I have been a loyal patron of Cabalen Sweets Restaurant for many years and my admiration for this restaurant has only grown over time. Cabalen is renowned for its authentic Kapangpangan cuisine, using high quality ingredients in every dish, exceptional home-cooked flavours that have become a hallmark of their menu. My most favourite dish is their Tagalog Bistek, Pancit Palabok, Fried Lumpia complete with a very delicious especial vinegar dipping sauce.

I know Cabalen Sweets Restaurant and Catering for many years ago. Just closed by to my address, i used to order to Flor (owner) everytime i crave for something different like Pinoy real taste of food. I find her food really cook fresh while you are waiting, clean presentation and no doubt pricing is just fair. My favorite food to order in Cabalen of course are fried Bangus( freshly cooked) and Pompano. I couldn't forget her freshly fried vegetable lumpia with spicy vinegar dipping sauce and mouthwatering Pilipino sinigang. I tried her Salo salo food tray which is almost like boodle fight twice , oh it tasted so good and budget friendly. You guys, try it that you wont fail to remember once in your life.

Last Saturday, I was blessed to partake of a "Salu Salo" tray from Cabalen. I highly recommend this feast. It had a little of everything - BBQ meats, fish, shrimps, longganisa (sweet sausage), tortang talong (eggplant omelet), green manggo salad, salted eggs, rice, turon, and complimentary coke. So yummy, well- cooked, prepared, and would feed more people than intended. Great value! Thank you

What a treat! If you're craving home cooked Filipino food, go to this place and you will not be disappointed. I'd been ordering from this place for 6 years now. They've been very consistent in providing good food and good service with a decent price to boot! My all time faves are pansit bihon, egg rolls, empanada, chicken relleno, palabok, fresh lumpia and ube for dessert.

I just ordered, from here the other day. My total was 30 dollars for a small cup of beef steak, 3 pieces pork barbecue and medium sinigang. Hmmmmm well ok then. The sinigang was ok, but I've had better at joyce station. The beef steak was sooo salty , so was the barbecue. Nahh I'll stick to joyce for authentic Filipino food the price is accurate with the taste.

I can only review the Halo Halo which I give a 5 stars to! Tasty fixings and shaved ice all come together for a delicious dessert. It is always an exciting time when this seasonal treat returns. Much better value compared to Max's. You will not be disappointed!
