Filipinos love seafood and anything with the unlimited tag. There's Unli-Rice, Unli-Iced tea, and now we have Unli-Shrimp! Lemonsprouts Cafe, located in Pasig, has launched their Unli-Shrimp Weekends! On Saturdays and Sundays, you can call them and reserve a table between these time slots: 1:30pm-3:30pm and 4:30pm-6:30pm. During those 2 hours, you can eat as much shrimp as you want for only P399! That is such a huge bargain in my opinion. I literally skipped breakfast and lunch in order to be able to consume as much shrimp as I can. Yes, I am a seafood fanatic (haha!).
Lemonsprouts Cafe can be found along Amang Rodriguez Avenue and it's near Puregold Ligaya; there are jeepneys that drive by the quirky little cafe which make it very accessible for everyone planning to visit. This tiny gem of a cafe has such a cool vibe even from the outside. When asked, owner Sheryl Pineda says she chose the name "Lemonsprouts" because it means "a happy growth." They opened fairly recently, just last September and already they have had tons of customers and even more people go there for the yummy food. For those not in the know, Sheryl is also the owner and Seamstress of the popular cloth diaper brand Cottonytail. The name Lemonsprouts seems to be a great choice for her brand and business has surely grown!
When we arrived, my son said "Wow!" because of the all the Star Wars memorabilia in the cafe. There are life-sized Storm Troopers and lightsabers galore. George Lucas would feel right at home! Sheryl said they plan on changing the theme annually and I can't wait to see what the next one is, especially since the design now is so amazing and child-friendly. We tried a bunch of stuff aside from the plump and juicy shrimps I had. Hubby said the chicken wings were perfect, and being a food snob, that is high praise indeed! My little Jedi loved their waffle and house blend iced tea. I tried the Chewbacca Mocha and it did not disappoint. But the highlight is still the Unli-Shrimp. They give the shrimps in a bag and you get to eat on a banana leaf plate. Gloves are handed out so you can peel the shell of the shrimps without getting your hands dirty. Dip your shrimp in the garlicky Aligue sauce and voila! A gastronomic experience indeed!
I want to reiterate that you have to call in and reserve your slot because they don't accept walk-ins for Unli-Shrimp weekends. And slots get filled fast! You can also send them a message on their Facebook page if that's easier. Also, if you're in need of a small party or meeting place, you can rent out the whole Lemonsprouts Cafe. It seats 20-30 pax and is a very hip and cool place for all sorts of celebrations; just message them to check their schedule. With that said, what are you waiting for? Message them now to book a seat for next weekend and satisfy your seafood cravings with their Unli-Shrimp Weekend!
