Today is like a post celebration of my birthday with my family. We decided to have it on lunch time because my boyfriend and I have work scheduled at 4pm and we're going to spend it with my tita Beng, cousin Goy with his girlfriend Rio, my sister and her three kids. Because it's 2pm and all of us haven't eaten our lunch yet I was not able take pictures of the facade of Shylin Restaurant.
This is the picture of the Original Dampa Market in Paranaque near the Airport
This is my sister and her son picking yummy female crabs those crabs have orange eggs while the male crabs have the greening browning thing in their shells. We love the female crabs.
Approximately these are what we bought and spent in the Market
1. 1 Kilo of female crabs medium sized Php320
2. 1 Kilo Liempo Php90
3. 1 Kilo Squid Php120
4. 1 Kilo Maya-maya head Php250
5. 1 Kilo oysters Php100
6. 1 Kilo snails Php100
7. 1/4 Kilo sea weeds Php60
Total: Php1,140
Not bad for a 6 1/4 kilo of food to eat though we realized that we over shopped for food but so what it's my birthday!!!! Wuhooo!!
The first photo of the waiting for our food moment around 2:45pm without our first meal of the day
Second waiting for our food moment with me and my boyfriend...
After a few moments our food finally arrived:
These are some of the food we ate that I was able to take picture of:

"Maya-maya Sinigang sa Miso" The main reason why I craved and firmly decide to eat in Dampa I love the freshness of the fish, the sourness of the soup and texture and the veggies that came with it.
Cooking charge: Php140 for 1 Kilo and Php80 for 1/2 Kilo

"Crab in Garlic and Butter" This is the first time that I was able to eat crab in garlic and butter obviously it's far different from the steamed crab that I am used to eating. This dish is very yummy there is sweetness that improved the whole experience of the crab, there's the strong garlic and butter combination smell that would make you eat it even if you're full.
Cooking charge: Php160 for 1 Kilo and Php90 for 1/2 Kilo

"Squid Calamares" It's not very tasty and a little similar to the ones you can find in the streets. But the texture is better and you can taste how clean the oil used to cook this.
Cooking charge: Php160 for 1 Kilo and Php90 for 1/2 Kilo
 |
| 1/4 seaweeds |
|
"The Seaweed Salad" As always the taste is very fresh and beach like really nice when eaten alone or with other food.
Charge: Php90

"Snails with Coconut Milk" My boyfriend and I enjoyed eating this dish because of the taste of the sea and the creamy texture of the sauce from the coconut milk.
Cooking charge: Php160 1 Kilo Php90 1/2 Kilo
We also had
"Oysters baked with cheese, garlic and butter" and the taste is so good! I forgot to take pictures of it. It was all gone before I remembered.. It was that! YUMMY!
Cooking charge: Php160 1 Kilo Php90 1/2 Kilo
"Inihaw na Liempo" It was perfectly grilled and marinated without ketchup! That's why it was really great because I don't eat Ketchup
The prices in the market is okay and not very expensive. The drinks in the restaurant are just a little pricey for me so I suggest you bring a big bottle of soda if there's no corkage fee.
But for the overall experience.. It was nice and not as expensive as I was expecting because again we ate 6 1/4 Kilos of food plus rice etc etc. The servers know how to give a good customer service experience they are very kind and accommodating, the place is comfortable because even if the A/C is old it's still well functioning.
It was an affordable, comfortable, fun, and SUPER YUMMY EXPERIENCE!
