Drinks in the likes of pitchers of lemonade, iced tea, or even shakes in different flavours are available to quench your thirst. They also accept bulk orders of spaghetti, pancit, or palabok for your next get-together. They also serve tray bundles that can be customised, serving up to 8-15 people. Kanyugan also recently came out with a burger and fries meal called "Burger Mania" that is definitely a must-try.
The restaurant also has a bar with hired singers to help you chill with tunes, while you grab a drink and hang with your friends on a Friday night out. They serve a wide assortment of drinks that you might want to taste.
Kanyugan Restaurant started when the owners of Panimalai went out for a jog and found an area nice enough to start a new branch. Thus, Kanyugan Restaurant, a name which derives from the word "kaniyugan" that means an abundance of coconut trees, was born. This is the third branch of Panimalai in Aklan.
None of the coconut trees around the area were taken down, as the buildings were built around them. The restaurant alo has various huts or "kubo" that are all named after the parts of a coconut tree, namely: Pak-eang, Li-asy, Butay, Sikap, Bukoe, Niyog and two pergulas, Pergula 1 and Pergula Rose.
Kanyugan Restaurant is open to serve customers from 8 AM to 9 PM and is located at Sitio Malabon, Ibajay, Aklan.
