It has been a while since the #Hibsters leads had a get-together .  We finally found a good reason to meet up when Jullian Sibi's family moved in to their new house in Guadalupe. I also wanted to celebrate  landing a new job.  Here is what we did in our latest Kalaminions #MeetEatRepeat session.


#MeetEatRepeat: New Beginnings


Life is like a book that we moved from one chapter to another.  Moving to a new house or a new job brings about new possibilities. Indeed, it is good reason to celebrate. So, what do you want to eat to celebrate a milestone?

In Cebu, it is a no-brainer that we will buy some lechon or inasal during happy times.  That weekend was no different.  We bought lechon from CNT which moved to a new location in V. Rama Avenue.  Their new restaurant looks way better than the previous location and it looks like that they want to be serious contender in the next #LechonWar.  We bought a kilo of lechon and some dinuguan (blood stew).

Aside from the meat, we also bought some seafood from a roadside eatery in Andres Abellana.  This eatery is where taxi drivers normally flock for lunch or dinner.

I also bought some ngohiong from Carlos Ngohiong.

It was a feast.  The lechon and dinuguan combo was unbeatable.  We also had grilled squid and fish along with the ngohiong.  I think we will be doing more of these house meet-ups very soon because Jullian was an excellent host and he said we are always welcome to his house.

Before we parted ways, we all went to Ice Giants to devour a Giant Halo-Halo for our dessert.

It was another amazing #MeetEatRepeat session and I am looking forward to more of these in the future.  Here's to new beginnings and continuous growth!  Happy Easter!!!

One of the best ways to enjoy a weekend is to go to a newly-opened cafe. I went to Backstory Kitchen and Cafe a couple of weekends ago and I got an awesome meal at an awesome new place.
