Great Bicol Dishes Fast and Tasty

Geewan is a part of Naga based

Graceland  chain of restaurants, 

…that includes Baker’s Plaza

a very popular bakeshop chain

with branches in almost all cities

and major towns in Bicol,

...Graceland, a popular fast food chain

in the region that rivals franchised national and

multinationals like Jollibee and McDonalds,

…and Red Platter, their more upscale fine dining

restaurant in Magsaysay Avennue in Naga City. 

Geewan is an elegantly designed tidy Turo- turo

where diners can get affordable ready to eat

dishes without having to worry about

having a dubious sanitary standard.

It is the place to go for CamSur tourists

 wanting to have a no frills  feast on

sumptuous Bicolano dishes fast and easy.

There is a wide array of  pre cooked

various Bicolano and Filipino dishes

displayed in a glass enclosed counter,

…where diner could choose their orders

and served directly to them after being

re- heated in a microwave oven.

 

We chose to dine on Geewan  after attending

an anticipated mass on a  Saturday night

and we were in a hurry to go home.

I never fail to order their Bulalo as the

beef broth was so tasty and perfect as

a meal starter and as a main viand as well.

The Lechon Paksiw is a must try as there

is just a  perfect hint of sourness of vinegar

without overwhelming  the slightly sweetish dish.

I am addicted to their Fried Lumpiang Ubod

and I would highly recommend this dish

but was not available at that time  so we settled

for Lumpiang Shanghai which is just as tasty.



Our family meal is not complete

without a fish for my young son

and we had a Fried Boneless Bangus

which just like any other fish dishes,

my son gobbled it up with gusto.

We also tried another fish dish which is

Sinaglay na Tuna a re invention of a
popolar Bicolano dish traditionally using Tilapia
 instead of tuna and everyone liked it.

And of course, one should not miss their

very popular Pinangat that is made of

chopped young crablets and wrapped

in gabi leaves and simmered with gata.



This iconic Bicolano dish and other Geewan 
Bicol delicacies are available frozen for those 
who want to bring them home as 'pasalubong'.

Geewan is a popular dining destination
for CamSur tourists wanting to sample
local cuisine fast and easy but affordable.
