Davao is home to the
Philippine eagle, mangosteen, and durian. But since 2013, it has also become
the home base of Blue Posts Boiling Crabs and Shrimps considered as one of the
best homegrown casual-dining restaurants in Davao.
Diners come in droves
to Blue Posts Boiling Crabs and Shrimps for its unconventional and informal
dining style and an interior inspired by the look and feel of a fisherman’s
wharf. A fisherman’s wharf is the place
where fisherfolks converge and one of the most famous examples of this is the
fishereman’s wharf in San Francisco, California which has been redeveloped into
a tourist attraction.
Blue Posts was not envisioned
as a seafood restaurant. When a group of
friends, all fresh out of college and with a common love for going out, travelling,
and bonding over food and drinks, decided to venture into a business 22 years
ago, their original concept was a bar.
In 2013, Blue Posts
was redesigned into a casual-dining haunt.
The place owes its reinvention to Mr. And Mrs. Anthony and Jennifer Ang
who is one of their US trips noticed the emergence of casual-dining seafood
restaurants. Their popularity was such
that people would line up even before the stores would open and didn’t mind it.
One of these
restaurants was so distinct it boasted a “messy finger-licking” dining style
which reminded the couple of the very Pinoy “kamay-kainan” dining fashion.
At Blue Posts, dining
with bare hands is the norm. Once the
food-grade was paper is set before you accompanied by a Blue Posts bib, prepare
for a messy but satisfying gastronomic adventure.
Diners can choose from
a wide roster of seafood placed in a food grade boiling bag mixed with the
signature Blue Posts Cajun Special Sauce, along with corn cobs and other extras
such as sausages and boiled potatoes.
Customers can choose whether they prefer it regular, mild, or spicy
hot. Whatever level of flavour you pick,
the dishes remain interesting, mouthwatering, and worth going back to.
Other than its
delightful seafood menu, another Blue Posts attraction is the writing of
graffiti on the restaurant walls.
It is no wonder that
aside from the first branch which opened on December 8, 2013 along J.P. Laurel
Avenue and between Davao Water District and SM Lanang Premiere, Blue Posts
Boiling Crabs and Shrimps launched the second branch last June 28, 2014 at
Lanang Business Park.
Bigger things are in
store for this Davao homegrown restaurant this 2016. Blue Posts Boiling Crabs
and Shrimps continues to spread the seafood goodness unlike anything you’re
ever tasted with the launch of its very first branch in Manila at the 4th
level of The Block at SM North Edsa.
From Davao to Manila,
the journey of Blue Posts Boiling Crabs and Shrimps is something worth
relishing.
