Dennis Padilla disappointed at a seafood restaurant
DENNIS PADILLA – The actor took to social media wherein he expressed his disappointment at the pricey meal cost at a seafood restaurant.
In a video which he uploaded on Instagram, Dennis couldn’t help but express his dismay toward Aling Mahrya, a seafood restaurant located in Seaside, Pasay City. In the first part of the video, Dennis shared that they bought a Mango shake in the restaurant that cost P450 while the lobster is being sold for P5500 per kilo.
According to him, he went to the seafood resto along with his “balikbayan” best friend and five other people. However, instead of having a delightful experience, they were utterly disappointed.
Dennis said that he used to eat at expensive restaurants but their experience at Aling Mahrya was “too much” for him. After eating out at the said restaurant, their bill was around P38,000. He said he felt sorry for his best friend who paid for their meal.
In the last part of his video, Dennis Padilla called the attention of the Department of Tourism to check into the establishments at Seaside. His post went viral garnering mixed reactions from the netizens and among those who commented is actor-comedian Janno Gibbs. In the comment section, he wrote: “Grabe nmn presyo!”
This is not the first time that such a thing happened. It was in August this year when an island in Panglao, Bohol called Virgin Island made a buzz earlier after a netizen shared that her friend was charged over 26,000 pesos in a seafood “paluto”.
But the vendor denied that there was overpricing. Apparently, the damage has been done. All the tourist activities on the island have been suspended and the stalls were removed by the local government unit.

totoo naman po some establishments talagang over pricing lalo na kapag mga ofw o Foreigners ang magiging customer nila, sana bantayan din naman ng gobyerno natin ang mga ganito. dapat lahat ng presyo transparent sa restuarant.
As of this year, 2023, a kilo of imported Maine Lobster is less than P2,000 a kilo at retail here in Metro Manila. Cooking add-on paluto fee is usually P300 per kilo of any chosen meat. So with P2,500 a couple of person can already eat a decent lobster busog meals in any paluto. Dennis and company were overcharged.
Sana magkaroon ng puso ang marami sa ating mga kababayang nagnengosyo sa restaurant. Huwag naman niyong sakalin ang ating mga kababayan o maging turista man. Kung gusto ninyong yumaman agad, ibang negosyo o hanapbuhay ang inyong pasukan. Hindi ang restaurant business. Eh, paano kung ayaw kayong bayaran? Eh, paano kung ipasara ang inyong negosyo? Eh, paano kung mag-rally ang tao laban sa inyo? Mahiya naman kayo.
eh bakit hindi muna nag tanong bago omorder
Masyadong pricey talaga. Baka naman kasi gold yung lonster nila at gold din yung ginawang mango shake.
Alam kasi na artista at may kasama pang balikabayan kaya sinamantala nila.
Pero mali naman ang ugaling yan.
Sana maimbestigahan naman etong business establishment na eto. At mabigyan ng justice ang customers nila.
Hay Apo!
Panoorin mo ulit, sabi nga, sanay mag bayad ng mahal, so bakit mag tatanong? Afford naman nila, Kasilo nga lang, nagulat at overpriced naman yata base sa experience nila.
ireport yan sa BIR resibo anu klase ya n di nagbabayad ng tax
