Alberto's Pizza delivery; Only in Cebu.

Something Cheap...
Something besides Chinese...

Since Pizza Hut and Greenwich couldn't deliver... we have ALBERTO's.
Alberto's Pizza is a small pizza company with a total of 13 branches here in Cebu. Luckily, one is located here at Canduman Town Center. They served pizza in 9" and 11" diameter; from simple "yummy hotdog pizza" to "meaty royale".  The price also differ from the cheese of your choice; either quickmelt or mozzarella. 

Our Favorite...
The GARDEN EXPRESS; button mushroom, pineapple tidbits, olives, fresh tomatoes, onion, red and green bell pepper. For only P135.00 in quickmelt Cheese.
We usually ordered Pepperoni or All Hungarian... But this time we want something new,
BEEF SHAWARMA. Our favorite shawarma ingredients in pizza; ground beef, cucumber, lettuce, onions and tomatoes.  Although the dressing made the pizza more soggy, the taste was okey. P149 in quickmelt cheese.

C.O.K.

Have you been to Banawe Avenue lately? Do you loved to eat? tired of Chinese food? Have you try the new Restaurant near Starbucks? 

Have you heard the name CULINARY OUT KAST?

You might want to google it and find out others experienced.
Or you might want to read this blog, for a start.

Culinary Out Kast or COK, opened June of last year, located at Banawe Ave. Quezon City (across Cambridge Preschool).  It has a cozy ambiance, for the owner wants their customers to feel "at home".  You can read books, magazines, and daily newspaper while waiting for your meal. Take note, that COK is not a fast food, or shall I say, eating is comfort. They assure you that your food is served hot and fresh from the kitchen. 

Food they served.... Personally, I loved the Sisig rolls, Fish and Chips, the Beef tapa for breakfast, the Coconut seafood pasta, Beef burger, Baked ribs and Pepperoni pizza.  They also served Steak but it is pricey compared to Everything at Steak. They used imported beef and NO tenderizer.


As Love month approaching, try the Coconut seafood pasta. The Coconut Seafood pasta is the signature dish of COK.  It was invented/created by Chef Richie and his girl friend, now fiance, when they entered a school competition and won, in their College years.  The competition's theme was (I think) celebrating Valentine's Day.  Just like love and life, it has sweetness taste with a twist of spiciness.  Thus, Coconut seafood pasta was created.

Affordable meals @ Nonki

Mang Inasal's unlimited rice or Sashimi at Nonki's... that was our choice when we decided to have our lunch near Mactan airport before Mom's flight to Manila.  We were not craving for anything and sooo... our feet carried us to Nonki.  

Miso Soup and Rice
One thing I like about Cebu is they know how to treat foreign guests.  So, as much as possible I always pretend that I cannot understand Visayan language.  It was frustrating sometimes when they are not being maasikaso with their kababayan.  It wasn't my first time at Nonki but first time here in Airport Road, Mactan.  Still, the ambience is welcoming and nice friendly waitresses.  My first experienced at Nonki, I spent almost 2K just for 3 person, quite expensive but the food was really good. But this time, I discovered they have lunch sets of meal.  All meal are served with miso soup and a cup of rice plus, a complimentary of one scoop of ice cream or mixed fruits. My siblings and I ordered the Pork Teppanyaki lunch set.


The Pork Teppanyaki luch set is served with miso soup, rice, (of course) the pork teppanyaki served in sizzling plate with  stir fry bean sprouts, Sashimi platter, and lastly the complimentary dessert.

Here's the happy part, you can enjoy the Pork Teppanyaki lunch set for only  290.00 php only.
My mom ordered for (something) Soba lunch set; served with miso soup, cold soba with  special soba sauce (the small cup in the middle), sweet Japanese rice (the one they used to make the sushi) topped with mixed sashimi.  My mom enjoyed her meal!! she was making her own sushi.  Enjoy this meal for 380.00 Php only!
