Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

One of my favorite local desserts is the Leche Flan. It was love at firs taste when I first had Leche Flan back when I was a little boy.  My mom is an expert in making this enjoyable dessert.  This is an easy dessert to make, but it takes some time to master.  Leche Flan is made of sugar, egg yolks, evaporated milk and condensed milk. It is sweet, creamy, and addictive.  Here is a link to a  good Leche Flan Recipe from Food.com:  http://www.food.com/recipe/special-leche-flan-275014 Do you love Leche Flan too?

After having a savory meal at a Chinese restaurant, I usually look for something sweet.  One of my favorite desserts to order is Buchi.  Buchi is a round rice cake covered with sesame seeds and filled with sweet bean paste. Most Chinese restaurants have it.  Even fast-food chain Chowking has it. I can probably finish at least 2 cakes after a meal. How about you? Do you love Buchi too?

Halo-Halo is probably one of the most loved cold desserts by Filipinos.  There are so many versions of this popular dessert.  The possibilities are actually endless as restaurants use some unique ingredients to make their halo-halo special. One way of making a halo-halo unique is to "put on steroids" and make it a giant.  The giant-sized halo-halo which became a craze here in Cebu was started by Ice Giants. Founded in Davao, Ice Giants conquered Cebu with their Giant Halo-Halo. The super-sized Ice Giants dessert has toppings that include Ice Cream in different flavors, wafer sticks, candies, cream, and a whole lot more.  It is fun to eat with friends and family. Have you tried the Halo-Halo at Ice Giants? How do you find it? Ice Giants has a branch in Capitol Site and City Times Square Mandaue.  Frozen Snack Bar in Juana Osmena also offers a similarly sized halo-halo.  Related articles 6-5-2015 Food of the Day: Snow Ice Halo Halo by Majestic - t...
