Kalami Cebu! - A Gastronomic Guide to Cebu

Squid or Nocos, as we call it in Cebu is one of the most common seafood that is offered in  Filipino restaurants and grill places.  Squid is quite versatile as it can be an ingredient to a noodle dish like Bam-i, an appetizer as Fried Calamari or a viand like adobong pusit.  One of my favorite preparations for squid is simply grilling it.  Sinugbang Nocos works for me as a main dish or a pulutan. When you are grilling squid, you have to make sure not to overcook.  Grilled squid is best at medium or mdium rare especially when you are using a really fresh squid. Dipping the squid in some local vinegar would really give it a nice flavor. when was the last time you had squid???

 I have not written as many posts lately because I have to spend time with my mom who was here for a vacation.  One of the most memorable places that we visited this summer is Kalanggaman Island in Leyte.  We visited the famous sandbar off the coast of Palompon, Leyte last week and we really love the place.  A summer getaway will never be perfect without some delicious food and we got loads of it thanks to our hosts.

One day, I had this craving to eat some fish like tinola (soup) or sinugba (grilled). There are quite many possibilities for that here in Cebu.  There are even several restaurants in the mall that offer these kinds of dishes.  But this day, I would really like to eat something different and something special.  So, I ask some people where is the best place to eat tinola or sinugba.  A couple of my gym buddies told me that I should try Parr't Ebelle because they consider the restaurant as one of the best seafood restaurants in Cebu. I asked some taxi drivers and they point me to that place as well.
