18th St. Palapala Seafood Grill Restaurant – The Best Seafood Restaurant in the City of Smiles
Fan of sea foods? Or might I say fresh seafood? Well, when it comes to Bacolodnons, Palapala is the same as having that fresh seafood on display and you can say what way you want them cooked. Sounds yummy? Yes, this has been a tourist attraction in Bacolod. Thus, the whole experience also of choosing what fresh seafood you want and what way you want them to be cooked is really exciting. This is something that many expediters, travelers and tourists really find enjoyable.
Have you tried it? For some who have, I’m sure that you will all agree with me. If you have tried the old Palapala marketplace along San Juan St. Sure, you have tried the foods to be cooked grilled. Sometimes it is fried or can even be “Tola” (local term for Fish Sinigang). It is relatively limiting and you have some choices.
On the entrance, you’ll see a huge Welcome sign to greet you. It is very delightful and amazing to really see that they cook food in a unique way. I can say that some of which also have a touch of other cuisines. Behind the Bacolod 18th St. Palapala Restaurant are the Lopez Family who love travelling and being involved in various activities and interests. And because of these experiences, they acquire ideas that helped them to create and expand the restaurant’s menu. And when you tried to enter, you will notice that the place is very spacious.

Blue Marlin that’s grilled is very mouth-watering. And I can tell you, aside from being fresh; the fish makes a great dish for a luxurious lunch. Aside from this, you can pick from a large variety of fresh seafood.

Also, the Lapu lapu fish head with bell pepper sauce is absolutely delicious. Oops, don’t worry. It is not really spicy. As what they say, it is inspired by a food unnamed from an eatery located in Makati.

For the shrimp, they are offering the Steamed Shrimp in Lemon Butter Sauce. Also, it is inspired by one of their travels abroad, in Singapore. I love how they cooked the shrimp. In this way, this is not the typical steamed nor tinola. A lemon butter sauce is mixed with the steamed shrimp gives you a unique experience. Well, it is different because it’s not too saucy to overwhelm the flavour of the shrimp. Absolutely, it manages to still put the shrimp on the spotlight. The Peppered Shrimp is also a must try, it is sauteed and with lots of peppercorns – for those who love the spicy peppercorns.

Are you familiar with kinilaw na tanigue? I don’t know if you’re thinking with a tasty dish having coconut milk with tomatoes, vinegar, red chilli and kadios beans mix with salted eggs. Sounds appealing? Yup! This can be your favorite dish when you try this 18th St. Palapala. You cannot taste the raw fish and also the awkward texture is removed.
