Went here once in the morning but that was mid-week so the place does not seem too busy. We were actually the only customers in the area during the visit. The lady behind the counter gave us the menu and was very friendly towards us. We didn’t know what to order so we asked the lady what’s their best seller for the breakfast meals. She suggested the Tapa with rice and egg. And then, we ordered brewed coffee for my companion and a Belgian chocolate drink for me. We also decided to get a slice of Sansrival cake as a dessert which we requested to be served after our rice meals.The place is very humble and homey. It’s not much of the typical Instagram-worthy place, but Titas of Manila will definitely like this place. Situated along Sumulong H-way, it doesn’t actually bother me that we’re on the roadside. By the way, this place has a parking lot, good points for those who will be bringing their cars. I think around 5 to 6 cars could fit in it.The kitchen of this restaurant is cool, I mean, they’re confident enough to use a mirror instead of an opaque wall. You can see the cook preparing the food from the distance. Not every restaurant is confident enough to do that. 🙂 The lady at the counter even waved at the cook when we asked if the guy behind the glass wall was the one who prepares the food. So our drinks were finally served. The brewed coffee is strong enough. I am not a fan of brewed coffee because I have very low tolerance for caffeine, so let’s talk about the Belgian chocolate drink instead.Tastes like Swiss Miss, but this one has real chocolate on top of it. I am biased for I love chocolate drinks, whether hot or cold, so I’ll say I loved their chocolate drink. :)Next, the Tapa meal was served. I love how the Tapa does not seem dry! Most of the Tapas I’ve eaten were mostly dry and hard to chew, but Casa Abuela’s Tapa is not like that. They served it with regular rice but it didn’t really bother me that it is not served with garlic rice or such. I liked that the taste of Tapa dominated the whole meal. Lastly, I’ll never forget their pickled cucumber, which acted as an atsara for the Tapa. I fell in love with it! Pardon me for being so in love with the pickled cucumber but that was my first time tasting one. It complimented their Tapa well! :)And the Sansrival cake. It wasn’t too sweet, just tastes right. It has plenty of nuts above it. Hihi. Its icing is creamy and not bland despite the lessened sugary taste.
Tried Casa Abuela for the first time. They have somewhat standard selection for breakfast (Silogs and pancake) that comes with a choice of unlimited coffee or rice. We had daing na bangus and ala cubana – best seller (wanted to have beef tapa which is one of their best sellers but it was not available). The breakfast tasted good and great value for its price but what we loved more are their desserts – sans rival and brazo de mercedes! We enjoyed the over all rustic, homey feel of the place and taste of the food. You can hear the din of vehicles passing because it is beside the highway but after a while you tune out especially when you’re entrenched in good conversation. Will definitely go back for their main dishes and probably try their lunch or dinner buffet.
Cozy, a hole in the wall place. We ordered callos and roast beef. The meat was tough and the side vegetable was bit salty. Callos is just okay but nothing expectacular. We got free dessert of sansrival and brazo. Dessert was okay, not too sweet though was never a fan of sansrival.We had a take out of cream puffs. It was good, custard was creamy and crust was neither soft nor hard.
Since yesterday was a free day and I got nothing planned, I and Raina went for a tour of lower Rizal and this was our last stop. On this visit, we took the liberty of taking photos and met the owner of the cafe in the process. Casa Abuela is well known in Rizal as the ultimate destination for desserts, cakes, and pastries in particular. They do serve savory meals as well, more on Filipino, Spanish and American offerings. I found much delight munching on their mini Mocha Meringues as we waited for their cakes. It melts in your mouth in seconds! Their Ensaymada also left a strong impression, soft bread topped with loads of cheddar cheese. The Cream Puffs, they were well-made. It introduced a crisp bite at the start and then an oozing feeling of rich cream follows. Brazo de Mercedes wasn’t as sweet, which was a big plus. The Sans Rival, on the other hand, was buttery with a touch of salt. They were more than decent bites. If ever you are visiting Rizal, now you have a place for sweets. The service here makes them, even more, an attractive destination. alwayshungry.ph
This is one of my favorite breakfast/lunch places while I wait for my kids’ dismissal time. I love their Pork Tocino for breakfast and their Slow Cooked Roast Beef for lunch. Expect to shell out about Php 150-250 per meal! momonduty.com
i love the ambience and its cleanliness. the staff and the owner are very accomodating. my fave here are sans rival, brazo del cielo, seafood pasta. quite pricey on their main course and pasta but affordable on their pastries and cakes. highly recommended.
