Kabalen Delicacies Cuisine

I came here this morning with my Dad to enjoy some Filipino breakfast for $ 2.99 only! That’s a really good economy price especially that’s an all day price! When I walked in, they didn’t have much to offer especially, I guess it is 11am. They have a few silogs to choose from compared to other Filipino restaurants out there. I usually order bansilog or sisigsilog at other Filipino restaurants but at this place they were limited. I wanted to order the bansilog but when I was looking at their bangus, it did not look appealing for me to eat. Especially it looks like they still have scales on the fish. THey didn’t have sisigsilog so I just ordered the chickensilog. I waited about 10 minutes for my order since they still had to cook it. My dad just ordered the tapsilog (the usual). It looked like they only gave him two small pieces of tapa and a large portion of rice with 2 over easy eggs on the size with tomato. I thought it was kinda odd since the proportion doesn’t look right. Anyway, I still waited for my chickensilog since it looks like my Dad is almost done with his meal. The guy at the counter/​cook was nice enough to ask me what part of the chicken I want, if I want the breast or thigh. When it came to my food, I received the chicken first and the chicken looked like it came from KFC! And its only one chicken thigh. No wonder it was only $ 2.99! Then my 1 over easy egg came and tomato then my rice came which was a huge serving of it. The taste of the rice was hard it wasn’t soft rice like how I want my rice to be. But anyway, for a $ 2.99 meal this is what you pay for. Gotta be grateful right?
I think this place is being remodeled cause it doesn’t look like Kabalen anymore. Different ownership.
The reason why they deserve at least 3 stars because of their awesome customer service and friendliness! They tried to acommodate you the best way they can! Its just their food I wasn’t into it but hey a $ 2.99 meal in a horrible economy is what we need now a days! Right?

Their number is the 415 one not the 650 one. Just to let y’all know.

I had a craving for Filipino food so I searched my handy dandy Unilocal app and found this place to be closest to me at the time. Approaching this restaurant I was kind of skeptic. The front is kind of ran down looking, nevertheless, I find some of my favorite restaurants to be ‘hole in the wall” places.
While waiting for my order (chicken adobo and poncet) I was approached by a transient who was passing by. He asked if I could fee him. Although, I wasn’t to found of being bothered while reading my book and waiting for my food, my better instinct kicked in and I agreed to buy the man a meal to go and sodas for the road.
My adobo turned out pretty; just like as if you made it at home. No extra wow, but good enough for to fulfill your craving. The poncet was good as well, then again how could you go wrong with poncet?
All in all. it was a good meal but I’m not sure if I would go back due to the large amount of transient traffic and the fact that parking sits right in front of public transportation stops.

This place was ok. Just your average «turo-​turo» place. Food was good, place is clean and price very reasonable and right across muni stop… cool. I like the fact that it’s a «mom/​pop» place too. I always like to support those type of places.

We only come here for the Filipino breakfast staples — the Longsilog, Tapsilog, Tuyosilog, Bangsilog, etc. This is the Bay Area, but to those of you who are unfamiliar with Filipino Breakfasts, it’s a huge meal of your choice of marinated meat, sausage, or fish, with a heaping of fried garlic rice, two eggs, and diced tomatoes on the side. A true breakfast of champions, this is not for the faint of heart, or for those with heart murmurs.
The BBQ is award-​winning, too bad they don’t have it everyday, and the Sinigang (a sour, tamarind-​based soup) never disappoints.
There is a good variety of Kakanin, little Filipino treats which usually consist of some sort of sticky or sweet rice steamed in banana leaves (Suman) or ground-​up rice to make rice flour then steamed to make sweet, fluffy rice cakes (Puto). Most of this is made by the owner herself, just ask and she can tell you in great detail how she made each one.
It’s kind of hit or miss here so just tell them what you feel like and they can make recommendations on how to fill your belly tight like a drum. But then again, my roommates run this place so I might be a little biased.

They have good Long Silog for Breakfast which consists of Rice, eggs sunny side up, and Longaniza (Sausage) very similar to Mexican Chorizo. and a Royal Orange cola.
Have yet to try the rest of their menu.
So far real good.

Wandered into this place when I went wandering around Daly City on my day off in search of good Filipino food. (For me, as far as Filipino food goes… unless it’s obviously really bad, it is considered ‘good’.)
The restaurant was cute. It was still point-​to-​what-​you-​want (turo-​turo) but without the dinginess I’m used to & they had tables with tablecloths and designs under glass.
The ladies were very happy to explain what was in every dish… you usually don’t find that at Filipino restaurants! First she asked if I wanted pork or chicken… then I said I wanted the taro curry and her reaction was priceless. She was like «Ooh! You like taro!» and then proceeded to make sure it was alright that it had coconut milk. (Which, of course, it was.)
Portions are *slightly* smaller (but still by no means skimpy) than you might expect for turo-​turo and it’s also *slightly* more expensive meaning that it cost about $ 10 to stuff myself rather than $ 6. Still not bad.
