Fiesta Bicolandia Boodle Fight at Blackbeard's Seafood Island, Market! Market!

Having not to eat any meal in the last 36 hours, oh my just thinking it out again just make me feel like im passing out. I didnt pass-out just to settle things out clearly, but remembering what I just did for the weekend - slept, and played racing, and then slept again, and no eating-in-between, it was just unbelievably me.

So there goes my boodle fight, or 'should-have-been-a-boodle-feast' lunch. After the mind-boggling waiting for something to digest, we hopped to Blackbeard's Seafood Island and checked their menu. The 'pirate' said the serving should be available for 10-20 minutes. Ow god 20 minutes? But what is 20 minutes compared to the last 36 hours I waited for a food? But that is just another tedious 20 minutes, I thought.

But instead of trying out the buffet-style next to Blackbeard's we decided to check-in their boodle fight, and get one of its fiesta bundle offers, 'Fiesta Bicolandia.' It got some grilled white shrimps, grilled pork bbq, crab cooked in curry style, some shells inside a cold coconut, grilled fish, then the vegetable, the bicol express to complete the bicolandia experience, and the always-present rice.

So 20 minutes, fine. Let's check out the place then while waiting. We seated in a two-seater table near the resto door, and from there you will see the wall that looks like a treasure map. The ship, the pirates, the chairs, the ropes, the aquarium in the outside area where you'll see live fishes and shrimps, they make the by-the-sea-side ambiance real.

Then our food arrived, carried by a pirate in a huge wood that covered the table - inviting, and shouting that we grab them in 3,2, 1, but because we remembered that we are in Manila, and a few minutes away from our domiciles, we'll eat with plates, and fork, and spoon, instead of bare hands - the boodle fight way that it was supposed to be. 

The food was okay. Had the iced-teas refills been more automatic the experience could have been really perfect. But of course the way the pirates communicate with their visitors, they were very well, it was just not the 'snap snap' automatic way you'll see in fine dining restos. There was one instance that my teas glass was filled without me asking, but there were times that their attentions have to be called first before giving you what you've paid for.

The casualty? 

1 Fiesta Bicolandia 3-4 persons, 675, 2 bottomless iced tea - 190, 10% service charge - 77.23, total of a Php 942.23.

Ambiance was almost perfect, a/c can be improved, we dont want our customers sweating while eating 8.

Customer service was almost perfect too, initiative needs to be consistent from the crew pirates. 9.

Food, was sea-side style, grilled, and cooked nicely, 9.

Over-all experience, 8.5.

So over-all i'm recommending this place with an 8.5/10 rating.
