Dive into a culinary journey at Ocho Seafood & Grill, where traditional Filipino seafood dishes transform family dinners into unforgettable feasts.

It’s not often we get to spend time with relatives visiting from the Philippines for a family member’s wedding. Carmina's father was getting married in Tacloban , and everyone flew miles to attend the big day. On the first day of our arrival, before the event began, my cousin Mariles suggested we have dinner together. Mariles asked if we enjoy eating seafood, and I told her we do. Carmina messaged all the family members Mariles wanted to invite and asked if they were free for dinner. Mariles had informed everyone we'll be having dinner at  Ocho Seafood & Grill  located in Tacloban. My dad arranged for a driver so we could all ride together in a van. Upon entering, Mariles informed all the family members that she had already preordered our meals. The only thing we had to order was our beverages.

Carmina's Late Lunch Vegetable Cream Chowder from Old Baguio Cafe, Quezon City, Philippines

Carmina doesn't need to go to Baguio City to get some fresh vegetables. All she needs to do is purchase food that is ready to eat. Carmina went looking for vegetables soup for her meal. Carmina decided to order vegetable cream chowder from  Old Baguio Cafe . I had placed my order through Grab Food Delivery arrived with a brown paper bag and inside a plastic container it was sealed up no spillage.  The vegetable cream chowder was still hot placing it in a bowl.  It has bread floating on the vegetable chowder soup. The price of the cream vegetable chowder soup 250.00 pesos ($4.55) not including delivery fee. The serving is big enough to fill me the whole day. It was very good not to worry not eating any seafood in your cream chowder. I am on a challenge staying away from any meat or shellfish.  It depends on if you're a type of person if you eat a lot or someone like me can get full easily. NOT SPONSORED.

All a sudden I had skin allergies and was told to stay away from any meat and fish we have to figure what we can cook out of our meal.
