Savoring the Supreme: Mamser! at Unwnd Camiguin
The restaurant at Unwnd Camiguin is a highly recommended in the island’s dining scene, and these five recommended dishes truly encapsulate the flavors of the sea and the local taste:
Seafood Marinara – This dish is a celebration of the ocean. The pasta is cooked al dente, perfectly entwined with a tangy marinara sauce infused with the briny sweetness of fresh mussels, prawns, and squid. Every spoonful seemed a burst of flavor, thanks to the mix of garlic, tomatoes, and a touch of herbs that could elevate this seafood medley to gourmet status.
Seafood Kare-Kare – A unique take on the Filipino classic, this seafood version substitutes the usual oxtail for a generous mix of fish meat, mussels, and shrimp, bathed in the classic kare kare peanut sauce. The addition of shrimp paste (bagoong) on the side balances the creaminess of the dish with a hint of saltiness, making it a must-try for those craving traditional flavors with an ocean twist.
Tipsy Shrimp – This dish lives up to its name with shrimps sautéed in aromatics, finished with a splash of alcoholic beverage. The alcohol adds a slight zing, cutting through the richness of the seafoody plus aromatics and enhancing the delicate sweetness of the shrimp.
Seafood Sisig – Unwnd Camiguin’s take on the classic sisig substitutes pork with a medley of seafood, resulting in a lighter yet equally satisfying dish. The crispy bits of fish, squid, and prawns are tossed with onions, chilies, and I requested not to put creamy mayo dressing or egg, creating a sizzling plate of flavors that’s perfect for sharing.
Pampano dela Reyna – A whole pampano fish is fried to perfection, its skin crispy grilled while the flesh remains tender, tasty and juicy. The dish is accompanied by a special soy-based sauce with citrusy undertones, bringing out the fish’s natural sweetness. Served with a side of sautéed vegetables, it’s a regal dish that lives up to its name.
