HELLO Guten Morgen simsimsam ... always remember this.. if theres a good guy. always theres a bad guy... Buffet is much better.. yah it looks yummy but very expensive.. be careful next time.. enjoy and stay safe.
pro tip: whenever you see a saucer and clamansi and soy sauce, youre suppose to make your own dipping sauce with that. ratio roughly 1 tbsp soy sause is to 1 whole calamansi. youre welcome.
Please visit Siquijor island, a neighboring of Cebu where you can experience the most laidback-Pacific islander life. It's very peaceful there with a nice beaches too.
For the experience which you can never find in fancy buffets and fresh pick. Fresh seafoods are abit pricey similar here in Korea I also buy fresh seafood in seafood market and cook it there just like you did, It would be 150-200usd for 1 and buffet is just 30usd-50usd. Keep exploring the Philippines for the best experience.
Dampa is my family's go-to place for fresh seafoods. P2.5k to P3K for a kilo of live lobster is more than fair (always opt for the live ones despite their higher price. It's easier to find frozen lobsters in supermarkets and regular restaurants). Shrimps are way cheaper than prawns. Live prawns cost around P500 to 700 per kilo. Having them cooked at the restaurant is what makes dining at dampa expensive since they charge you per dish. Dampa is for big groups. Your meal could probably feed three people. P1.5k per person isnt that bad, considering that it's difficult to find good seafood in Metro Manila. As you travel farther down South to Aklan, Agusan, Surigao and Cagayan de Oro, you'll find the same fresh seafoods for a fraction of the price in Dampa (fresh oysters for 2 dollars!). For Manila folks, it's cheaper to eat at Dampa than to fly to Aklan.
Nice, thanks for the tips. Haha yeah, only problem is that I usually eat for 3-4 regular people 😂😂 The comments were very divided on the pricing, and the reviews also totally vary 🤷🏾♂️ But I've been suggested a lot to check the spiral buffet instead :)
Sam! You had 8,344 views on this vlog in 3 days compare to your 1 year ago vlog in New Zealand that only got you less than 3k views… it’s obvious, your future career is in our country! Prepare to extend your VIZA!
It looks sooo yummy 😋 so jealous haha 😄 thank you for sharing I want to try to go there atleast I have an idea about the prices be safe God bless Sir ❤
DAMPA = shanty or hut ... btw lobster in ph is really expensive cause its fresh... its hard to get fresh lobster if ur not in south east asia 😂 cause all crustacean do spoil very fast
If you visit the provinces near the sea there you will find the cheapest and freshest seafoods. Here in Manila its expensive because they have to travel the seafoods and it will go through a lot of taxes :)
Hi Sam! You had a fairly descent meal though I must admit that those market people did charge an arm and a leg! It’s not a mistake on your part but just consider it as a learning process and part of your trip adventure. Yes, as one guy said, you could have gone and booked yourself to Spiral Buffet in Sofi Hotel, about few minutes from China Town and certainly could have gotten the most of out of your money. But if you still would want to try and eat st this Spiral buffet make sure to bring a humongous appetite, have a light breakfast, skip lunch but take a very very light snack and schedule your booking for dinner time! Reservation and paying them on line is your best bet and be there at least half an hour or even 1 hour earlier before they open! Last, ask the reservation if they are serving “Eat all you can Lobster” JUST TO MAKE SURE!!! Or else, you kinda defeat the purpose of you going to the best Buffet in Asia even if they have huge number of choices of International food but as a recommendation you just can’t go wrong if the buffet serve an all you can eat Lobster and of different versions! You must try and it will help your channel grow! I personally think that your viewers are so looking forward to this venture of yours! I guarantee you that it will give you more subscribers! Make your vlog title catchy, like “MY BEST EVER FIRST CLASS BUFFET EXPERIENCE IN MANILA PHILIPPINES!!!” Remember to prepare yourself with a “HUGE APPETITE.” GOOD LUCK & ENJOY! PS. Find out and ask if there is a dress code, reason for this it’s because it’s a 5 Star Hotel, you just never know. Don’t assume because you are a foreigner you would be exempted from their protocol, so I strongly suggest for you to find out all the things you need to know before paying. After all, this is a big buck you’re spending…
@@SimsimsamTravels I am so looking forward to this vlog so soon; I know that this will gather you a huge number of views and likes! Strike the iron while it’s hot!
man you need to be witness the "ALAY LAKAD" today .. its an event where everyone is walking towards antipolo shrine, you must experience this one bro...
@@SimsimsamTravels the man that approach you and sell you lobster and anything are type of people you should not entertain..they taking advantage of the likes of you, if i were you, i'll not go back to his store, the way they approach you are not good and disappointingly. be careful always bro.. but remember 99% of Filipinos are kind, your just experienced that one that included in 1% of the bad guys... take care bro.. enjoy the Philippines..
Thats expensive, you can go to Vikings at nearby Mall of Asia for only 1k and eat tons of different food and seafoods and that 70 dollars will give you 3 days of good food.
I think if you will compare the price of what you bought and ate is higher than in provinces but definitely reasonable compared to restaurants in Manila.
Hi Sam...I would just like to let you know they sell it not fair price....it is too much...what a shame...I am so sorry for some people who takes advantage you...the lobster too small and with no good....too much...please ve guided and stay safe
@@SimsimsamTravels Im sorry for that bro but next time you should search it more or ask some filipino before you vlog , and my suggestion is to search for a buffet restaurant where you can find alot of filipino food that you can try for unlimited and for less 💲
@@SimsimsamTravels are you in Cebu right now? When you come back to Manila try to visit Baguio city, well 1-2 months is not enough to visit every good place here in PH , goodluck with your journey stay safe 🍻
@JulianSheesh I'm still in the Philippines, but left Cebu already. Thank you I'll give it a look 😊 yeah, I have to plan another trip to the Philippines again 😁
HELLO Guten Morgen simsimsam ... always remember this.. if theres a good guy. always theres a bad guy... Buffet is much better.. yah it looks yummy but very expensive.. be careful next time.. enjoy and stay safe.
Would be to easy otherwise 😅 thanks
Enjoy your yummy food...
Thank you 😋
Enjoy touring around and take care
Thank you, I will 🙏🏾
masarap brother!
pro tip: whenever you see a saucer and clamansi and soy sauce, youre suppose to make your own dipping sauce with that. ratio roughly 1 tbsp soy sause is to 1 whole calamansi. youre welcome.
Thanks for explanation 😁 I'm sure I'll be doing it wrong many more times

