Yummy "Light" Dinner at Gusto Urban Cafe + Wine Bar

One time my friend Lotlot was looking for a place to eat dinner and she wanted to eat somewhere in I.T. Park.  We decided to check out Gusto Urban Cafe + Wine Bar and try wonderful creations.  I was not really that hungry then and I was just content on finishing what Lotlot and her kids have ordered. An hour later, I ended up having a #happytummy.

Gusto Urban Cafe + Wine Bar at the Asiatown I.T. Park is located at the ground floor of the Calyx Centre.  It is one of the many posh looking restaurants in the area.  It is part of the famed Anzani-group of restaurants. The cafe cum wine bar specializes in Italian dishes.

For our dinner, the girls decided to order some salad, pasta, and pizza cone.

The pasta dish was well cooked and flavored well.  The noodles were al dente and the serving size was really adequate for 1 -2 persons.

My favorite dish of the dinner was the pizza cone.  I love it because of its presentation, fun factor, and taste.  The pizza cone is basically a pizza slice folded to look like an ice cream cone.  The item is rally Instagram-worthy.  It really made curious on how to eat it such beautiful yet complicated bread. I tried eating it like an ice cream and I thoroughly enjoyed the cheesy part.  The flavors can rival some of the best pizzas in Cebu.

Lotlot just had salad, because she wanted to slim down for the summer.  The salad was just ok.

I always have fun eating with the Madura girls.  I was quite ecstatic that I discovered an interesting dish that night.  It was another tummy-filling dinner and I will definitely go back to Gusto and have some of their pizza cones.

When news broke that Itchoy Batchoyan had reopened its doors, my heart did a little dance of joy. The unassuming eatery nestled in the heart of Cebu City had become a cherished haven for many, offering more than just food; it provided comfort, solace, and a sense of community during the tough times of the pandemic and beyond. In a city known for its bustling food scene, Itchoy Batchoyan still found a way to stand out. During the pandemic, I never stopped exploring and looking for the best local eats.  One of my most exciting discoveries was this unassuming Batchoyan and Paresan. I remember the first time I walked through its doors, drawn in by the aroma of familiar Filipino comfort foods. Batchoy,  beef pares, Sisig, Crispy Kare-Kare, and Lechon Kawali were just a few of the fantastic creations that awaited those lucky enough to discover this culinary haven.  The eatery back then had a "dirty kitchen" were you can watch how the delicious food are made. The man behind this hid

In the past year, there have been several restaurants in Cebu that wants to claim "The Best Wings Place in Cebu" title.  The introduction of several chicken wing places cannot outpace the demand for delicious and spicy chicken wings. It is definitely a booming segment as many  Cebuanos flock to their favorite wing place.  Recently, I had a "wing night" with my wife and we restaurant-hopped in two of the best chicken wing places in Cebu. First, we visited the newly opened Bad Boys Wingz right across Bright Academy in Talamban. This wing place used to be a small, but very popular food stall at the BTC and because of the high demand of chicken wings, the owners opened a stand-alone restaurant. I would say it was an excellent decision because they really serve one of the best chicken wings in Cebu.
