    Now, let’s talk about the stars of the show—the oysters! Wantusawa takes pride in offering fresh and succulent oysters air-flown from Aklan. Whether you prefer them raw on the half shell, delightfully grilled, expertly fried, or lovingly baked, their oyster selection will leave you spoiled for choice.

    The freshness and quality of the oysters are evident with every bite, as you experience their briny goodness and silky texture.

    Aside from oysters, Wantusawa also serves other delectable seafood dishes that will make any diner jump for joy. From savory noodle dishes to flavorful baked scallops, each dish is prepared with a focus on highlighting the natural flavors of the seafood.

    The Grilled Prawn Laksa is a surprising treat: chewy noodles paired with a spicy, creamy broth that still highlight the grilled crustacean and fragrant aromatics. Other crowd pleasers include the Shiro Butter Garlic Prawns, Baked Scallops with Bacon and Mushrooms.

    To complement your oyster feast, Wantusawa offers a well-curated selection of beer, spirits, and signature cocktails. Pairing your oysters with a glass of imported gin or a refreshing cocktail adds another layer of enjoyment to your dining experience.

    Wantusawa has even incorporated their oysters to their drinks in the form of the Oyster Shot. You’ll barely taste the sake in it as the oyster tends to overpower and retain its flavor.

    Palm Grill in Quezon City: Discover the Bold Flavors of Zambasulta Cuisine
    Palm Grill in Quezon City is a one-of-a-kind dining destination that brings the authentic cuisine of South of Mindanao to Luzon. Established in 2017, Palm Grill proudly serves the rich flavors, vibrant culture, and storied history of the Zambasulta region—Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi—offering diners a rare opportunity to explore Southern Mindanaon dishes without leaving Metro Manila. Known as the only authentic Southern Mindanaon restaurant in Luzon, Palm Grill goes beyond simply serving food. It showcases culinary traditions deeply rooted in Tausug and Zamboangueño heritage, highlighting ingredients and cooking techniques that are not commonly found in mainstream Filipino restaurants. A must-try for first-time diners is the Dulang (Php 1,119)—a specialty tray traditionally served during royal banquets. This curated sampler features a variety of Palm Grill’s signature dishes, making it the perfect introduction to the bold and layered flavors of Zambasulta cuisine. Presented generously and meant for sharing, it reflects the communal spirit of Southern dining. Another standout is the Tiyula Itum (Php 560), a striking black beef soup from the Tausug community. Cooked with lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, garlic, onions, and pepper, its distinctive dark color comes from burnt coconut meat, which imparts a deep, smoky richness. Often described as “Bulalo 2.0,” it offers a comforting yet complex flavor profile that surprises and delights. For something hearty and satisfying, the Beef Satti (Php 300) delivers skewered beef served with a flavorful sauce that perfectly balances sweet, savory, and spicy notes. It’s a beloved Southern staple that captures the bold personality of Mindanao’s cuisine. Through its thoughtfully prepared dishes and dedication to authenticity, Palm Grill continues to champion the culinary identity of Zambasulta. For diners in Quezon City seeking flavors beyond the usual Filipino fare, Palm Grill offers an immersive experience—where history, culture, and cuisine come together in every bite.
