Every time we pass by Dagupan on our way to our family's home town in Ilocos Sur, we would often dine at Matutina's.  Mom hasn't gone back home for a very long time so she hasn't tried it there.  To our surprise, we saw Matutina's Gerry's Seafoods along Mc Arthur Hi-way. 

I told the family to make a quick stop so mom can try it.

While waiting for our order, mom shopped for pasalubong.  We bought bottled Bonuan Bangus in oil, fish sauce, Wow Bawang and even Rellenong Bonuan Bangus.
 


Food

Complimentary Pastillas Coconut

We were also given 1 Complimentary Pastillas Coconut each.

Complimentary Pastillas Coconut

It was delicious so we bought many of this to bring home to Manila as pasalubong.  If I recall correctly, it was sold at 3 packs for 100 php.

Sinigang

♥ Sinigang na Salmon Head (180 php)

The Sinigang na Salmon Head is a very hearty choice.  Everyone loved this! 

Seafood Specials

♥ Boneless Bangus Prito (165 php)

A visit to Matutina's is never complete without an order of their Boneless Bangus Prito.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Mom and the rest of the gang was very pleased with our stop at Matutina's.  This is indeed one of the best places to enjoy seafood coked in a homey and hearty Filipino way.
