🧭 Lakatta Tip

Go around late afternoon so you can enjoy the sea breeze and sunset views before dinner. Start with a plate of grilled Managat or baked scallops, then balance your seafood with a warm bowl of Pancit Molo or sinigang if you’re craving something sour and comforting. If you’re here with family or friends, order a few dishes to share — the portions are generous and perfect for group feasting.
