Located in Makati is a hidden gem called Abuela's. Owned by Vicky Tensuan and Marianne Lacson Campillo, this reastaurant serves dishes created by their grandmother which are then interpreted by the latter's husband, Chef Marco Legasto. The dishes are classic Filipino ones but with a Spanish twist. 

While waiting for the dishes, bread with butter was served, which I couldn't resist because I was really hungry at the time.

First up were the appetizers. While all of them tasted good, my favorite would have to be the chicken wings. You really can't go wrong with chicken wings, but what I love about their version of this dish is that they added chorizo for that Spanish-Filipino taste. I also liked the bone marrow dish because of the mango jam, which added a tangy sweet and sour taste as a contrast to the bone marrow.

Up next were the main dishes, which were inspired by classic dishes from different parts of the Philippines. Of course, Abuela's added their own twist to each dish. My favorite would have to be their version of bagnet. As an adopted Ilokana, I really love bagnet and Abuela's served the one of the best ones I've ever tasted. Another favorite would have to be their pinangat, which is a dish hailed from the Bicol region.

No meal is ever complete without dessert and Abuela's served delicious cakes. Among the two, I liked the second one better because of its sweet taste with the slightest hint of green tea.