Everyone is suggesting that buffet place in Manila, maybe you should try that 😁😋
Look yummy eat well…
More subs to come sir
Good stuff . Love that you got to go places I couldnt even go and im filipino
You’re paying city price so it’s pretty pricey. If you want low price, you must go in the province near by the sea and you’ll get a bargain.🤠😎
Hello Sam always watching your Vedio .. interesting very nice roaming around the Philippines 😊❤
Thank you Daisy 😊
Saarappp❤❤❤😋😋😋
Keep safe sir
I love seafoods bro😊
Me too 😋
You're smart eating in the restaurant ordering lobster is expensive you done a good job injoy while you are there have a great day in good luck

I'll go there next time in Manila, thank you 🙏🏾
Mouth melting so yummy but expensive 😅 try to go sofetil buffet one of luxury buffet. Anyway enjoy eating

Immer wieder interessant! 🎉 weiter so 👍
Danke Sandwich
It is expensive because it is alivester.😊
That is Expensive for small amount of seafoods.... you should have ask first how much are the shrimps and squid.....at least you experienced it.
Its the demand... Less competetion higher the price ....
Shrimp in general is expensive
pls try sofitel spiral buffet its like 100$ but its unli and so worth it has like hundreds of dishes including seafood, cheese etc.
Yeah, wasn't easy for me. So many things happened at the same time 😅 I'll learn from it
The buffet sounds nice
That place tourist price..go to Cubao market direct to seafood marke..
It is really expensive in Dampa. The price they gave you was quite reasonable.
So expensive ingat
Come to Davao Brother and Samal Island
If you visit the provinces near the sea there you will find the cheapest and freshest seafoods. Here in Manila its expensive because they have to travel the seafoods and it will go through a lot of taxes :)
Yeah I understand, makes sense
Try the all you can eat buffet in Okada or spiral. Plenty of food choices. I am sure you will love it. Take care Sam 🙂 ❤❤❤
Sounds good, next time 🙌🏾
❤❤❤❤❤
Seafoods in dampa are expensive compare to the prices in province
Too much i will not go there 😂 😂😅😂

Next time definitely brother 🙏🏾
Lobster is really soo expensive here much more in city
Try to go to hotel sofitel buffet
I used to live in roxas city in capiz before moving to US. If you want seafood that is the place to be.
I had lunch there four years ago snd and it was expensive but enjoyed the meal
sam: "pouring soy sauce on the garlic rice" .
me: "stares violently in filipino"
😂😂 sorry
man you need to be witness the "ALAY LAKAD" today .. its an event where everyone is walking towards antipolo shrine, you must experience this one bro...
I was already out of Manila, it's all pre recorded

