Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

I am a big fan of Chinese food and I am also fond of eat-all-you-can buffets.  One of my favorite Chinese-themed eat-all-you-can restaurants in Cebu is the Grand Majestic Buffet.  The name Grand Majestic to Cebuanos is synonymous to excellent Chinese food.  Grand Majestic has been serving high-quality food for decades.  The restaurant is in the Grand Convention Center.  Last year, there was a major renovation in the Grand Convention Center and when it reopened, a redesigned and updated version of the restaurant started offering an awesome buffet.

Last month, a former agent of mine wanted to meet up and have lunch somewhere in Ayala. We planned to meet at Gold's Gym so I ended up passing by the new wing of Ayala Center Cebu and I saw that the iconic Cebu Chinese restaurant Majestic has opened a new branch at the mall.  It has been a while since I last ate at the popular Chinese restaurant, so I decided to eat there with my agent.

What's the best value eat-all-you-can restaurant in Cebu? One of my high school buddies celebrated his birthday recently and he wanted to meet some of the boys of our high school batch. We all wanted to eat something that reminded us of high school. Something we call "old school".  Way back in the 1990's, one of the most popular restaurants that we frequently ate at during the weekends was  Ding Qua Qua .  Ding Qua Qua's location then was beside Rustan's in Mango Avenue.  The place was known for its dim sum.  The most popular dishes were steamed rice, siomai, lumpia shanghai (spring rolls), and hakaw. Steamed Rice is not your ordinary rice, this is a specialty. E very Cebuano knows what steamed rice means.

Cebu is like the dimsum capital of the Philippines.   Cebuanos were lucky to have the Ding Qua Qua (Kokseng) Group which introduced them to the wonderful world of dimsum.  I was introduced to dimsum way back in my elementary days at the old Ding Qua Qua in now what is known as Mango Square.

A very good Chinese tea restaurant has opened at the  City Times Square in Mandaue City .  David's Tea House is a restaurant will give customers a taste of Hong Kong .  The main branch of this restaurant chain is located in Chinatown in Manila. The specialties of David's Tea House include Dimsum, Noodles, and Congee. The restaurant also serve popular Chinese and Filipino dishes.  To contact their branch here in Cebu, you may call 0922-8967629.
