Seafood at Aling Mahsya

Sugpo
Shopping for Sugpo at Dampa along Diosdado Macapagal Avenue.

Seafood lovers would call Diosdoda Macapagal Avenue their haven. Prior to the restaurants found along the area, there’s the famous Dampa at Paranaque City. And there was Seafood Market which is also like Dampa-style (you even have to shop also for the vegetables aside from the seafood itself). Just like any Dampa-style restaurant, the first thing that you have to do is to market for the seafood.

We shopped for “Lumot” (it’s called large squid in English), mussels, prawns, white shrimp, crabs, salmon sashimi and seaweeds.

After shopping, we went to Aling Mahsya’s restaurant to have these cooked. Of course, you have to give instructions on how you want the seafood to be cooked.

Had a dinner with my kids last saturday in this restaurant. The food is great, the service was a bit average, but the price was really annoying! This restaurant charges for the cooking fee and another for the service charge. This is disgusting!!! Almost 75% of the bill was for the service and cooking charges alone. We billed for P3,290 and there is this an addlt charges of P430 appeared on the bill. As I asked the waiter regarding the addtl P430? The waiter answered that its the 10% service charge to be added on our bill. What a FUCK! Where in the world that the 10% of P3,290 is P430???? After I complained, they revert back the bill to its original amount billed. They deleted the service charge instantly! This restaurant are abusing those customers who did not check for the details of their food bill. I think there is RACKETEERING or CONSPIRACY here with the waiters and the cashiers. MAKARMA SANA KAYO!!!
