If you missed our Tempura Haus review, go here.
For now, here are some pictures during the eat-all-you-can year end special that the place held last Saturday. They had a food tasting of the new stuff they're introducing on their menu such as the Serpent Maki, Grilled Salmon, and Crunchy Maki.
Tempura Haus also has a branch in Tacloban City, Leyte.
One of the new coffee bars in Ormoc City. A little farther from the city proper and most people who go there usually have their own mode of transportation (i.e. medical representatives and local businessmen). It is located in Badminton City, where Tempura Haus is also situated.
Noodle Boy says: The highlights of this venue are the beautiful ambience, great food/drinks, and fast wifi connection. The exterior design is amazing specially at night with their lights turned on and booming music at the background. The place is serene during late afternoons which is perfect for work and study. The most amazing GAMBAS I tasted is also here. The shrimps are incredibly huge while the taste is pretty distinct and mouth watering which makes you want more. The only downside here is the location and opening hours because they only open at 4pm to 1 am. Interior pics will be posted soon!

Ramen Girl says: Aside from the variety of drinks they have on their menu, they also have a lot of choices when it comes to the "pulutan". My favorite has got to the Sizzling Gambas which we are featuring here just because it is THE BEST one I've ever had in my life. Not exaggerating here. The shrimps are HUGE! Now only if they had rice on the menu when we went there, it would have been a real meal for me. The place has fast wifi connection, too, so you can work there. The place inside is Japanese inspired, meaning the tables are low and you have to sit on the floor or do a seiza. I forgot to take pictures inside. Maybe next time when I'm craving for their Gambas again. ;)

Sabins Hotel is the perfect place to be, not just for their accommodations but also if you just want to spend a lazy afternoon drinking beer, eating pizza, and stuffing yourself with their infamous paella while checking Facebook with their reasonably fast wifi connection and a spectacular view of Ormoc Bay.
Ramen Girl says: My favorite pizza flavors are the Seafood and Supremo which comes in super thin crusts. You'll have to ask for a fork to eat it though so as to not make a mess. As for the paella, I recommend the Sol Y Mar which comes with seafood, chicken, and pork. I love working while in Sabins... can really get the job done while enjoying it! The place is huge if you try to explore it. Their swimming pool is among the best ones in the region and the hotel itself has a class of its own.
