Another restaurant in Puerto Princesa that I was able to visit was Ka Lui's, recommended to me by Chef Ed. This restaurant is interesting because they make you take off your shoes and walk just with your socks or bare feet around the restaurant. At first I jokingly wondered if the smell of feet would get in the way of the aroma of the food. But I guess when you've got fresh air, there's nothing to worry about, haha. Thank God walang butas mejas ko the day we ate there.

They have a petite menu. All seafoods. Since we were lobster'ed out the day before at Seaside, we passed on this one. But they have specials that include a blue marlin steak, steamed lapu-lapu and prawns that is good enough for three (menu says two). Its a very, very reasonably priced set. I wanted to explore other fishies though so I ordered the crispy fishtail, which was too bony for our taste but very tasty nonethess; and the sinigang na ulo ng maya maya, which was a real winner. They also had giant shrimp in garlic which I would recommend if you are not allergic.

Their buko juice is served by the glass but if you ask, they can serve you the big buko itself and you can have all the fun of scraping out the buko meat yourself!

Panalo!
