Cafe Laguna - Dumaguete City

Few days back, I had lunch at Cafe Laguna. It is known that Cafe Laguna started in Cebu during the early 1990s and it's only in 2010 that they branched out here in Dumaguete City. Cafe Laguna in Dumaguete City is situated right beside Hotel Nicanor and there's really a big sign outside the restaurant so I'm very sure you wouldn't miss it; in case you might want to visit this restaurant.

Cafe Laguna is famous for their Filipino food “with a distinctive taste”. Well in my opinion, it's basically “lutong bahay” kind of a restaurant but maybe a notch higher than the usual “lutong bahay” restaurants because of its classy interiors and, not to mention, great food. 

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!

One Fine Afternoon @ Gabby's Bistro

Last week, my friends and I went to Gabby’s Bistro which is located at Florentina Homes, Bantayan, Dumaguete City. I am a big fan of this place because it offers not just good food, but as well as speedy service. Their dishes are undeniably delicious, the prices are just right, and not to mention, their ambiance is one of the best around the city. Gabby's Bistro in Dumaguete is actually the best place to go to have fun dining and experience an unbelievably amazing ambiance.

Dinner @ La Residencia Almar: Don Atilano

Last night, my family and I had dinner at Don Atilano. This exquisite restaurant is situated along the Rizal Boulevard, Dumaguete City. It is actually right inside the La Residencia Almar hotel, so you wouldn’t really miss it. Just this year, Don Atilano (and La Residencia Almar) did a major renovation with their place and I must say, it’s more cozy now. I like how they re-designed their interiors and everything else, especially the non-smoking area. But okay, enough of that matter. Let’s talk with the nomnom language now.  :-)

Bacolod: Enting's Special of Sagay

Not so long ago, Enting’s Special of Sagay branched out here in Dumaguete City. And I admit, I was a frequent customer because I was really a big fan of their food. But just last year, they closed down their branch here and focused on their two branches in Sagay and Bacolod City. So anyway, few days back, I had the chance to visit Bacolod City again so I never missed the chance to visit Enting’s Special of Sagay to indulge myself with my favorite nomnoms!

Korean Food at Fish153

Fish153 is a Korean restaurant located near Silliman University. The whole place is divided into two – the restaurant and a grocery store; and it is owned by a Korean family who now resides in Dumaguete City. At first glance of the place from the outside, you wouldn’t really have high expectations with their food because the place looks simple. But wait until you get inside and taste the yumminess of their dishes!
