(Not so) Seafood diet

   We were at Buma Seafood Restaurant at Tiendesitas last Friday. Jerome, who is not fond of eating, picked the place. It was not because he was paying the bill because he was. His friends, US, who think food is a Passion (yes! with a capital P) and whom he gave the liberty of choosing the place, were late. I think he chose Buma because of the seafoods. Being a cardiologist he could eat there without worrying about his arteries and lipid blood level. He always reminds us of the calories and cholesterol when dining together. We never listen. 

   Buma is the kind of resto where you pick your food and let them cook it the way you want. It’s like a smaller but expensive version of Dampa.  

  
   I think this one is called mixed veggies in oyster sauce. The broccoli are not cooked in oyster sauce though. Just steamed and placed on the plate for effect. At least it made the this photo look better. 

   Calamares. The dip was some kind of a sweet and sour sauce. More sour than sweet. I wonder if they have mayo and ketchup. We never asked for it.

   Grilled liempo. I didn’t notice the atchara until much later. I was satisfied with my soy sauce with calamansi, sili and garlic. Not too fatty so my arteries were safe.

   This is the most wanted dish that night. Grilled tuna. The chunks were big but the meat was soft. 

   The pork sinigang was served in a pot. The broth tasted burnt. How could a soup taste burnt? Is that even possible?
