Alona Beach Dinner, Panglao Island, Bohol

Dinner at Alona Beach,

Panglao Island, Bohol

***

Last time I was here, I wanted to eat at this place, (I forgot the 

name of the seaside restaurant at Alona Beach) but, my travel buddy

chose to eat at the restaurant beside this place because it

had nicer chairs, pretty tablecloths and firefly lights. I remember what I had

for dinner then ... chicken barbeque!!!  Nobody eats chicken

barbeque at the beach.  Guess what?  That restaurant is CLOSED! 

For months I craved eating those scorpion clams.

I don't really like eating mussels, oysters and other clams, but I

just had to taste the scorpion clam.  Last time we were in Palawan,

I missed the chance to eat scorpion clams because I stayed in the 

hotel instead of joining the group for island hopping.

This time, I will not miss this opportunity!

We had dinner for two consecutive evenings at this

place in Alona Beach.  I really have to ask my Son for the name of

this restaurant. The scorpion clams cost 250 per plate. We got two servings..

The fishes cost about 900 per piece, or 700 if they're smaller.
  The big prawns cost like 1200 per kilo.

That's the big Maya-maya ... Sinigang na Maya-maya

Got the white shrimps, since they were reasonably priced

at 450.  I actually prefer these tender  and tastier white shrimps.

The bigger prawns tend to become tougher and quite pricey!

Lato Salad  was 70 bucks per serving. we got two.

There was another type of seaweed but it wasn't as tasty

as this one.  I forgot to take a photo. They didn't eat it anyway.

These are the scorpion clams! Grilled to perfection.

They tasted like the sea. I like the chewy texture of these clams

 than the soggy soft texture  of the oysters or  mussels.  

Just be careful of the sharp 'claw' of the scorpion clam. 

 Hubby says the claw is actually part of the shell 

which the clam uses to cover the opening of its shell.  

Is that so?  I thought it uses the claw to walk!

The kids had some kebabs.  They miss eating pork & chicken.

Oooooh!  Such funny faces.

This is why they had such 'mukha-asim' smiles!

I have always wanted to go back to Bohol.

Two reasons:  Ist ... to eat scorpion clams.

2nd... to see the chocolate hills again

That's why I dragged the Hubby and the kids to Bohol.

Fun fun fun!
