Newest Restaurant Row (or is it circle) in the City

Don't look now, but mushrooming at the Tacloban Convention Center are new resto's and dining places. One thing going for them is their location: right beside the refreshing waters of the Bay. Their customer base has slowly grown and this blogger and her friends had tried out at least two of these food haunts. The first one we went into is basically a pasta and pizza place (No names here yet, no plugging allowed, for now). We ordered fresh salads and a pasta dish, "blanco______", fettucini with white sauce. The latter was quite scrumptious with its hefty servings of carbonara. But what makes the place stand out is it interiors: beautiful paintings and a creative mural decks it walls. But then, I wouldn't recommend it for dinner, not if your of the voracious kind. Why, because they don't serve rice, perhaps it really is a pasta and pizza place. As for the other resto we went into ( we had to, we still had a grumbling stomach), we had sisig and their house specialty, steamed lapu-lapu (grouper). Service was fine and the staff friendly enough, just one suggestion though, more ice please for your drinks.

We still have to try the others in the Circle but maybe at another time, our tummy have had enough for now.
