Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

 I recently posted in my Instagram account a picture of a Red Velvet cake and it generated quite a few likes and the #redvelvet hashtag has millions of posts already. I am really surprised how this red cake became so popular.  If we play a guessing game a couple of years ago, and you will give me clues of red and you can buy it in a bakeshop, the most likely answer that will come out of my mouth will be Bahug Bahug.  Bahug bahug is basically bread pudding and the sweet red creation was a favorite of mine while I was growing up. If there was Instagram in the 1980's, #bahugbahug could have thousands of posts. I searched Instagram for #bahugbahug and there were only 40 posts mentioning the hashtag.

One of the nicest looking cafes in Cebu is Dolce.  Dolce is located in Nivel Hills and it offers a lot of yummy creations that can satisfy any sweet tooth.  It is hard to miss the place, you will pass by Dolce when you are going to Marco Polo Plaza hotel.  It is in the left side when you are coming from the city. Dolce which means sweet in Italian is basically a boutique cafe that boasts of an impressive building structure and elegant interiors.  The place serves coffee, tea, and desserts. They offer their cake in slices or as a mini-cake version.
