When in Cebu: Diners and Food Places that You Should Try

February 12, 2018 by Josiah 1 Comment

Cebu, a province in the Philippines’ Central Visayas Region is one of the country’s top tourist destinations. Heralded as the “Queen City of the South,” tourism numbers are high here; in fact, it draws about two million foreign tourists year in and year out. In line with this, the number of travel packages and deals to Cebu are booming.Cebu, Philippines

Wondering what attracts tourists to this province? Well, it’s the white-sand beaches, spectacular diving spots, and good food! Simply put, it’s a haven if you’re a foodie who wants to indulge in mouthwatering meals that only the province of Cebu can offer. The question still stands, though: where should you eat if you head over to the “Queen City of the South?” Worry no more since we’ve got you covered.


Carcar Lechon

Remember, your Cebu escapade won’t be complete without a taste of lechon de Cebu and what better place to try it than in Carcar Lechon, which is known among locals as the Queen of all lechons. Their variety comes packed with mouthwatering flavors since their pigs are bathed in broth as well as drippings before being cooked. While there, treat yourself to crispy golden red skin, tender meat, layers of fat, and so on. Mouthwatering indeed!

Gibb’s Hot Wings

Are you a chicken lover? Then rejoice! Gibb’s Hot Wings is just perfect for you; in fact, it can give Dear Manok a run for their money! Traveling with your squad? Grab some craft beers and go for the spiciest level of wings challenge. Worrying if they’re too hot for you? Then you’d be happy to find out that they serve a special beverage for the burning sensation. If you are faint-hearted, then just try their tacos, potato wedges, and carbonara, among others.

STK ta Bay! at Paulito’s Seafood House in Cebu City, Philippines

January 19, 2016 by Josiah 2 Comments

After seeing Kareen (Laagan na Cebuana) on top of Osmeña Peak, I got in contact with her via Facebook in order to meet her again with our friend Kate (Red Maleta). They asked where I wanted to eat (since I am non-Cebu based), I told them I want seafood. They said we should eat at STK ta Bay! I was like is that a serious name for a restaurant? Apparently it was and since I’m getting seafood I never really made much thought about it until now that I am writing about the restaurant.

Before anything else let us dissect what STK means.

  • S – Sugba (Grill)
  • T – Tula (Broth)
  • K – Kilaw (Ceviche or cooked in lime or vinegar)

Food Tripping in Sabang, Puerto Princesa, Palawan

March 6, 2012 by Josiah 4 Comments

We arrived at Sabang around 9AM via Lexus Shuttle Service and we were hungry!!!

The 50 Peso Dingy Diner

My brother and I planned that on this trip we would try to do things as cheap as possible, so we first looked for cheap breakfast. We checked out a couple of diners but the cheapest they can offer is a 89 Peso meal which is actually really off our budget.

We decided to walk westward, away from the lodgings and try our luck there. After passing by the port, asking some locals and passing by small souvenir shops we arrived at a dingy diner which serves 40 Peso dishes and an additional of 10 Peso rice.

I ordered nilagang baka and my brother ordered chicken adobo. For 50 pesos each we had our fill that morning.

The Tribal Lunch

After checking out some lodging at the west side of Sabang and visiting their waterfalls, we were thirsty and hungry again!!! We decided to try another diner and clumsily decided not to buy water since we were already looking for lunch.

Unfortunately, almost all the diners near Sabang Port are only service Eat-All-You-Can food for 200 Pesos. That’s way beyond our budget. We decided to keep on walking until we find cheap food.
