ABE Restaurant @MOA


My officemates and I went to Abe in MOA last November. Abe is one of those fancy-looking restaurants facing Manila Bay. We go to MOA everyday but we rarely go to that area since restaurants there are, well, fancy.

We ordered:

Calamares in su Tinta (Php250)

This dish has a very funny side story. Earlier that week, I craved for adobong pusit. For that week alone, I managed to eat adobong pusit three times, in different varieties. I think my officemates ordered this to make fun of me, or maybe they're doing me a favor because they thought my craving can't be satiated. The squid was cooked with the ink, which turned everything black, including my officemates' lips, teeth and tongue. Then I started making fun of them so we're quits. :D

Bicol Express (Php265)

This, I ordered by mistake because I was thinking of the meaty Luzon-version bicol express. That's what you get for not reading the menu carefully. It wasn't that bad really, tastes like the bicol express I'm used to minus the meat. But I did miss the meat. I just didn't know that that's what authentic Bicol Express is. Good thing we ordered this next one... 

Knockout Knuckle (Php595)

This is their take of the famous cardiac-delight crispy pata. It was very tasty and crispy, the way crispy pata should be.

I'm pretty sure we also ordered Sinigang na Bangus Belly with Ripe Guava (Php399) but i don't know why I failed to take a picture of it.

As for my good friend R, she went there with her boyfriend E and her family that same week (meet the parents? yikeeeee). She said it was her first time to eat at their MOA branch. I can't quite remember if she said anything else except for that ridiculously priced house iced tea she and her BF ordered without checking first how much it was. Good thing my officemates and I chose house water. Hehe. Lesson learned: Water is better, healthier, and cheaper, than iced tea. :)
