Chillin' and Eatin' @ Fisherman's Net

Ok, here's the pic. Where should we chill today? High-end coffeeshops with their AC's were definitely off the list. We needed a place where we could just hang out for a chat and smoke, devour a good lunch without it having to burn a deep hole in our pockets. Then Chinx suggested, Fisherman's Net along Lahug main road would do the trick.

"Where else can you find a tall glass of mango shake that costs only 20 pesos???" Chinx declared. Hmmm... even I couldn't counter that. Fisherman's Net it is.

The outdoor garden restaurant provided just the relaxed atmosphere we were looking for. And what was on the menu? Hmmm... appetizers ranged from the 120-peso-bulaklak, gambas, calamares down to the 30-peso-squid rolls and kikiam. Specialties go from the 130-peso-sizzling stuffed squid, boneless bangus and buttered chicken priced at 110 pesos each down to the 50-peso-French fries. Oh, they do have value meals too. For 55 pesos, you can have either meat balls, chicken bbq, sweet and sour pork, buttered chicken... just to name a few, and that already comes with rice, a side dish of atchara and a small glass of iced tea. I had a moment of confusion though coz they also offered the same dishes at 60 pesos but without the iced tea. Asked whether the 60-peso dish was of a bigger serving, the waiter replied that they were served the same size. So...???

We settled on Pork Sisig (100 pesos, no rice), a chicken bbq value meal and of course, a couple of those 20-peso mango shakes. The mango shakes were great, although I would prefer to taste more mango, less or no milk on my shake though but then to each his own. And for 20 pesos? Still worth it.) Pork sisig? Serving size, fine. Taste? Delish. The chicken bbq meal? Yummy but... I specifically asked for a thigh part and they gave me a teeny weeny drumstick. Hmm...

Great food, slow service though. And you might want to double check your bill first if they charged you with the right order.
