Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

When I was a kid, I was always required to sleep in the afternoon.  The reward  is a delicious merienda.  One of my favorite merienda item is the Champorado.  I recently discovered a good place to this chocolatey rice porridge. I am quite surprised that Maitre Chocolatier at Ayala Terraces Cebu serves this Pinoy snack at a sweet price.

When it comes to food, the number 1 item that Cebuanos would be proud of is our inasal or lechon .  For years, it has been our trademark and even the late Anthony Bourdain exclaimed that here in Cebu, he found t he best pig ever.   In the past, we normally eat Lechon Cebu at hole-in-wall eating places.  Now, we see the rise of many restaurants that offer Lechon as its main specialty and one of the best of this kind of establishments is the House of Lechon.  I recently visited their newest branch at Don Jose Avila St., Capitol Site and here is a short review.
