Dampa sa MOA

Every time I hear the word "DAMPA" it excites me. I always imagine a mouth watering sea foods. I asked my friends grand mother and she told me that Dampa means seashore. Others would say Dampa is a nipa hut. So if you asked me to define DAMPA, I would say it is a HUT that is located near the sea shore specifically design for eating. hahaha thats my own definition. 


 So when we (me and my friend - Anton) had the chance to go out together. We tried eating at Dampa in SM Mall of Asia in Pasay. Since it is my first time I am not particular on how the transaction goes. There are a lot of Dampa Restaurants in MOA so we have to choose. We don't have an idea and don't know who offers the best.


So we choose Aling Mahrsya Dampa Paluto Restaurant. Since it is my first time I am expecting a little bit more though I dont know what to expect though.. wahahah. So we choose shrimp, rice and Adobong Kangkong on the side.


While I am munching the shrimp. I decided to eat using my hands as a spoon and fork. In short we call it KAMAYAN!!!! I loved it! Aling Mahrsya is comparable to a LUTONG BAHAY.


After eating, we decided to sip a cup of coffee at the Starbucks. I think it is a combination... I loved it.

Travelling PASAY! The Premier Gateway to the Philippines


Last May 12, 2012 it was my friend’s Birthday (Anton). Since I work at night we decided to go out at night and visit the SM Mall of Asia. Sometimes, it is better to go there at night to avoid the warm ocean breeze most especially for me where I have little patience under the sun. hehehe

We decided to watch a movie, unfortunately that time we don’t feel watching the movies available. So we decided to just go around and do some window shopping and maybe spotting some items that we could buy when budget permits.

After few hours we went out the mall maybe do some stargazing and to add it more the different lights adorn the MOA Park. The laughter of children playing on these beautiful rides scattered along the stretch of the park. Along with these are the songs played by the bands in the bar symphonized by the splashes sea water hitting the sea wall.

After long walk from window shopping to walking along the park and stargazing we decided to stop by a restaurant named Aling Marsha Dampa Resturant. Of course if you go out we don’t just don’t go out and tire ourselves out. After that tiring refreshing walk it is time for us to grab something to munch.

We never tried Dampa before. So we decided to just try it and have a feel of it. At least to have a totally new experience. I think it is always good to try something new once in a while.

Below is my top picks that I recommend worth visiting in Pasay City.

1. Nayong Pilipino is a theme park that show cases the different cultural group and racial groups in the Philippines. This theme park is located near Manila International Airport. If you are in Mall of Asia or anywhere in EDSA one can just take a bus going to MIA (it will only cost you Php 12.00 depending on your location) or one can take a passenger jeepney if you are along Rizal Park or Taft Avenue (fare would range from Php 8.00 to Php 15.00) depending on your location)

2. Cultural Center of the Philippines 

3. Folk Arts Theater
