A Quick Bite in Cabalen Restaurant at Sm City Pampanga

I was on a quick visit in Pampanga since my flight from Caticlan/Boracay is landing at Clark Airport. I messaged my friend Joshua who's living in Lubao, an hour from San Fernando, to meet me up in Sm City to have lunch before heading to Manila.

A day before my flight, I called the restaurant to make a reservation since Cabalen is a pocket-friendly buffet at 298+ in the area. Sometimes they get full, and other customers need to wait to be seated. 

While waiting for my friend to arrive, I decided to roam around to check the location of Cabalen inside the mall. I got lost because the Mall is quite big. The location of the restaurant is located in the back part.

When Josh arrived, we headed right away to Cabalen because when 12nn or before, the restaurant will get full as I experienced in the other branch. 

Upon arrival, I asked the receptionist about my reservation. After confirming my name, she assisted us at our reserved table. Josh and I got our plate and were able to choose from the different menu for the day. Of course, I am coming back to Cabalen all over again because their Kare-Kare is one of the favorite dishes and fried Kang-Kong.

The staff is well-trained in guest relations and very attentive to their customer needs. They make sure that everything is okay. One thing I noticed the cleanliness of the buffet table is well-maintained. 

After the 2-round, I already felt that I was full. I went to the dessert station to get a glass of Halo-Halo (I hope they will change to a bigger glass for Halo-Halo) and seasonal fruits. 

I left the place with a smile because first, I was full and satisfied with their service and the quality of the food being served.
