Cebu City: Casa Verde

When I went to Cebu last summer for the Cebu Blog Camp 2011, I did not fail to visit one of my favorite restaurants in Cebu City and that is Casa Verde. Casa Verde restaurant has 3 branches: the main branch in Ramos St., The Walk in IT Park, and at The Ayala Terraces.

I met up with my Cebu-based friends and we decided to have lunch in Casa Verde at The Ayala Terraces since it is also near my friend’s office. Casa Verde restaurant is indeed a great place to catch up, make chikka while enjoying a very comfy ambiance and delicious meal.

The Best Macaroni Bites at Dessert Factory

Last May 28, 2011, I attended the Cebu Blog Camp 2011. Summer was ending already and so CBC2011 was also a great excuse to go to Cebu City before I wrap-up my favorite season. One of the restaurants I visited during that *illegal trip* I had in Cebu early this year was Dessert Factory. It was Leyk and Jeyco who brought me to Dessert Factory during my first visit and I swore to myself that I will really go back the next time I set foot in Cebu again. Dessert Factory is located at the 3rd level of Ayala Terraces. 

I know that Dessert Factory is actually known for their desserts, but ironically, I fell inlove with their appetizer called "Macaroni Bites". And oh yes, it's not even a dessert. :)

Cebu Blog Camp 2011

This coming Saturday, May 28, 2011, I will be attending the Cebu Blog Camp for the first time! I wasn't able to join last year's CBC due to some unfortunate events, that's why this year, I made sure I will not miss it anymore! :) And I am sooo zooper excited, I just can't hide it! Lol;)

So why am I so ecstatic about the Cebu Blog Camp? Well, here are my reasons:

Golden Cowrie at SM City Cebu

After the Sizzlin’ Pepper Steak experience we had during lunch time, we opted to get some Filipino food for dinner. Since we were already in the area, we decided to have our dinner at Golden Cowrie in SM City Cebu. The first time that I ate in Golden Cowrie was about 8-10 years ago at their main branch in Lahug with my family. I was very young then so I really couldn’t remember what Golden Cowrie was like, but I do remember one thing: they use banana leaf as plates.

As soon as we entered the restaurant located at the lower ground floor of SM City Cebu, we were asked to wait since the restaurant was jam-packed. But the waiting didn’t take that long, we were led to our table and we were each given a menu for us to choose our orders. We had a hard time choosing what to order because everything looked delicious!

Cebu City: The Sizzlin' Pepper Steak

Few days back, My Purple Spoon went to Cebu City to meet a VIP. After about 4 hours of land trip from Dumaguete City, I arrived at Cebu City with a growling stomach. Upon setting foot in the Queen City of the South, we proceeded to Ayala to grab some lunch. We strolled around Ayala Terraces and searched for a place to eat and we spotted The Sizzlin’ Pepper Steak at the second level of Ayala Terraces.
