Bob Marlin, Bicolano Jamaican

Bob Marlin

Bicolano Jamaican

Bob Marlin in Magsaysay Avenue

is an iconic restaurant in Naga City…

The ambiance

 is Jamaican…

 but  ironically, there is really

nothing Jamaican in the menu,

…but  a showcase

of the finest Bicolano Cuisine-

 

That’s what Bob Marlin is….

 

“Drink  like a fish…”

says the resto’s catchy tagline

that effectively captured the yuppies…

…and with a reputation of serving good food  to boot…

-it attracts the whole family as well…

Our foray at Bob Marlin’s began

with Bob Marlin Mushroom Appetizer

and found the dish to be salty…

 

It was followed by one of their bestsellers-

Tinolang Manok.

 

This Bpb Marlin dish  has been praised

even by  the Azkals  as the best they tasted

and posted their comments on the wall…

 

In our case, 

we also found it salty…

 

 

We were starting to get disappointed.….

until they started serving the main fare…

The fried Hito was so good

that my son did not want to share it anymore…

 

The Pinangat has a young crablet filling

could put the plain gabi leaves version into shame…

 

The  Blue Marlin Slab

was indescribably tender and delicious…

The  Chop Suey was tasty

 And the veggies still crispy

 

And there is only one way to describe

their  OMG Crispy Pata…

 

 …you guessed it right-  

 OMG.

  

While we were eating

we still noticed the extra saltiness of the food.

We later found out that it was from the Bagoong Rice.

 We set aside the offending dish,

 ordered plain rice

and everything turned out well.
