Review Zaks Place

I never serve creme dory either.
My regulars know what they want, so when price halves again soon, my price will still remain the same.
Swings and roundabouts . In the meantime I've served a shed load of beer, too.

 

Of course we're not. They'd be on factory ships for months then transferred to a warehouse in Manila. The transport costs from Manila to Dumaguete, plus the cost of dry ice would cripple a small outlet like mine. Then there's the quality factor... Likely be freezer burnt, frozen and defrosted several times. NO! I use only fresh fish.

 

OK fine. Agree. I did not expect to get a response from the actual owner BUT;

What about that home for battered fish?

The home for battered fish is next door to the home for battered husbands.

 

No, not locally. I managed to find white distilled vinegar at Hypermart. It's okay, a lot of chippies in the UK are using it now though it doesn't have the same kick as malt vinegar.
Just prior to opening I imported a small fortune's worth of dry goods and decent equipment. Part of this order was non brewed condiment. This is a highly concentrated form of malt vinegar ,water it down about 12 parts to each gallon. They wouldn't allow it on the plane. can't say I didn't try.
I noticed a query somewhere regarding tartare sauce. Correct I didn't have it the first time, you have no idea the pressure we were under at that time. Our 7 year old son, Zak, Had recently died at Silliman hospital due to wrong diagnosis, poor training and general laziness. We had just started litigation using a lawyer in Manila, a local lawyer may well be easily coerced. However, I digress. I realised there wasn't any tartare sauce and sent an assistant out to buy some. They returned with powdered tartar which is used to bolster meringues and the like. So I now make my own, including the mayonnaise. I imagine the flavour isn't the same every time as I can't always get all the ingredients I want . Ask a supermarket assistant for anything other than junk food , I.E. dill pickle, capers, gherkins, etc. and all you get in return is the 1000 yard stare. And no, I'm not going to buy in bulk as there's little enough room on the truck and I'm not turning our home , our last bastion of privacy, into a warehouse.
I've just returned from the fish markets I bought yellow fin tuna. White marlin made a late appearance looking decidedly worse for wear and at 600 pesos a kilo it's not going on my menu.
It will soon be time to start baking and to decide on the dessert for today. So, I'll bid you good morning and have a great day.

 

Hypermart !

 

Sorry to hear about your tragedy jessie77 and had I known I would have thought it not appropriate to make jokes about batteted fish etc. in lightening up a conversation in such a grief stricken time in your life. My best wishes and hopes that you find resolution with Silliman and also for the success of your restaurant, named after your son, and which is walking distance from my house. Best to you.
