A kitchen at the front of the house, open all day.

Our in-house kitchen has been feeding guests here since 2015 — breakfast in the garden, an all-day cafe, and catering for the gatherings next door.

In the house

The kitchen sits at the front of the property, between the street and the garden. It's small, run by our in-house team, and it does three things: breakfast for house guests, a cafe open to the neighborhood, and catering for the gatherings that happen a few steps away in Andrea Garden Hall. Every meal — from morning longganisa to a hundred-plate buffet — comes out of this same kitchen, prepared by the same team. The menu is not long. It is cooked by people you will see again at dinner.

Breakfast for house guests 6:00 AM — 10:00 AM Available with most rates — ask when you reserve.
Cafe & walk-in dining 7:00 AM — 9:00 PM Open to the neighborhood. Cash or card.
The dining area at Ala Amid — a round table set for breakfast, overlooking the garden and pool through floor-to-ceiling windows.

The morning ritual

A quiet opening to the day, before the heat.

Breakfast starts at six and runs until ten. In that window, the light is still soft, the mangoes are still cold from the fridge, and the pool is glass. Most mornings the coffee pot empties before the second round of pan de sal comes out of the oven. You can sit indoors under the ceiling fan or outside where the garden hasn't quite woken up yet.

The menu rotates in Filipino classics — longganisa, tapa, tocino, fried rice with a sunny-side egg — plus something lighter for travelers who still aren't sure what timezone they're in. Fresh fruit every day. Coffee is brewed, not instant. Tea if you prefer it. If something isn't on the plate that you wish was, tell Sabie — she has been doing this long enough to probably have it.

Through the day & into the night

Comfort food for the rest of it, catering for the rest of them.

Between breakfast and bedtime, the in-house kitchen keeps a short all-day menu — rice meals, sandwiches, merienda, cold drinks. It's food for people who've spent the morning on a boat off Honda Bay and want to eat without leaving the property.

For weddings, birthdays, and offsites in Andrea Garden Hall, the in-house kitchen team handles the catering directly: Filipino menus, fusion spreads, themed setups, and dietary adjustments built around the guest list. One team, one consistent standard, from the morning longganisa through the evening buffet. Quote, menu, and tasting arranged over the gathering inquiry.

Also at the lobby

Sabie Bakes — cupcakes and custom cakes by the door.

You'll spot the Sabie Bakes counter on the way in. It's the family's bakery brand — independently owned and operated by Sabie herself, started in 2013 and based at our lobby ever since the family moved to Puerto Princesa. Cupcakes for the road, custom cakes for occasions, and the brand's full menu lives at sabiebakes.com.

Note: All meals at Ala Amid — breakfast, all-day cafe, and event catering — are prepared by our in-house kitchen team, separate from Sabie Bakes.

Vegetarian, gluten-free, halal, just picky?

Tell us when you book, or mention it the night before. Sabie will plan around you. We're a family — just ask. The smaller the kitchen, the easier it is to accommodate.
