Bedecked in native furnishings and adorned by a few caged pythons and other species that are strategically situated, this place, at first glance, is true to its theme. Although a few dishes are foreign to most palates, the pricey menu is dominated by typical native and non-exotic dishes. What’s the point? After navigating through the menu, we ordered snake and frog dishes, but they didn’t have those in stock, which completely defeats their vision. Again, what’s the point? So we ended up ordering crocodile meat in gata, tanigue ceviche, lechon kawali, steamed veges and ho to tay soup, but we were disappointed when our orders came in. The portions were small and full of extenders! Tanigue, for example, was full of red onions and only a few pieces of fish. It was like ordering Onions with Tanigue! The crocodile dish was acceptable taste-wise, but there were only 5-6 small sized pieces of meat! The rest was hot pepper and some kind of vegetable. The soup was very salty and dominated by the taste and smell of fish sauce. We asked them to replace it, which they did. Lechon kawali was dry and the steamed veges were not properly done. The only good thing about this experience was their service. Bottomline, like most people, we do not mind paying the listed price, but everything must be commensurate. Now, if you want to see exotic animals, go to the zoo. If you want to taste them, cook them yourselves. This place is basically a TOURIST TRAP. As we say in New York City, fuggetaboutit!

I'll try to know where's the factory once I'm there again for a vacation. I've never tasted a bayawak. Let's see if I'll be adventurous to try that next time. Samantha has grown bigger more than what I've expected. I'm glad you liked the landscape, too. Thanks for dropping by to my blog. The bags are very pretty indeed but pricey.

I like the meat but not the liver, it taste nasty. I didn't gave up, I tried the meat & it taste good. The ambiance is superb. You wouldn't think it's only a restaurant. It seems to me that I've been to a tourist spot too. Samantha is scary. I don't think I have the guts to play with her even though they say she's friendly. Their bag made of coconut amazes me especially the price (haha). Try this place, it may amaze you too. Just been there last week & we tried the Bayawak.
