Abaseria actually takes its name from the Spanish word “abaceria” which means grocery store. Interestingly enough, most of the things displayed (if not all) inside the restaurant are up for sale. Yes, even the decors are for sale too!

Some of the many things that you can buy from Abaseria are food items like preserved goods, local delicacies…

And even fresh fruits.

They also have an array of local crafts that you can choose from. Such as home decors, baskets, bags…

and fun fashion accessories.

By the way, Abaseria also provides on-premises catering service for intimate parties such as anniversaries, birthdays and the like.

Here’s a teaser of some of their most popular dishes…

Manggang Hilaw (green mangoes) with uyap (bagoong)
The uyap was sooo good!

Smoked Fish with Itlog Maalat (salted egg)
I miss this already! I didn’t know how much I like smoked fish until I had this. I ate most of the salted eggs by the way. Guilty as charged.

Fried Chicken
The chicken wasn’t moist (I’m sure you can tell just by looking at the photo) – flavorwise it was alright.

image

Steamed vegetables with Special Dip
Didn’t get to try these. My boyfriend devoured them all before I had the chance.

image

Lechon Kawali
My boyfriend kept filling up his plate with these bad boys. I had to stop him at some point.

image

Adobong Bangus Belly
The fish was fresh, tender and delicious. Certified crowd-pleaser. 

image

Sabaw na Monggos (Mung Bean Soup)
This one got us all excited. Monggos is one of my personal faves. Although I like my soups thick, this one did not disappoint. I refilled my bowl too many times to count.

Happy and full. Thanks Jude for the wonderful treat!
