JAMS Resto Bar
One of the stops we made in GenSan was at JAMS Resto Bar. Located at Nuñez St., Purok Malakas, JAMS is the place to go if you want to sample tuna in different delectable dishes. Name it and you can be sure that they have it!
Our group feasted on Tuna Kinilaw, Tuna Bagaybay, Grilled Tuna Belly, Sauteed Tuna Innards, Sizzling Tuna Tendons, Tuna Kilawin, Tuna Kebab, and Deep Fried Tuna Buntot with Tuna Chicharon.
