Aboy’s Restaurant in Goldenfields, Bacolod
We were at Aboy’s Restaurant recently. Considered as one of Bacolod City’s top native restaurants because of its fastfood-style service and tasty cooking, they’re located in GoldenFields Commercial Complex near the old domestic airport.
Aboy’s interiors have a unique homey appeal. Unlike most fastfood restaurants, the furnishings are wooden and not of PVC/steel material, the ceilings provide interesting lighting and the columns are accented with stone finish.
To order for food, you have two options. If you’re really starving, they have about ten or more already cooked dishes lined up at the counter, you just tell the staff your choices and they will scoop it on a plate and deliver to your table. Fast, huh? Native dishes such as kaldereta, laing, chicken liver and gizzard adobo, crab omelet and other fish and noodle dishes are displayed. Having the cooked dishes lining up in front of me surely looked more tempting than seeing them on the menu. There’s the tendency to want to order all of them. LOL.
If you’re not that hungry yet, the other option for ordering is by choosing from their glass counter, where you can see marinated yummy goodies – pork belly, pork cuts, chicken, whole fish (such as Lapu-lapu), or fish slices (e.g. Blue Marlin) and other seafood (e.g. squid) being displayed. You just tell the staff your choices and they’ll have it grilled for you. Actually, this option is still fast when compared to other restaurants serving grilled food. We were surprised to have our grilled Blue Marlin and squid delivered to our table in just few minutes.
Grilled Blue Marlin… yummy!
This is their Caldereta. It may look weird in this pic but it is also yummy plus the meat is tender.
Grilled Squid is cheap at only Php50 for two medium-sized squids on a stick. They serve it in bite-size pieces. It’s grilled nicely (not chewy as some squids taste when over-grilled), but the taste is so-so.
A small garden pool by the stairs.
That’s the airconditioned room where you order the food. We preferred to be seated in their much larger main dining area as shown below.
Look at the many customers, mostly in groups e.g. families. Nope, this is not Christmas. It was V-day when we went to Aboy’s.
