Ocean Garden is a seafood restaurant located at Lahug,
Cebu City, Philippines. Fresh fish, lobster, crab,
shrimps, prawns, clams, green shell, squid, octopus,
etc. are available. Just pick your choice and inform
them how you want it to be cooked and it will be
served in your table the way you want them to be.
For health-conscious people, they have fresh fruit juice.
Our favorite is the Watermelon---purest, just added
sugar and chilled (is it not?)
Unlike most of the restaurant we dined at, everything
we ordered here were seafoods. Even though I'm a
meat eating person I was so in the mood for seafoods
that I forgot to order any meat.
Sizzling Squid - P 210.00
Our favorite is the chili crab, but unfortunately we
always forget about the camera every time it is served.
Next in line is the tinolang Blue Marlin which is only P50,
good for two! Way, way better than that served in your
favorite carenderia which is P30 per small serving (lolz).
Then, the grilled squid, which when you look at the raw
frozen thing, you'd be skeptical. But man, it's really
good and juicy! We also love the scallops with vegetables.
It's like chopsuey but much tastier. The hot and spicy
prawns is also good, although, perhaps it was just that
day, that we thought it wasn't too HOT and spicy.
I'm not sure whether their are a lot of people who have been to that place cause the location of the
restaurant is a couple of meters from the main
road. It is located in a subdivision behind Fisherman's
Net. Once you arrive on the intersection of JY square
and I think its a Caltex gas station. Go inside the
road Just all you have to do is follow the signs.
Pork Belly - P100.00
Another thing I really like about this place is the
ambiance. It's location is within the city but is far
from the noise and traffic from the city. It has a
large outdoor dining area with a lot of plants
and trees and ample parking space.
Baked Scallops - P80.00
The first dish we ordered was a blue marlin. We were
how we would like them to cook the fish and I told
Yaya that it would be better if we tried a different
style for everything we ordered.
So we decided to have the Blue marlin sizzled
and topped with their gravy sauce. The first thing
you'll notice once your food arrives is the lack
of presentation of their dishes. I think they really
need to improve on the presentation of their
food. Although the flavors of their dishes are
good, the presentation of it enhances your
appetite and will eventually make your mouth water.
Ocean Garden
If ever your in the mood for some seafood but you don't
have enough money to eat at a fancy seafood restaurant,
there is always another option where you could find
good tasting seafood at a very affordable price.
I kinda sound like an advertisement for this
restaurant, but the truth is Yaya and me always
enjoy eating at this place. We always get
surprised with their large servings and
affordable prices.
Slipper Lobster - P256.00
