Tucked in a norrow st. in Sct. Rallos, Quezon City, Alab by Chef Tatung has since made a monstrous traffic jam in the area. You would notice a long line being waitlisted every Lunch and Dinner in front of the establishment. Curiosity made my husband and I join the queue and we will never regret we did.
You can see the interiors of the restaurant even if you’re just outside, thanks to the full glass frontage. Simple yet cozy pieces of furniture gave us the homey feeling, giving you the notion of home-cooked meals.

Soon as we were seated, we quickly scanned the Menu as we were starving, unfortunately, we were informed that two of the choices we made would take 45mins to cook due to preparation of the sauce. Whew, those better be good food for it to be worth the wait. We said fine, we’ll wait.
The food came in right on time and we were bombed by the smell, savoury and inviting. These are some of their most reveled dishes:

Pianggang P270
This is Alab’s version of grilled chicken, there’s nothing plain to this since it is smothered with reduced coconut milk made tastier with a special Tausug spice, which has a hint of Lemongrass and Coriander.

Sugpo sa Palapa P560
I love prawn and this what I have been raving about since the time I ate at the restaurant. Grilled Tiger Prawn in palapa made tasty with Aligue and a Maranao spice mixed with a local shallot.

Somewhat like Bicol’s Pinangat but this one is made with coconut threads covered in Gabi leaves with Coconut milk mixed with bagoong alamang poured on top.

Now, one wouldn’t imagine eating these without rice, we initially ordered 2 cups but got another 2 later on, Diet gone once again.
There are some more lovely dishes which have not tried since my husband does not eat pork anymore, others have noted their Crispy Pata and Lechon belly.

Since were full to the brim, we only have room for 1 dessert which we had a hard time deciding since all of their dessert looks yummy.
They have Suman sa latik and Quezo de Bola Bibingka which both are calling my attention but we settled for Tsokonut Cake P110

Seating Capacity of the entire Two-storey restaurant is 200pax, they also have an Alfresco dining area on the 2nd floor which can sit a dozen.
This art piece caught my attention, very witty. Spoons and Forks stuck in a wooden piece.

We would definitely come back to taste more of their dishes and try their other desserts very soon.
Parking might be a problem though, since the place is always full and I mentioned earlier that they’re located in a narrow street. You have an option to park further since yoou would be needing the walk after your meal.
