Durianburg is know for many things, the Philippine Eagle, Mount Apo, Durian, and Waling-waling. Recently however, there is one more icon that can come to represent the vibrant food scene of the city and that is Blue Posts Boiling Crabs and Shrimps (BPBCS).
With a fun vibe, a messy and finger-liking kind of dining experience, plus truly delicious sea to table fare, Blue Posts Boiling Crabs definitely piqued, not the the favor of the local Dabawenyos, but also made Manilenyos travel the distance just to be able to have a taste of their fatty crabs and succulent shrimps. The demand was so great that BPBCS finally opened their first restaurant at SM City North Edsa’s The Block making it the first Dabawenyo full-service restaurant to go nationwide.
Wanting to come full circle in Davao City and to thank Dabawenyo VIPs from the city’s southern districts, Blue Posts Boiling Crabs opened its third branch last January 20 at the ground floor of The Annex of SM City Davao.
Staying true to the restaurant’s ‘It’s ok to be messy’ slogan, the opening event was like a grand picnic where family and friends of owners, Anthony and Jennifer Ang, arrived to feast on over 300 kilos of crabs and shrimps.
Accompanying their entrees were sides of corn cobs, boiled potatoes, and sausages as well as other dishes such as Native Chicken, Sinuglaw with Green Apples, and Pomelo Salad. BPBC partnered with Nestle and came up with an all-you-can-drink Mixology Bar that compliments well with the delightful flavors of BPBC’s dishes. The Mixology Bar has six base flavors that you can mix up according to your liking to come up with your own flavor, this personalized way of drinking is exclusively available at BPBC branches.
The evening was made even more special with the launch of BPBCS’ Bucket Listers Loyalty Program. It is a loyalty rewards program that aims to give back to their loyal customers both in Davao and Manila, and to create an avenue to encourage new users to experience fun, messy, and high quality sea to table seafood dining experience that only BPBCS can offer.
It was hard to imagine Wwhat once started as a small branch along J.P. Laurel Avenue and between Davao Water District, and SM Lanang Premier has now continued to grow both inside Davao and out to the Metro Manila, sharing the flavors of Dabawenyo food to the rest of the Philippines.
It was also revealed that will soon open three more branches in Metro Manila namely in SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, O-Square Greenhills Shopping Center, and Seascape Manila. Bringing Blue Posts Boiling Crabs and Shrimp’s guaranteed fresh sea to table dishes to more Filipinos.
Congratulations Anthony and Jen on the creation of a new proudly Davao icon.
