Seafood and Ribs Warehouse Restaurant

Before the year 2020 ends I went to visit my mom and brought her food over this time she was craving for sweet and sour Lapu-lapu. I wanted to eat an American meal the best part I was able to order it in one place. I had tried a new place I have never order from the name is Seafood and Ribs Warehouse Restaurant located at SM North Edsa. You should know me by now I order my food online due our pandemic months from Grab Food. The Ribs comes with mashed potato and mixed vegetables there is no gravy included although the taste is still good. The ribs are very soft and tender I can recommend you trying it for yourself. My mom was happy with her sweet and sour Lapu-lapu no complains with her and of course she took a portion of my ribs. The cost for the ribs is PHP 295.00 ($5.90) The cost for the sweet and sour Lapu-lapu is PHP 585.00 ($11.17) Not including delivery charge and tip to the rider.
