Cooking Methods

At Pinoy Tambayan, we use various cooking methods to prepare our seafood platter, including grilling, steaming, and frying. Grilling is a popular method for cooking seafood like shrimp and fish, as it helps to retain their flavor and texture. We also steam mussels and clams to cook them evenly and prevent them from becoming tough. For fried seafood, we use a light batter to avoid overpowering the natural flavor of the seafood.

Some of our dishes, like sisig, are usually made with pork elsewhere, but at Pinoy Tambayan, we use chicken or beef instead, as we do not serve pork. This substitution allows us to offer a similar flavor profile without using pork. Our chefs are skilled at preparing a variety of seafood dishes, and you can find many options on our menu.

According to the UAE government portal, it is essential to handle and cook seafood safely to avoid foodborne illnesses. We take food safety seriously and follow proper handling and cooking procedures to ensure that our seafood platter is safe to eat. Our chefs are trained to cook seafood to the right temperature, and we use fresh ingredients to minimize the risk of contamination.
