Coming from our Holy Week getaway at Munting Buhangin Beach Camp, our natural instincts as travelers led us to grab our mobile phones and search for the best restaurant around the Nasugbu area. A quick google search made us discover Kainan sa Dalampasigan, a ten-minute drive from Munting Buhangin Beach Camp.
Ratings:
Food: 4/5, plenty of serving, very delicious - almost perfect
Price: 4/5, affordable, you can have a feast here for just over 1,000 Php.
Service: 5/5, quick service considering we went here on a Holiday and it was kinda crowded,
Place: 5/5, excellent ambiance. It's not beachfront, though as the name says, but more like a Kainan sa Hardin (Restaurant By The Garden).
They have a very appetizing group meal called Bilao sa Dalampasigan which consists of baked tahong (mussels), inihaw na baboy (grilled pork belly), garlic fried shrimps, and daing na bangus (dried milkfish). Since there were only two of us, and it was the Holy Week, we did not order this, but it was very tempting. What were ordered were the the single plates of garlic fried shrimps, baked tahong, fresh lumpiang ubod, sago't gulaman for drinks and leche flan for dessert.

| Yummy baked tahong - overflowing with cheese! - 280 Php |
We generally loved their food here. Their baked tahong are overflowing with cheese. The mussels are fresh and you can tell it once you get the first bite.
The garlic fried shrimps are very good, too. Their shrimps are bigger than those offered in Metro Manila and they are very fresh since this is a coastal town. You would think that the fishermen's haul goes straight into the restaurant. One thing I didn't like, though was the way the shrimp was cooked. The cook may have left them boiling a minute too long since we had trouble getting the skin off of them, but it's a very forgettable nuisance once you tasted them.

| Garlic fried shrimps - smells good, tastes even better. - 250 Php |
To have a balanced meal, we also ordered Fresh Lumpiang Ubod (spring rolls made with palm heart, lettuce, peanut sauce).
 |
| Fresh Lumpiang Ubod to balance the meal - 85 Php |
After our main course, we were even more delighted by our dessert - leche flan (caramel custard). It was a perfect way to cap off a delicious meal.

| Half Leche flan - 75 Php |
- Baked Tahong = 280 Php
- Garlic Fried Shrimp = 250 Php
- 2 cups of rice = 80 Php
- Sago't gulaman = 50 Php
- Leche Flan = 75 Php
- Fresh Lumpiang Ubod = 85 Php
- Total = 820 Php
When we entered the gate, it gave us the impression that we are in a movie set. The place looks like an old mansion complex where you shoot a film in which a character is very wealthy.
This place may have been used as venues for wedding since it is very picturesque. Too bad, I only had a camera phone with me that day, though.
There is a quite large parking lot inside. You get to pass a fountain on the way there.
The owner did a very good job landscaping the place. They made the place like it is its own ecosystem. Plants, trees, vines are plenty here.

The restaurant hall is huge. It is like an old warehouse converted into a restaurant. We felt relaxed while waiting for our order because of the the "forest"-like surrounding. The curtains on the ceiling are a nice touch and they cool off the air.
Tips for Wandering Peasants
- order the Bilao sa Dalampasigan if you come in a group of 4 or more. It's only 900 Php
- you can order 1/4, 1/2 or 1 whole plate of leche flan :)
- enjoy the place. It is very picturesque.
- a waiter/server is assigned per table, so if you have additional orders, get the attention of your assigned waiter for a quicker service.
