GenSan’s twinbill diners: Grab A Crab and Coffee Club 101

Posted by bariles On April - 15 - 2009 - Visited 3569 times, 1 so far today



Fueled by a maverick owner, a new fine-casual dining restaurant in General Santos City pulsates and invigorates the budding urban sprawl’s day and night life.  Soulful sounds, soothing lighting and   sleek leather couches spell modern glam. This is not your typical fine-casual dining restaurant -welcome to Grab A Crab. (Click on each image for a larger view please.)

Leading the dining revolution in General Santos is Michael Wee.  Grab A Crab is his first restaurant business venture and so far, business has been doing very well. Having always dreamt of opening his own restaurant where he can chill-out with friends, Wee finally decided to push through with his culinary vision.

“Grab A Crab essentially represents my passion, love for classy lifestyle,” says 41-year old Michael who also owns a construction firm. “It’s a venue where young, progressive and responsible citizens can come together and dine and hang out,” he adds.

The place is a veritable melting pot as urban professionals and coffee aficionados all meld together in pursuit of good food and great times. Opening at 11 o’clock in the morning, loyal customers come in droves to fill up the dining area just in time for lunch. Dinner time is no exception either, as Grab A Crab will be at its peak operating capacity all through the wee hours of the morning, usually closing at 2 am.

“We are jam-packed on weekends! We offer  palatable  gourmet fare, all-time Filipino favorites and noodles,” enthuses Michael Wee. The restaurant also offers vegetables and rice, its ubiquitous crab dishes, grilled specialties and Chinese cuisine. Even after a hearty dinner, Grab A Crab gives one a reason to stay until the late evening.

Nearby is Coffee Club 101, a coffee shop which serves not only aromatic coffee but it offers  two computers and a mini- library where you can do your homework after a sumptuous lunch or dinner.

Other than their own coffee concoctions, Coffee Club 101 also offer smoothies, cold blends, sandwiches and pasta delights.   For the sweet tooth, there’s their pastries and home-baked cookies and mini-cakes.

Classy interiors, superb music, excellent service and great crowd aside, Grab A Crab’s real star is its delicious food.  Their menu is well thought of, thus offering dishes that are imaginative and scintillatingly mouth-watering. The creativity in the kitchen does not end with its fantastic set fare as new standards in cosmopolitan dining are also in store for the resto’s guests.

“Basically, it means that aside from the items offered in the menu, we can prepare whatever dish you crave for, as long as we have the ingredients in our kitchen,” explains Michael.

Grab A Crab bestsellers and specialties include, for appetizers, the Sliced Marinated Beef Kimchi and the Sharksfin Supreme Soup or the Fishlip and Sea Cucumber Soup.

Being the Tuna Capital, any visitor to the city should try the Grilled Tuna marinated in Grab A Crab special sauce.

Michael also suggests the Crab by the Bucket Big ( 4 pcs of 400 grams crab served with soup of the day and plain rice  for P850) where the crab  is de-boned and covered in breading infused with different spices to enhance the flavor.

Bariles Republic’s favorite however is the Grab A Crab Rice which is a complete meal in itself.

Other menu items that come highly recommended are the ever-present San Francisco ‘s Wharf  Spicy Salt and Pepper ( deep marinated in herbs and spices).

For diehard seafood lovers, the Pampano Sea Bass is highly recommended, along with the Sea Asparagus with 3 Kinds Mushroom.

Whew!  And that’s not even a fourth of their menu.  To all of that, Bariles Republic can only toast a glass of Grab A Crab’s Margarita and say, “CHEERS!”

    wow! nakakagutom! nice shots, sir vel. . . .

    Yeah, gensan is lucky enough to have a resto like Grab a Crab and a coffee shop like Coffee Club 101. A place where we can bring our families, friends and VIP guests. Almost all of our senior officials who have visited gensan had dined out there. . . with the same comments. . . cozy place, nice ambience . . .

