TNTS Boodle Fight and Seafood House History

TNTS Boodle Fight and Seafood House, to give it its full name, is a popular restaurant located in Tagbilaran City, Bohol, in the Philippines. It offers a unique dining experience known as a “Boodle Fight,” which is a traditional Filipino feast where food is served on banana leaves and eaten with bare hands (in our case wearing plastic gloves). The restaurant specializes in serving delicious seafood and other Filipino dishes piled high, and long.

The name TNTS stands for “Too Nice to Slice Cake,” and although this establishment originally served as a bakery and cake shop, it is now known for its Boodle Fight Menu, which features a variety of dishes that can feed up to 10 or more people for such a reasonable price (as you’ll see above). Those who engage in a Boodle Fight frequently eat with their hands and take pleasure in the delightful companionship of friends and family while sharing a meal together. We sure did. It really was a fun dinner, despite the fighting.

In a relaxed environment, this no-frills eatery in Tagbilaran City serves Filipino meals A La Carte, as well as the renowned Boodle Fight. It is situated at the intersection of VP Inting Avenue and Dauis Junction. However, it was eerily silent and we were the only guests at the time. Luckily I had my little JBL speaker and whacked some toonz on to give a little more ambiance. Filipino 70’s Disco. You know it felt so ‘right’.

The restaurant provides options for both dine-in and takeout orders, and it has received positive reviews from visitors, with an average rating of 4 out of 5 on platforms like Tripadvisor. I would concur and say that was well-deserved, and just.

“People Also Ask” section about TNTS Boodle Fight

What is a Boodle Fight and how do you prepare for it?

A Boodle Fight is a traditional military practice in the Philippines where a meal is enjoyed with bare hands, without the use of cutlery or dishes. The food is placed on a table lined with banana leaves, and participants stand shoulder to shoulder on both sides of the table, partaking of the available dishes. To prepare for a Boodle Fight, you can invite big eaters who are willing to eat with their hands. Some essential foods to include are plain rice or flavored rice, grilled fish, fried tilapia, adobo chicken or squid, salted eggs, pinakbet (a mix of stir-fried vegetables), mangoes, pineapples, blanched vegetables, buttered shrimp, and various sauces and condiments.

What are the rules for a Boodle Fight?

In a Boodle Fight, there are no strict rules regarding the dishes that can be served. However, it is common to have rice at the center of the table, with grilled meat, fish, or seafood placed on top or on the sides of the rice. Participants must use their bare hands to eat, and the meal is more of a friendly sharing experience rather than a competitive fight for food. It’s important to have provisions for handwashing, such as a nearby jug of water, and to provide small bowls for sauces, dips, and spices. Toilet breaks are not allowed during the Boodle Fight, so it’s recommended to visit the restroom and wash hands before starting.

Kamayan is a Filipino term that means “eating with the hands.” It refers to the traditional method of eating using bare hands, which is also practiced during a Boodle Fight. The term “Kamayan” is often used interchangeably with “Boodle Fight” when referring to the communal feast where food is served on banana leaves and enjoyed without utensils. The practice of Kamayan is pre-colonial and has historical roots in Filipino culture.
