abe

At first, we were a bit hesistant to dine at Abe, for we thought this is a fine dining restaurant, which means equals to pricey food but then maybe we were impressed with the image they possessed.  From outside of the restaurant, you could feel the prestige the restaurant delivers, tables with neatly lined utensils on top with a remarkable white linens, the furnitures used were on classy style, astonishing interiors,  the paintings displayed, and the plants on every corner.  But once you enter the restaurant, such a homey scent.  Seems like we were transported in a time warp to early 80’s?  If you will be dining as a group, reservation helps, for this has been a favorite resto for Filipino dish and it will be hard on your end to waste the time to wait.  Since, we have reserved an hour before dinner we were lucky to still get in, just in time for dinner.  Their staffs were attentive, and quickly guide us to a seat designated for us.  We were informed as to what are their bestsellers and they even gave a suggestion that will suits our taste pallette.

green mango & bagoong salad

For appetizer we had, Green Mango and Bagoong Salad.  It was the typical green mango taste i think they used the Pico breed of mango here for it was not too sour which is advantageous for us hungry crowd, bagoong or shrimp paste were sweet and cooked just right.  It was price at P95.00 per serving.

sinigang of bangus belly with ripe guava

Sinigang of bangus belly with ripe guava.  If you’re craving for a different kind of sinigang this one’s for you, but if you’re not that adventurous to try a different recipe for the all-time favorite sinigang soup, Think again! This sinigang taste more like guava than sinigang itself and has a thick consistency which is a bit weird to the crowd’s taste for it seems not good to pair it with rice.    With a limited number of Bangus (milkfish), but with crunchy kangkong at the price of P395.00.

pastel de lengua

Pastel de Lengua, now this one was delectable!  The ox tongue was sliced into chunks, were really soft and creamy, taste just right!  While the pastel itself is a bit chewy and crunchy at P330.00 per serving.  Serves 3-4 persons already.

Spicy sisig pampanga, since this was expected to be oily alright but I can’t seem to control myself to chow down this dish.  It seems taste more like pork itself than the true content of a sisig.  At P175.00 per serving.

Crispy pork adobo ni lola ising, we were astonished as to how small the serving was at the price of  P385.00.  Once tasted,  you’ll surely know the answer.  It was perfect among adobo i’ve tasted.  It was really crispy and the adobo sauce on the sides were perfect! Not that salty nor sweet but, sadly it is oily.

regular ice tea

Regular ice tea,  iced tea combined with orange juice.  Refreshing!   The supervisor offered us their special iced tea,  which was iced tea with lemon grass combined with muscovado syrup.  I give up instantly when he gave us a free taste of such drink it was too sweet for my taste.
