Good Filipino food

4

I first got to try Abe because of an office team dinner. We were looking for a Filipino restaurant to bring our Singaporean guests to so we chose Abe.

First of all, if you want to make sure you'll have a table it's very important to RESERVE. Seriously, I don't think this restaurant runs out of customers during peak hours.

In terms of ambiance I'd have to agree with a lot of the other reviews that the restaurant doesn't have very good acoustics. It can get pretty noisy when there's a lot of people and the acoustics of the resto make it worse. Their function room also seems like dead zone for mobile phones.

Service isn't consistent but overall my experience has been pretty good. Their servers are really friendly and serving time is actually excellent.

Time for the food discussion.

Spicy Sisig Pampanga - Nothing extraordinary. You can find other cheaper places that serve better. And it wasn't spicy at all, actually.
Kinilaw na Tanigue - Pretty good. But I don't think you can really go wrong with kinilaw that much.
Betute - Now, if you're feeling a bit adventurous this is something you should try. It's stuffed frog and they really serve it as a whole frog without the head so some people might be turned off. But I really liked it. It's not "malansa" but was a bit oily, but still very good.


Sinigang na Bangus Belly with Ripe Guava - One of my favorite dishes in Abe. Not for everyone because the guava makes the soup sweet.
Mutton Adobo with Popped Garlic - It was good, but not a favorite. It was too oily for my taste.
Humba - So-so. Nothing special. You can get better from a turo-turo canteen.
Binukadkad na Pla Pla - Very interesting presentation. Well cooked and was not "malansa". It's nothing special, actually, it's pretty much just fried fish presented very well.
Gising gising - My second favorite dish in Abe. It's a really simple dish, but, man, does it taste so good. Not really spicy, though, but maybe you can ask for more chili if you want it to be really spicy.
Biringhe Agustin Goy - I loved this. It was the first time I tried biringhe so I don't have anything else to compare it to. It tastes like savory suman.
Crispy Tadyang - Good, but nothing special.
Pastel de Lengua - I love lengua and this dish is pretty good, but, again, nothing special.

Sikreto ni Maria - A dessert you should try. It was a hit during our team dinner. It's actually just suman, mangoes, vanilla ice cream, drenched in coconut milk. Love it.
