Eateries in Cebu: Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis

Where to have cheap lunch in Cebu
If I ended up in the Banilad area during lunchtime, I usually have lunch in one of my favorite eateries in Cebu.  Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis is usually packed during lunch because of its variety and affordability.  This carenderia offer the best selection of local dishes at very good prices.  It is not a surprise why this is frequented by many workers from nearby offices.  I visited the eatery recently and here some of the delicious dishes that they offer:


Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis
If you love vegetable dishes, there are a lot of choices at Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis. Above is Squash in Coconut Milk. The creamy goodness of the gata (Filipino term for Coconut Milk) goes so well with the squash and string beans.

Filipinos, in general, would not like any part of a cow or pork go to waste so we invented dishes that make use of innards. One of the most popular local dishes is Paklay which usually has ox tripe, liver, and other parts of an animal's digestive system.  The dish includes a lot of spices like chili and ginger to give it a delicious aroma and taste.

Sometimes, Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis offer exotic seafood dishes like octopus and stingray.  Above is Nilarang na Pagi or Hot and Sour Stingray.  This dish is a favorite of some males who believe that stingray is an aphrodisiac. The soup can really awaken your taste buds. 

Cebuano Cuisine, Carenderia Favorites Cebu
When I eat here, I usually get around 2 to 3 viands. One serving is usually good enough for 1 rice but because it is so affordable, I always getting 1 or 2 more dishes. I also like this place because they have a parking space and they have a decent capacity.  The Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis are perfectly seasoned for locals but surprisingly, I usually see many Koreans eat in this carenderia. 

Shalom Judges and Jireh Genesis is located at Archbishop Reyes Avenue, just under the Ayala Junction flyover.

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.

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.
