Yum yum yum
The other day we went to Manna Sutukil (sutukil is a Cebuano term stands for sugba (fish cook in charcoal) , tuwa(shells or fish cook in boiling water with tomatoes, onions and seasonings , kilaw (fresh fish, squid or shrimp added with vinegar seasonings, onions, tomatoes, ginger).
I have no idea where did they get the name of their restaurant, I am thinking that maybe they get it from the word Manna or Mana in the Bible, the food that was eaten by the Israelites during their journey in the desert.
Anyway, if it’s your first time to go there, expect that there are wide varieties of sea foods that you can choose. The prices are usually in per kilo, and that includes the way you want it to be cook,for example crabs are P280.00/kilo and you may request it to be steamed. For shrimps you may choose to cook it with garlic or hot chili sauce. Shells are usually cook for Tuwa or cook dry with butter. They also offer different kind of shakes (mango, pineapple) for P65.00, or you may opt for fresh buko juice.
We occupied the tables on the second floor, though they have also air conditioned room in the first floor, we still go for the fresh air, Manna is by the way located near the sea. The restaurant is near the Lapu-lapu shrine and it was the same area where Magellan and Lapu-lapu fought dtd April 1521.
