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.

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!

ROMA MIA

I'm a first timer here at ROMA MIA, recommended by Shoti and Mama.  They have the good grilled pork chop, according to syoti. We were in Ayala last sunday, so why not eat there. We were gutom na gutom. It was past lunch time na nung natapos ang appointments namin. The place is ok. Since mga 2pm na nun, they have only two customers. 

For starter, we ordered calamari, unfortunately their squid got spoiled na daw. So instead, we ordered pasta.

Puttanesca. (From the word puttanata, a noun means something worthless or something easy to prepare).  I was chatting with Sir J early that morning at FB about my wedding and how I wanted him to sing on that day.. I order this pasta because of him.  When he cooked Puttanesca for the choir.  I wasn't a fan of pasta, I don't like tomatoes or too much tomatoes (made my stomach upset) but Sir J's Puttanesca is still one of the best pasta I ever tasted.  Even though I'm allergic to anchovies I had one plate of his cooking.

Recommended by shoti, Godfather Chop (grilled pork chop). its thicker than the usual porkchop we had at home yet its juicy and tender.
Tuna belly for my achi. no comments in this one. nothing special I think.
Summer Cooler.

Spice Fusion, BTC

Plain Roti; Favorite Starter
Went to Banilad Town Center today for mani and pedi.. While waiting my sis decided to get a haircut too at Salon de Rose.


And had our dinner at...
Spice Fusion is one of the Asian Restaurant here in Cebu that me and my siblings visit when we were craving for Asian Cuisine.  It serves all kinds of Asian cuisine, fusion.


Although, we encountered some problem in the SM branch.


Raddish Cake topped with Garlic
Claypot Lapu-Lapu
Mint Green Tea; uhh... I don't like the taste!! the strong minty flavor of the tea gave bitterness after taste.  I can't explain it in words tho.. it's like they put too much Eucalyptus..

Johnny's Fish and Co.: Cebu's version of Fish&Co.

My Monday bonding with Achi, we went to Parkmall to buy some office stuffs.  Yes, I usually go to Parkmall to buy office supply and of course, eat. After I paid my MB credit card, my sis and I looked for a place to eat... and we saw Johnny Depp!!! (haha, kidding) i mean "Johnny's Fish and Co."


So, this is Johnny Depp.. hehe. cute!! We love the interior of the restaurant and the old ship theme.

Cebu's version of Fish&Co., but more affordable than the original. 


Mine is the Sarsi while sis decided to have bottomless Iced tea. But when you order  for a coca cola brand they will served your drinks in a CocaCola glass (like those 25 php Coca Cola glass from Mcdo)


Appetizer.  Farmers Rolls.. Sorry Johnny but this is no good. I'm ok with fresh uncooked sprouts. I already had this one in Lemongrass,  and lemongrass served this with kani meat and yours with shrimp. but the sad part is you only gave us one shrimp (for plating? ) for five rolls.

My fish&Chip rather fish&rice (I don't eat fries for lunch). It's really taste like Fish&Co., even look like Fish&Co., the breading and tastes with tartar sauce. It made me wonder though. hmmm...  But for a price of Php 150.00, ok na!
I like COK's fish chips better! ordinary and plain.

Surf & Turf. Ngayon ko lang nalaman na "surf and turf"means combination of steak and seafood. hmm.. I like it! Surf & Turf!! and I like this Surf & Turf (lamb and shrimp). I don't like lamb but the taste was yummy. kahit na walang gravy.



This is better than Fish&Co., because? It's Cheaper!

Coffee Cat serves frozen yogurt as well


Red Mango, meet Cebu's Coffee Cat.

 My friends told me that I must try the yogurt or yogo. Ironically, this coffee shop is known for it's frozen yogurt. So, i was wondering "why the yogo not the coffee."

Coffee Cat is situated in IT Park, Cebu. few blocks away from The Walk.

When we arrived, "it's like Starbucks for the first time," no seat available.  People, young and old, gathered having yogo and coffee, and some with their laptops. I was also fascinated with their cakes but my friends told me that it's not lami (delicious). I ordered one hot cafe mocha and one large original flavored yogo with 2 toppings, that i would be sharing with my little bro. For our toppings, I chose Oreo cookies and my bro was mango. Here's my fave part.. the taste!! yogo tasted like manila's Red Mango. the coffee was not your ordinary coffee. It wasn't Starbucks but it's goooood.  As may li'l Bro had said, "may sipa!"

Available toppings for the Yogo
Large Yogo 145.00php + 2 toppings 30.00php
