CAFE LAGUNA #WhenInCebu

What else to do after a whole day training? EAT. 

On our second day in Cebu, we went to Ayala Terraces complex where they have a lot of selections of restaurants and coffee shops. And this one is like our favourite place in Fairview (Ayala Terraces). 

Where to go when you have plenty of choices and cannot decide? Ask for the most visited one. So we went inside CAFE LAGUNA. This is chain of restaurants owned by a family from Laguna. They serve authentic tagalog dishes in Cebu and Mindanao. The food is delicious, but very affordable. So let me share our dinner that night. 

I always appreciate menu with pictures and prices together. It makes you decide that to order agad. lol 

And I appreciate that they have fresh centrepiece. These "big" orchid flower daw is rare to find. 

They also serve unlimited  "Pandan" tea as a complimentary as we wait for our food to arrive. Well, actually, drinking tea while savouring the food is good for your digestion. 

We loaded on calories with this steamed crab cooked with garlic sauce. Yes, we ate with bare hands. 

We also had this "sugbu" (Inihaw) na Taningue. 

Pork Sinigang. 

Creamy and fresh avocado shake

And for dessert. Macapuno Ube for P95 only! Steal right?! and this is pure ube btw. 

CAFE LAGUNA is really one of the restaurants that you should try when you visit Cebu.

ZUBU CHON #WhenInCebu

CEBU = LECHON 

Trip in Cebu is not complete if you did not eat Lechon. So we hop on to one of the famous restaurant which serves the feast. 

As Chef Antoni Bourdain called it "the BEST PIG EVER". They offer various dishes which twisted to have a lechon in it. They also have pasalubongs that you can take home like chicharon, and tablea chocolates. 

They also serve in season shakes and juices. Like this DUHAT SHAKE. The sweetness of this native fruit, blended with ice is so refreshing. They also have CAMIAS SHAKE which supposed to clean your palate from eating the falvourful foods. Also they have SANTOL JUICE with real santol skin and seed. (Not in the pictures, we gulped them agad! Lol )

And this, is the STAR OF THE TABLE. With the skin crsipy, tasty and flavorful belly you can't help but to get more rice! Altough, they cook lechon not the traditional way, it is still one of the tastiest lechon I've tasted.  

Burp. We also had Adobo Kangkong with chicharon and Steamed Lapu Lapu. 

The branch that we went to is near to Cebu Grand Hotel, but there are lots of branches around the city. And there is also one in the airport, where I had my Lechon Sisig with Rice (Yum!). They also sell Lechon per Kilo in a box that you can take home.
