With the demise of Lolong,
the famous Guinness World Record holder for the Largest Crocodile in Captivity,
I have no idea if this is timely to share about crocodile meat dishes but well,
I’m sharing about it anyway.
If you’re on your way to
Baguio City for Panagbenga, you might want to drop by Draft Buy Bistro in
Urdaneta City for a few mild drinks specially if you’re driving and of course, for
the exquisite and exotic crocodile meat dishes offered in this resto bar.
Meals
 |
| cheese sticks and crocodile sisig |
The place isn’t a fine
dining restaurant so don’t expect anything fancy but pulutan or side dishes for your drinks. You will find the usual French
fries, onion rings, cheese sticks, chicaron (fried dried pork meat), sisig (meat or fish
served via a sizzling hot platter), grilled meat, and so on. If you’re lucky,
you can save money with highland legumes (mani or peanut) through peddlers who
often offer stuffs. There are even children offering all sorts of items
including onion cloves, calamansi (local version of the Chinese orange), watermelon,
and other fruits or vegetables which can be sold.

| crocodile meat dish |
But I dare you to try any
of the crocodile meat dishes! My first taste of it was worth the experience. It
tasted like chicken or frog meat, not the warts full type of frog on alleys and
streets but the farm based soft skinned ones which are edible of course. During
another visit with friends, they agreed that it tasted like turkey meat but was
a bit oily. All croc meat used are farm fresh and with certification because they can't be sold without necessary permit.
Drinks
You’ll find the usual beer,
ladies drinks, cocktail drinks, juices, and so on. At the bar area, there are
bottles of classy drinks as well.
Entertainment
 |
| live acoustic band |
Live acoustic bands play
daily from 8 PM onwards. You can even sing with the band when you’re quite
confident enough or maybe with a tipsy type of confidence at anytime during
their session. I tried it once and it was fun.
Service
Several young waiters,
waitresses, and bartenders will attend to your needs right away.
Ambiance
The place is perfect if you
want a bit of fresh air because most tables and chairs are situated outside the
bar in an open area. You’ll hear noisy vehicles from a nearby highway though.
Parking
Parking space is ample
because the vacant space right in front of building also serves as an extension
of the parking lot.
Location
Ground floor T&S Bldg.
1, MacArthur Highway, Urdaneta City right beside Honeyrock Bistro.
Recommendation
If you’re looking for an
open air night out venue with music and an exotic dish, then this bar is ideal
for you.
