A must for those visiting Zamboanga City is eating at Alavar. The restaurant, of course, is famous for the sauce that bears its name, which a lot of people say goes well with any food. Sauce aside, Alavar serves excellent local dishes including the curacha - a type of crab indigenous to Zamboanga.

While we ordered the usual bilao set for our dinner, we also ordered two dishes involving raw tuna - sashimi and kinilaw. Here is their presentation of maguro sashimi.

I ordered my usual buko in a shell. This one came from a young, healthy coconut and was harvested at the right time. That means plenty of coconut water and meat to enjoy as dessert.

One of my objectives for this trip is to replenish our stock of bottled sardines. Fortunately, the restaurant had a lot of stocks of the Spanish sardines in olive oil variety that I always buy from their store.
