they're grilled!
The seafood you get are: tilapia, bangus, shrimp, and mussel. The fish (tilapia and bangus) were pretty dry and overcooked. The tilapia was not the greatest... kinda tasted like dirt (pretty typical of tilapia right?!) but then again, I'm not the biggest tilapia fan. The bangus is really good though! According to wiki, bangus is milkfish. It's naturally quite salty, so when eaten with the rice it's really good! Shrimp and mussels were alright.
The meat you get are: pork bellys and a pork skewer. The pork skewer was really good! It's marinated in a sweet sauce which gets caramelized from the grill. Yummmm.
Some of the foods were definitely a little bit too burnt - like the vegetables and the fishes.
For those who don't want to get down and dirty with their bare hands, they have boxes of plastic gloves on the table! Eat with your fingers (after washing them with soap of course!), it's so much easier and fun!
Overall, this was a really great experience and I definitely recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried kamayan before!
