i need to treat a family of balikbayans this weekend at gusto daw nila kainan sa dampa. medyo malayo ang macapagal kaya dun ko balak dalhin sa dampa sa ortigas (operational pa ba ito?)...
alam ko naman puntahan metrowalk and malapit lang daw ito dun, pero di ko alam exact location ng dampa ortigas... saan ba ang eksaktong daan papunta at papasok sa compound nito?
dun sa mga nakapunta na, advise na din sa parking at recommended restos na masarap magluto?
I am assuming you mean the Dampa at Libis. If not, just ignore this reply.
From Metrowalk turn right on Meralco Avenue.
Turn right on Ortigas Avenue
Go straight till you hit C-5 (Rodriguez Avenue) at which point you turn left.
Go straight but stay on the rightmost lane. Dampa Libis will be on the right side. It is just right before the old Olympic badminton courts. Jollibee at the corner of Greenmeadows Ave/C5 is just across. Actually Dampa is before Jollibee. So when you see Jollibee on the left, better slow down as the next available U-turn (actually the only one) is much, much further down the road.
There is a lot of available parking at the Dampa grounds. For buying, I normally buy from my kababayans (Cagayanos) whose stalls are on the left front side when you are facing the market. For cooking, I normally go with Emperor, although from what I have been told, all the restaurants are now owned by the same group.
Take note, if you order inihaw na isda, it tends to take much longer than the rest. As for the soup, we usually order 1 kilo of ulo ng maya maya (for four guys), have it cooked miso and split into two bowls instead of just one. Otherwise we never get to finish it, given the other stuff we order.
Hope this helps.

that's the ortigas home depot compound. The 1st building is the home depot, the dampa is at the back of the 2nd building. Any entrance towards home depot will allow you access towards the 2nd building already. Whether you come in from Julio Vargas, or from Ortigas via the car exchange access.
