Golden Cowrie Restaurant has multiple branches in Cebu but I have learned from somewhere (a blog or TV show, I don't remember) that prices in Bohol are less than that in Cebu. But since we didn't check out the restaurant while we were in Cebu, I also can not confirm that hear-say.
Since it was near the St. Joseph Cathedral, we decided to have our lunch there. Golden Cowrie is located at VP Inting Avenue, Tagbilaran City, Bohol.
We started our meal with their Imbao Soup (Php 135). The soup distinctly tasted of ginger and its seashell. It was yummy and warm on the tummy.
For our main course, we had Crispy Dinuguan (Php 99) and Chicken Halang-Halang (Php 99).
The Crispy Dinuguan was quite disappointing - I was expecting it to have more crunch. It was just your ordinary dinuguan.
Their Chicken Halang-Halang on the other hand was appetizing. Its sauce was creamy and a bit spicy. My only wish for this dish is for it to have more meat.
And to complete our meal, we ordered their Budbud with Tsokolate Syrup (Php 59). I can't quite describe its taste, it was not the usual suman because the budbud itself has a bit hint of sweetness. The tsokolate syrup also compliments it well.
Overall, we recommend this restaurant if you're craving for a quick, affordable Filipino comfort food. Even though the viand serving is small - it is still reasonably priced not to mention their rice is unlimited.
