Cabalen Buffet Dinner

We love to eat out. It’s our way of  family bonding.  Likewise, it gives me the chance to break out from the monotonous daily chores of cooking.   Buffet dining is almost always the top choice when my family eats out coz we get to savour a variety of dishes.

Thus, when I saw Cabalen’s attractive promo in MetroDeal, I grabbed one without delay. I must say, MetroDeal has really improved its system somehow. Pretty convinced with the hassle free transaction this time around.  ..Well, back to Cabalen...  we have tried the Cabalen in Glorietta and their West Avenue branch years back when we brought out to dinner a Balikbayan relative who was yearning for Traditional Filipino Cuisine and next when we attended a baptismal occasion.  Now, MetroDeal gave us the opportunity to experience Cabalen’s Buffet Dining in Trinoma for our family Fridate.

My family were in Cabalen at exactly 7pm last Friday. The Restaurant was then almost full except for few vacant tables.  Glad that with this promo deal they require earlier reservations. Therefore,  no hassle of  queueing for us to be seated.  An array of various dishes was on display at the buffet counter.  You’d be confused which to get first.   Three hot pots of soup lined up the counter;  Bulalo, Tinolang Manok and was it Guinisang Mongo?. Not sure.  I only sampled Bulalo. I liked it because it’s really hot.  Then I came back for the main meal.  Although there were Dinuguan, Adobo, grilled liempo and Lechon or Roast Pig as among the many dishes offered at the buffet counter, my choices were limited coz I don’t eat pork.  I just indulged on the grilled seafood like squid, boneless bangus, catfish and  grilled chicken as well.  Thankful  that there’s seafood Kare-kare, Guinataan and Bringhe.  For dessert, they have Maja blanca, leche flan, marshmallow,  fruits,  chocolate fondue and other sweets which  I didn’t had the chance to taste coz they quickly disappeared from serving trays and I didn’t bother to wait for the serving plates to be refilled.  Anyway, I was so full to toss down a bit more of dessert.  There’s no doubt, DH and the big kiddos feasted much on  roast pig.  Ahh..  who cares about cholesterol! Lol

Twas another satisfying dinner out for the family. One real good family Fridate!  Haven’t reached home yet but already heard “where’s next?”
