As it was recently featured in TV, and knowing that it was just an hour drive away from where we live, Jeng, Ate Marie and I decided to try the Hapag Restaurant.
Hapag is located at Hiyas ng Bulacan Compound in Malolos. The location is not located in hi-way so it's kinda hard to find if you're not familiar with the place.
It was way past lunch time when we arrived which was a good thing cause the place wasn't crowded. (Though I'm not sure how full the place is during lunch or dinner hours.)
The place itself is good and pleasing to the eyes. It was quite spacious.
This is the first thing you'll see as you enter. I actually like the interiors of their restaurant. It has a modernized approach that gives the place a homey feeling.
The receiving area spells COMFY. It actually invites me to rest, relax and sleep for awhile. (yeah, i can sleep whenever and wherever)
But... being featured in TV and all, I actually have high expectations of their food.
I wouldn't have mind if it's a bit pricey as long as the food tastes good. BUT, yes, I was disappointed.
Lechon Kawali Karekare (Php 178)
Prawns and crab in oyster sauce (Php 400+)
Being a crustaceans lover, we also ordered crab and prawns in oyster sauce to share. The menu says it's for 2-3 persons. But as you can see, there were 3 of us and there's only ONE crab. Good thing we didn't fight each other on whose gonna get that hard-shell delicacy.
We also ordered Fried squid for appetizer but it came together with the main course. (Take note: the rice came 5 minutes after they served the main course and the appetizer.)
But hey, their plain rice is only 15 pesos. Cheaper than the fastfood chains' rice right!? So extra rice is a MUST! haha!
Overall, I wasn't really impressed with Hapag. The place is good but for a food with not-so-affordable price it lacks quality.
