Guidebook for Subic Bay Freeport Zone
Food Scene
Affordable Japanese food that is a Freeport favorite. Go to the main branch, not to its Ayala Harbor Point branch. Their Salmon menu are their best-sellers (esp. the Salmon belly in skewers), although all bento boxes have good portioning. You can be capricious here: Ask the waitress to change the Sashimi or Sushi if you find them not fresh enough for you and the chef will surely comply.

It has seafront view. Reasonable prices on the menu, considering it has a cheery and star-status ambiance. Good food and their portioning, too. It is ideal to have drinks at the outer patio under the stars after dinner while listening to easy live music.
After your evening is done there, you may walk along the nearby seafront side of the establishments for people-watching. You may also want to do some bar-hopping of these establishments. One drink here, another there. Most of these bars and restos have their own brand of entertainment.

This is a community favorite because of it's sunset view by the sea (offers a different scene to our sunset view by the forest). It is only a 10-minute drive from your vacation address. Mostly foreign expatriates hang out her. Food tastes good. Prices and portioning are good, too.
The sea ions has powerful curative effects on one's well-being. That's why this is where we usually tell stories over sunset dinner.
Look for Chef Rubelh or the resto manager Mel- and say you are our house guests.
Another plus point: You may order wine by the bottle, paying the same price as you would when you buy it from the Subic wine shops. Our favorite is Yalumba Chardonay (Australian) or Opera Pink Rose.

Drinks & Nightlife
They have nightly entertainment: folk music, pop, and jazz- depending on the day of your visit. Drinks only, although we would recommend the Beef Salpicao sitting on French Fries for pica-pica. Favorite hangout of the locals and old-timers.

Everything Else
This is the Freeport's mall and it carries both local and international brands. It also has fast-food eateries and buffet restaurants (although we seldom eat there.)
It has a Starbucks and a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf.
Our favorite Coco-Lime is also located at the entrance to the mall so you can try having lunch there and after eating check out the mall for specials.
