Abaseria

Most people dine out to eat delicious food and taste dishes

which are unfamiliar to them. Some people go to restaurants

because of the ambiance of the place.

A lot of restaurants have their own way of creating ambiance

which would fit the kind of cuisine they serve. There are a few

restaurants who manage to create an ambiance which stands out

among others.

Service was very good and we were immediately entertained by the

waitress as soon as we entered the restaurant. Even though the place

was almost full they still managed to get our order and serve it

quickly. Most of the dishes found on their menu are named differently

but are most likely found on other filipino restaurants such as Chikaan

or Golden Cowrie. Prices are a bit more expensive compared to the

mentioned restaurant and serving sizes are a bit smaller.

Menu:

We sampled a few of their best sellers one evening last year: Ginataang

Mongos or Mongo Soup with Gata (Php145.00), Baked Ginger Ribs

(Php245.00), Humba (Php205.00) and Adobong Bangus Belly (Php290.00)

and Abaseria Fried Rice (Php150.00).

The Adobong Bangus Belly and the Mongo Soup and were my favorites in this bunch. The latter is so creamy and rich in flavor that it made me appreciate the otherwise lowly soup served in most roadside eateries.

For dessert, we ordered the Homemade Chocolate Cake (Php60.00),

 the Sylvana (Php26.00) and the Mango Float (Php50.00). They also serve

Chocó Durian Special, which is a dark chocolate cake with fresh durian slices.

This strange combination could spell either dessert nirvana or just plain madness.
