What Happened to Cabalen?

No, I'm not saying it's bad, but it was certainly tons better before. For nearly 300 pesos per pax for a buffet lunch or dinner, it was a favorite buffet destination whenever I entertain "balikbayans".

We always go to either the one in Glorietta or the branch at Market, Market. Each time I went, the buffet spread kept getting less and less. Even the desserts section seems depleted and begging for replenishment each time I got up to have my fill.

There was always an abundance of marshmallows (which you dip on chocolate) and kakanin, but I felt like I'm being discouraged to have my favorite halo halo :-(

As for the viands, it's a vegetarian's feast (the cheap veggie dishes) but the grilled tilapia don't taste fresh.

There's lechon but the refills are few and far between. And if you order the famous Kapampangan sisig, please remember that they come in small portions. I do recommend the Kare Kare. As for the sinigang or bulalo, do mind the tiny bone bits. You don't wish to choke on those!

It would STILL be good value for less than 300 pesos. Especially if you don't care much for meat dishes. But I do hope they serve fresh fish and that there's always available ice shavings and ready fruits in syrup fit my halo halo!
