I got addicted with SHRIMPS IN ALAVAR SAUCE in the nearby resto from where I work (Dulce Manos, Juan Luna St., Davao City). They serve it for P80. Guess what, the number of shrimps are only 3… I nearly get mad when I saw them very small. But the sight of the sauce made me forget my frustration. I was surfing the net to find out the recipe of the sauce, but I couldn’t find one. I got stumbled here.

i am zamboangueña. families here have their own version of the “alavar’s sauce”. but most of those same families don’t bother and just go buy a bottle of the sauce — kuti kaayo. but you should try their bagoong gata. it’s on the sweetish side, so don’t say i didn’t warn you, but it is VEDY, VEDY addictive.

Weren’t they famous in the 90’s before? I remember when i was a kid, they have a restaurant at West Ave. in Quezon City.

Nice, thanks for pointing that out! Glad to see they still have a branch here at Quezon City.

The new Alavar Restaurant is along Scout Ybardolaza in Q.C. If you are on Timog
Avenue coming from EDSA and going towards Tomas Morato, Sct Ybardolaza is the street where there is a Shell Station on your left. Turn left and Alavar will be on your right side, just a little beyond the corner.

This is where I buy my supply of Alavar sauce and bagoong.