Those guys fooled you, it's so expensive for 3k
Thats expensive, you can go to Vikings at nearby Mall of Asia for only 1k and eat tons of different food and seafoods and that 70 dollars will give you 3 days of good food.
It is expensive if you eat alone. Its a place for big group. You can share the expenses.
Yeah that makes sense
Bro uhave to try bulallo in tagaytay i
It looks good 😋
your not getting scam lobster is expensive maybe a little bit overprice but you making good youtube content with them.
Capiz is the seafood capital of the Philippines
U should have gone to Spirals buffet. $95 seafood amd more.done.by 5 star chefs.
Di naman, been there several times, cooks lng nag luluto pag may event lng saka nag luluto mga chefs dun
I'll check this out next time I'm in Manila
MAHAL TALAGA DIYAN😊 KAHIT SA PALUTO MAHAL DIN TINI-TIMBANG MUNA BAGO LUTUIN😊 KAYA DOUBLE KILL KA😊
Tourist trap!!!
Red tide season is up
Basta lobster Mahal talaga Hindi yon over price,Manila Yan pricey talaga.kung wala Kang pera sempre Mahal.😆😆😆
Having the money doesn't mean that I'm willing to spend it 🤷🏾♂️
I got scammed the last time I went to a Chinese sounding name restaurant.I should have 22:41 just gone to Hong HK Master cook.
in fairness to the shop owners, I think they gave you a fair price.
Comments are very split on that one, but it was an experience 😊
The leftover food could be to go tell them
I think if you will compare the price of what you bought and ate is higher than in provinces but definitely reasonable compared to restaurants in Manila.
🙏🏽🙏🏽💙
For the Algorithm
💯
Good if you eat it with me group of 4 to five person . It not expensive
Lobster is expensive.
toooo expensive bro
I think you paid the exact price you should have tried the restaurant of the shop where you bought the seafoods because it is for free.
I didn't know they had their own restaurant... I wasn't really able to look around without getting hassled unfortunately
JUST GO TO SEAFOOD RESTAURANT IN THE CITY ITS MORE CHEAPER. THOSE FRSH SEAFOODS MARKET ARE CROOK AND HIGH PRIZES!
Yeah, now I know 😂
its better you choose the 40% discount
Haha, probably would have been the same price
Tourist trap. Thats expensive
Seafood you buy so expensive tho be careful brother to that people
Expensive price not even the US charge that price 🥲
Dampa is such a price trap even for locals. Negotiation will get you a bit closer to the fair price.
Yeah that's expensive!!! You could've gone to a 5 star buffet for $100 and eaten as much food as you want for 3 hours straight.
I'm looking forward to do that 😁😋
They give high prices to foreigners, taking advantage too bad
Hi Sam...I would just like to let you know they sell it not fair price....it is too much...what a shame...I am so sorry for some people who takes advantage you...the lobster too small and with no good....too much...please ve guided and stay safe
All good, you have to make mistakes to learn 🤷♂️ I'll know better next time 😊👍
Very expensive
That guy is killing you with his price. That's too much better just eat straight in the restaurant it's much cheaper. Wow prices are scary high.
🙈 I learned from it (I hope)
You make lobster as pulutan ,too big redhorse
the Scam is real..😂😂 5k + 1k?!! i cost 3k only.. 😢😢
tinalo pa luxury buffet
Super scam
Unfortunately 🤷🏾♂️
You got scammed brother. But, we all did. Charge it to experience.
Only way to learn
Hmm ifeel like those lobster doesnt have much meat
Could have been more 😁🤏🏾
not worth to buy seafoods there. It's really expensive. u can eat in "Eat all you can" resto for half of what you paid there
Yeah, next time I'm smarter (hopefully) 😁
You’re a tourist, so they’re expecting you to pay no question even giving a tip..
Next time don't order lobster instead order crabs it is more delicious than lobster lobster is expensive because the supply is rare
Too much bro , you can pay for a buffet with unli seafood with that price 😂
🙃 they got me
@@SimsimsamTravels Im sorry for that bro but next time you should search it more or ask some filipino before you vlog , and my suggestion is to search for a buffet restaurant where you can find alot of filipino food that you can try for unlimited and for less 💲
