Dainty and pretty can best describe the small Cebu pastry shop called Phoebe’s Cupcakery. I learned of this place when my sister who loves pretty, dainty, chic and colorful things asked if I know this small café and if I do, that we go there to check it out. Last Sunday while my sister was [...]
SUTUKIL is a food preparation that Cebu is famous for. The words “SU” “TU” and “KIL” stands for Sugba (Grilled), Tula or Tuwa (Tinola/Soup) and Kilaw (Kilawin / Ceviche). Normally what you do in sutukil restaurants is you check out their fresh catch of the day, chose your seafood which could be a combination of [...]
This review and sharing of our Lantaw Restaurant experience became a very long post that I have decided to break down the story into two blog posts lest you be sleeping after a few paragraphs hehe.

I’ve come to notice that more often than not spontaneity works best especially when it comes to get togethers and reunions among barkadas. Long planning doesn’t seem to work especially in light of countless food trips, beach day trips and road trip adventures which did not pan out and were sooner postponed and cancelled. Come to think [...]
If you scroll down this page all the way to the bottom where you can see the author box, you’ll read an early disclaimer about me not even attempting to try out any eating challenges. There is no way I could possibly win a food eating contest. No way Jose, well that’s not entirely right, [...]
Adobo. Adobo. Adobo I really love adobo! This dish is probably the most popular Filipino food worldwide, despite the fact that you can’t find one single national recipe for adobo in the Philippines. Every region has a different take on this pinoy food favorite, adding some twist here and there. Example, here in Cebu, our [...]
Cebu is a haven for cheap food trip. You can check the other Cebu Food posts review on this blog and know that I am telling the truth. Good food is cheap in Cebu. Sure there are many specialty restaurants with offerings that are out of reach for the average earning Pinoy, but there are [...]
You would think that visiting La Mare Café in IT Park often will result to “pagka-umay”. But surprisingly I have been there countless times and yet I still continue to love their classic warm brownie cup. Yep that’s what I find myself ordering lately LOL. Every visit to this Cebu pastry and dessert shop in [...]
The first time I’ve heard of Chicken Charlie opening in Cebu was from a friend’s Facebook shoutout, minutes after I relied on Google to find its exact location. I have no idea why I didn’t go straight to Chicken’s Charlie official site hahaha. Blame it on my “Go to Google” for everything mentality hehe. So [...]

I am a big fan of dimsums and chili oil. 
My favorite selections from Chinese restaurant dimsum menu are siomai (of course), shanghai rolls and pork steamed rice. So when I was invited to the inauguration of Chow City Cebu Restaurant in The Walk IT Park I did not think twice but said yes!

You can also order ala carte for Chinese dishes like…
