It is almost summer and for me, summer means seafood. During summer, I always go to the beach and the best beach food for me is Sutukil. I do not have to wait for summer anymore to enjoy some delicious Sutukil because Isla Sugbu Seafood City is now offering a Sutukil package for 4 people for only 1,600 pesos. Fresh Sutukil cooked in a top notch kitchen is just a 15-minute drive from home.
I recently got invited to check out another restaurant at The Gallery in Mabolo. I immediately said yes because The Gallery has been the home to several interesting restaurants. The name of the latest establishment that I have tried is F Café and Bar. I expected it to be the typical run of the mill bar/café that offer fatty dishes to cater to a crowd interested in booze, as well as, food. Well, I was totally wrong and really glad that I was.
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...
When a balikbayan goes home to the Philippines, he/she would definitely want to eat in a Filipino restaurant. My mom is no different. One of her favorite Filipino restaurants in Cebu is Cafe Laguna. A couple of weeks ago, I drove her to the Basilica Minore Del Santo Nino because she wanted to hear mass with her friends. My wife and I tagged along. After the mass, my mom said that she wanted to have an early dinner. I decided to take her to Parilya, Laguna group's newest restaurant at the South Road Properties. It was definitely a wise decision as we had a very enjoyable and filling dinner.
Although I am not much of a sweet tooth, I usually go to a cafe or a dessert place at least once a week. To be honest, I really do not go to cafes to devour their tempting creations but more out of necessity as cafes have decent Wi-Fi connection making them a suitable place for meetings and working lunches. I usually prefer cafes that offer hot meals because I am more of a protein eater. I recently dropped by SM City Cebu and found out that Country Basket has opened a branch at the lower ground floor level of the mall. I got to try some of their creations and I felt that Country Basket Pastries and More has the potential to be my favorite cafe in the area.
