Bucket O' Shrimps and more

If you are fond of seafood, then here's another restaurant that you might want to try out - Bucket O' Shrimps and More. Bucket O' Shrimps recently opened last November 6 and is located at Jr. Borja Extension, just in front of Capistrano Complex. They open daily from 10:30am - 2:00pm and 4:30pm - 10:00pm.

This is how the place looked like when we went there this afternoon. We were the first customer to arrive actually. We did that on purpose as we wanted to avoid the large crowd and of course, the long wait. As we all know, Kagayanons always line up for newly opened restaurants so if you get there during peak hours, then it would be hard to find a table to dine.

The restaurant have a freedom wall for their customers just like ones at Redtail Shrimps and more. I get a feeling that the two restaurants are related since everything is almost the same - from the restaurant name, the menu, the freedom wall and etc. If you ask me if they are of the same owner, that I don't know for sure.

Here's the menu:

And so we ordered the Bucket of Shrimps in Captains Favourite flavor (Medium Spicy), 2 unlimited rice and 1 liter of House Blend Ice Tea.

Complimentary ice tea were given to customers who dined on the 2nd week from the start of their opening. Drinks are in mason jars like the one on the photo below. Cool!

Our orders came but unfortunately they served Captain's Choice instead of a Bucket of Shrimps. We told the lady of the issue but she explained that guy who took our order indicated Captain's Choice instead of shrimps. She apologized and explained that she will be adjusting their music volume as probably that's the reason why the guy did not hear us properly when we ordered. So since she apologized,  I expected that she'll go ahead and give us our original order but when I asked her how much time it would take for our order to be served, she asked me if I was going to get an additional order. say what? ugh! disappointing first impression!

Hubby was already pissed off and hungry at the same time so we did not argue any further. We just heard mass and we didn't want our good vibes ruined for the day. Captains Choice didn't looked bad really, it was even enticing but it's just that our expectations were set to eat shrimps. So we couldn't help but get disappointed. The lady was very apologetic though and tried to make amends by providing polite customer service.

Our total bill was Php561. And this was the aftermath:

Hand towels were also given to customers which I think is no longer needed since they already have a wash area and a hand dryer.

And so here's our verdict:

The taste

Captains Favourite flavor was delicious. It tastes sweet and has a mix of butter and coconut milk. We ordered Medium Spicy but it was not spicy at all. It could be that guy who took our order again did not hear that we said "medium spicy".

Value for Money

Not bad if you're craving for seafood and didn't have the time to cook. Also, there's an option for unlimited rice. 

Am I going to dine here again?

With the recent experience, maybe.
