ABASERIA

Just goes to show that I haven't really been out in Cebu much. I've heard of Abaseria many times but haven't tried it. But thanks to our gracious hosts Cary Santiago and Jude Bacalso, I finally had the chance to go. Ang sarap lang. Can't believe I've missed out for this long. Its home cooked food in a tourist showcase ambience. Very comfy and homey.

Ay, di ko nausog yung monobloc. Ahihi.

Utensils for giants. What is the history of wooden spoons? Remember it used to be so "uso" to have a giant spoon and fork on the walls na naka eks? Whhyyy?

Chalk board menu.

With a ceiling made of seeds.

And the pasalubong showcase, where everything in the shelves were for sale.

For starters, we had the Kamote thins and dilis/pusit crisps. Yum.

And a Cebuano specialty, a rice called "Mais", which is more compact, similar in texture to couscous.

What's Cebu without danggit?

Loved this dish, humba Cebuano style.

And their specialty: bangus belly

YUMBURGERS to the nth! Thanks Car and Jud!

CARY SANTIAGO'S NEW MUSE

Guess who's wearing Cary? And mamatay na sa inggit, she's a freaking size zero.

I'm guessing those joints are a dead give away. look closely and those are hand pleated micro folds. Laser cut in filigree design. Kill me now.

It's Barbie!!! Wearing Cary Santiago couture!! She doesn't even have to work to earn a living and she gets to wear Cary?! Grrr.

Emote moment. Girl, Ken is gay. Please.

The micro detailing is fantastic!

Layered fan detail icing dress.

I bet every engaged girl wants to be her right now. Me, I want the 5 karat engagement ring first. Etchos.


Para sa Ninang na Madame, diba Car?

@.@ < swirly eyed from all that intricateness. Effort!

And they all lived happily ever after.


Cary Santiago Barbies will be auctioned off at the CCP. Watch this space for further details.