    You should also try sir vel their minced meat with cruchy noodles wrapped in lettuce. . . it’s my favorite. . .aside from the capuccino and their heavenly blueberry cheesecake – - -

    I’ll e-mail your article to guests I have been there with. . .

    Hi Bariles,
    I was just wondering if it was okay to grab some of your pictures, so that I can feature it on my blog? My family is also from Gen San and I just wanted to share this with people here in the States.

    I’m so happy to see that Gen San is really expanding now. I can’t wait when I go home in December, and try out these two new restaurants.

    Thank you for the updates… Keep it up!

    galeng ng mga pics ter ha! and si ayo gunting pala ang writer nito… purrfect! anyway, i love coffee club 101 better. comfy seats, nice ambience, good service, clean toilets and free wifi connection! i always order their strawberry smoothies kaso di nga lang consistently na masarap… may mga times na heavenly talaga… and times na kala mo bumili ka ng sa-malamig crushed ice na strawberry flavor. i think michael wee should ensure the consistency of their products. heavenly naman ang baked lasagna nila. i agree, ito ang best seller nila. tama lang timpla… and the serving is just enough para di ka mandiri in the end.

    Nice shots sir Avel!!! I love the one with the strawberry shake… C.C. is one of my favorite tambayan and crashing place… Its nice there..Fellow Generals visit Cofee Club once in a while, the prices are reasonable especially in the restaurant. Its a nice place to talk with friends and have discussions with other people. IT has the best ambience in all coffee shops in Gensan. One good thing about this place though is that I can perform my routines to people here without any hesitation. Once you get in, its like home here. They got varieties of rare books there too. From cars to freemasonry, from houdini to plain old joke books. And based on my research Coffee club placed 2nd on the fastest internet connection. First would be fagioli but anyway, when you’re in Cofee Club you got fine drinks and fine dining in just one place. I just hope they would have taller tables though kasi nakakasakit minsan sa ulo kapag gumagamit ka ng laptop na nakayuko parati. Another thing – what most establishments here in Gensan lack is the courtesy of its staff. The crew of Coffee Club are very courteous in a sense you will definitely feel that you are being served with the best customer service ever. Drop by coffee club. Great Friends, Great Cofee all start there!

    Plus, you might get the chance to be amazed by me…CC is my official tambyan place here in Gensan just ask for the magic guy… Visit now!

    The crabs at grab a crab are really good. You can have it cookedin different ways whatever your preference are. But i still prefer the crab steamed with garlic, it retains its natural flavor.

    love ur photos….ganda sir ng camera mo!!! it made the place larger! i like coffee club’s pastries/desserts. esp the cheesecake & other sweets. but it’s too way priced. if they could lower their mark-up so that anybody can order a coffee plus dessert na hindi masakit sa bulsa!

    mike, have you tried arpoochi crabs in marbel? sobrang sarap. pero dapat one hour before ka pumunta i-order mo na. medyo expensive but talagang sulit. well until gasoline prices flew off the roof that is. south park tried doing their version it didn’t come close but they created their own mark… dahil masarap din naman.

    @jasper0127 – Tama talaga ang idea mo!!! Eat all you can… Compared to other fine dining restaurants here in Gensan Grab a Crab is cheaper… The restaurant closes most of the time at 10 p.m. and the Coffee Shop at 1 a.m.

    P.S. Mag tip naman kayo sa mga guards dun… hehehe…

    Hi Bariles, thanks for featuring Grab A Crab, as Michael Wee is a good friend and college classmate of mine. Just want to add info that most of the photos and food shots were taken by my partner, Rhonson Ng (http://rhonson.multiply.com).

    We did the pictorial shoot of Grab a Crab and Coffee Club 101 advertising for a day, but we stayed overnight in GenSan. I also featured it in Mabuhay Magazine with same photos. It’s my favorite place. :-)

    And since you are an avid General, as you call yourselves, it might cheer you to know I am featuring GenSan again in June issue of Mabuhay. :-)

    Thanks,
