Kalami Cebu 2026: A Fresh Start, A Delicious Challenge

Image
Happy New Year, Kalaminions! 🎉 2026 is here, and with it comes a promise—a promise to myself and to all of you. This year, Kalami Cebu isn’t just back ; it’s ready to serve more than just food posts. It’s a revival of a vision : helping everyone, from local food lovers to OFWs craving a taste of home, and tourists dreaming of Cebu, discover the best places to eat and experience the heart of our city—one bite at a time. For me, Kalami Cebu has always been about more than just sharing food. It’s about telling stories behind every dish , celebrating the people who cook, serve, and create experiences, and making it easy for you to know where to go, what to order, and how much it’ll cost . But 2026 comes with a challenge: I’m committing to frequent, daily articles, keeping the content fresh, relevant, and useful. It won’t always be perfect, but it will always be sincere, fun, and helpful. Whether it’s an old favorite you’ve missed or a hidden gem waiting to be discovered, Kalami Cebu will...

Why the Galaxy S25 FE, Tab S11, and Buds3 FE Are the Perfect Trio for Every Foodie and Content Creator

Image
  If there’s one thing I’ve learned as a food blogger and content creator, it’s that  time and convenience are everything.  When I’m out shooting food videos, jumping from one café to another, or editing reels late at night, I need gear that keeps up. That’s why Samsung’s latest releases — the  Galaxy S25 FE ,  Galaxy Tab S11 , and  Galaxy Buds3 FE  — instantly caught my attention. These aren’t just cool new gadgets. They’re a  total ecosystem upgrade  that makes daily life smoother, whether you’re creating, hustling, or simply enjoying your favorite local eats. 🍜📱 🌟 The Galaxy Ecosystem in Action: Seamless from Street Eats to Screen Time What I love most about the Galaxy lineup is how everything just…  flows.

A Parent’s Love That Lasts Beyond a Lifetime: Why a Plan B Matters

Image
“I want to be like you, Mama.” Every parent dreams of hearing those words. They’re not just sweet—they’re a reminder that our children look up to us, draw from us, and want to carry our light forward. As parents, we dream even bigger dreams for them: to finish school, to find their calling, to live with security, and to keep reaching for the stars. But here’s the thing: life doesn’t always go as planned. We don’t like thinking about it, but what if one day, we’re no longer there to provide the means? What happens to the child who wants to be a doctor, an engineer, or maybe an artist like you? Without support, dreams can fade. And that’s something no parent ever wants to imagine. This is where  Plan B  comes in. More than a financial tool,  life insurance is an invisible safety net . It’s the promise that even when you’re gone, your love still protects. It makes sure your child can still finish school, still stay in the home they grew up in, and still have what they need t...

Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette: Cebu’s Sweet Secret in Tisa 🍩

Image
When it comes to Cebu’s food scene, we’ve always been spoiled with classics like lechon, ngohiong, and sutukil. But if you’ve got a sweet tooth, there’s a rising star in town that deserves a spot on your must-try list— Kat & Perry’s Kitchenette   in Tisa. I first learned about this humble doughnut shop through social media, and what really caught my attention was when a local award-giving body recognized them for having  the best doughnuts in Cebu.  That kind of praise isn’t something you hear every day, so naturally, my curiosity was piqued. A Sweet Sunday Discovery One Sunday, I decided to make the drive to their shop located at  Cabarrubias St., San Jose Village, Tisa, Cebu City (nearest landmark: House of Fruitas). Kat & Perry’s opens at  12 noon , and believe it or not, I was  Customer No. 1  for the day. The anticipation felt like lining up for fresh bread in the morning—but this time, it was for doughnuts. I ordered a box of six assorted...

When Life Gives You Lemons, Do You Have a Plan B? 🍋

Image
We’ve  all heard the saying   “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.”   It’s a nice reminder to stay positive and resilient when challenges come our way. But let’s be real—sometimes life throws lemons so sour and unexpected, no amount of sugar can fix it. That’s why aside from optimism, we need preparation. And one of the best ways to prepare is through   life insurance. Why Life Insurance Matters Think about it: we work hard every day for our  Plan A —whether that’s buying a home, raising a family, building a business, or simply enjoying a comfortable life. But what happens if something unexpected occurs? Critical illness, accidents, or even an untimely passing could easily disrupt everything you’ve worked for. This is where  Plan B  comes in—life insurance. It’s not about being pessimistic; it’s about being practical. Life insurance makes sure that even if the worst happens, your family is protected, your goals are safeguarded, and the lifestyle...

Rediscovering Comfort and Resilience: Itchoy Batchoyan Reopens with Hope

Image
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...
