For dinner, M took me to Haisan, a seafood restaurant. Similar to Manila’s Dampa but in a more classy restaurant setting. You can choose raw ingredients for your meal and have it cooked on the spot.

There were fresh fish, shrimps, clams, crabs, sea cucumber, etc.

This time, we didn’t have the crabs. Instead, we had the abalone! And they were still swimming inside the tank. M got two pieces, to be cooked with vegetables ala chopsuey. It was my first time to eat fresh abalone. I only got to try the canned ones.
We had clam soup, shrimps cooked adobo style and abalone with vegetables.

we also had the durian shake, which is sooooo good - thick and very filling, just like eating the fruit, only in liquid form.

One of the owners was M’s client/friend. We were given coffee jelly for dessert, compliments of the house. definitely one of the best seafood restaurant I have tried. The food was good and worth the price.... just a bit under Php 1,500.00 for two people.... not bad considering the price of abalone. This place is a must go to when you are in Zamboanga. :)
