Restaurant Review: Chef Mama Grill and Resto (Pineapple Island Resort, Daet, Camarines Norte)

Chef Mama

Delectable morcon

Barbecued chicken

The airconditioned, classy, fine dining Chef Mama Grill and Resto, the in-house restaurant of Pineapple Island Resort, is owned by Ms. Arlene Abecina-Vergara.

A superb cook, Arlene operates a food chain in Naga City (Sienalou, ryers and Caramel) in Camarines Sur.

Tofu sisig

Here we were served a delectable array of great tasting and resonably priced dishes.

It included grilled chicken, tofu sisig, pumpkin soup, laing, morcon and blueberry shake with delicious leche flan and turon with sesame seeds for dessert. 

Leche flan

Other bestsellers on its menu include ginataang bilo-bilo, crispy ube turon, and delicious chocolate cake.  A refreshing sight, while dining, is the  lush Butterfly Garden with its wild ferns, pond and mini-waterfall just outside.
