Ocho Restaurant - Its where celebrities eat

Tacloban City is a place rich with Philippine History. Remembering our heritage brings us back to the day when General Douglas McArthur made good his promise to return to the Philippines. He came back through the Tacloban and Palo beaches and in the neighboring town of Dulag.  Three days after the return of McArthur, the General was accompanied by President Sergio Osmeña and they made Tacloban the temporary seat of the Commonwealth Government and subsequently the temporary capital of the Philippines until the complete liberation of the county

Well, that is just half the story since the real story was the restaurant we had dinner - Ocho Restaurant.  This restaurant is located in downtown tacloban and according to the tricycle driver who brought us there, this is where Senator Manny Villar and Jojo Binay once ate when they were in Tacloban.

A lot of restaurants have been adopting the pick your food then the restaurant will cook it. Ocho restaurant is one of those kind of restaurants that cook the food after you picked it. THe sumptous meal was great, good thing I got a shot of the food with my phone camera since I left my DSLR in the hotel. Have a load of this.

The soup was a great appetizer and so was the kinilaw the chicharon balat ng tuna and kinilaw na tanigue.  The cooks were fast in cooking and we were lucky to eat right away. 

I am honestly happy with this new discovery and just like General Mc Arthur who came back to Tacloban, the only thing I can say to Ocho restaurant is "I shall Repeat!"
