Ababu Persian Kitchen / Middle Eastern Food in Manila
Where I’m from, in San Diego, California, you usually go for some Mexican food when you need to feed an insatiable hunger. It’s also the best cure for hangovers and for late night after-party tummy growls. But here in Manila Philippines, you never go wrong with some Persian food!

Time Out Muna ang Turista
Malapit na akong ma-overdue bilang isang turista sa bansang Singapore. Dalawa lang ang pwedeng mangyari sa akin: 1. Palayasin ako ng immigration dito (Matapos akong i-cane. Que Horor!) or 2. Yakapin ako ng bansang ito at gawin akong “one of them.”
Kung anu’t ano man, nais kong gamitin ang oras na ito upang pagmuni-munihan ang mga bagay bagay na napansin ko sa tatlong linggong pamamalagi ko rito.
Halos nagre-rave ang mga taong nakausap ko tungkol sa bansang ito. Kesyo maganda raw, malinis at mapayapa. And true enough, ganoon nga siya. Bagaman, mukhang masyado yatang na-build-up ng mga manghang manghang mga taong iyon ang imahe ng bansang ito. Naging sobrang taas tuloy ng expectation ko.
To be honest about it, this place did not blow me away, contrary to what I expected. At gaya nga ng nabanggit ko, ina-attribute ko ito sa exag na description ng mga taong nagprovide sa akin ng vicarious sneak preview sa unang bansang napuntahan ko bukod sa Pinas.
Sa tuwing nakikita kong may kalat sa paligid, di ko mapigilang ihirit na, “akala ko ba walang kalat sa Singapore?” Siguro nga imposible naman talaga ang bansang zero litter. Mayroon siguradong pasaway na magtatapon ng used tissue paper, empty juice tetrapack at kung ano pang papel sa labas ng basurahan.
Sa mga nakaka-chat o text ko mula sa Pinas, madalas kong matanggap ang tanong na, “Maganda ba talaga diyan?” kung saan ang kaya ko lang isagot ay isang nonchalant na, “OK lang.”
