KaLui Restaurant

This is the most popular restaurant in Puerto Princesa and they said your trip is not complete without eating here.  Well, I can guarantee that!  As soon as your plane touch the ground, turn your Wi-Fi on and make a reservation in this restaurant. Walk-ins are entertained but they prefer reservations since a lot of people eat here, even locals.

We were not able to make reservation, but were able to get a table since we were early.  It's a long wait, but all worth it.  Besides the restaurants have a relaxing environment so you can just sit and relax or be creative and do some yoga.

From outside, this restaurant looks like just a regular native restaurant, but inside, it really is beautiful.  It has a very homey nostalgic ambiance. I love that even though it's a popular restaurant it's very quiet.

Entrance of KaLui with the boxes for shoes

Slippers or shoes are not allowed inside, so you have to enter the restaurant barefoot.  You don't have to worry because the floor is clean and well-polished. They also have lockers and native baskets for the shippers and shoes.

KaLui has a wide range of menu, which still depends on the fresh catch of the day, but of course they also offer other dishes.  The must try, really must try, is their Pako Salad, it's the best!  I never like this vegetable, but I love their version!

Appetizer: Green Mango with Bagoong and Seaweed (Lato) Salad

Right: Kilawin

Shrimp in Garlic Butter

Can't remember the name of this dish but it's really good!

I actually love all of the food that we ordered, though I can't remember what most of them were called, all I know is they are all yummy! You have options to eat on a regular table and chairs, or Japanese Style.  We opted for the Japanese style since it's more comfortable and well, different.
