Tapas at Ibiza Beach Club, Mövenpick Hotel Mactan
My first dinner in Cebu was in Ibiza Beach Club at Mövenpick Hotel Mactan. I was told we were having tapas and that’s always a good thing. A short stroll from the hotel lobby to the end of this lighted walkway was Ibiza Beach Club, my favorite place in the entire hotel. Ibiza Beach Club isContinue reading “Tapas at Ibiza Beach Club, Mövenpick Hotel Mactan”

Mr Chaplin originally intended to useContinue reading “Brunch at Campanile”
Dinner at Fig & Olive
Whenever I travel I make it a point to research on which restaurants to try.

She knows all the best places to eat at in L.A.I’ve never heard ofContinue reading “Dinner at Fig & Olive”

Lunch at Cerchio
It was only fitting that I eat at Cerchio with Jane and Mila since I was with them too when I ate at Romulo Cafe, the sister restaurant of Cerchio. While Romulo Cafe served Filipino food Cerchio was a mish mash of Filipino, Asian and Mediterranean cuisine. Ivy Almario did a wonderful job converting thisContinue reading “Lunch at Cerchio”

After appetizers at Sumo Sam my college buddies and I moved to Cyma for our main meal. Cyma is one of those restaurants where I know I can always get a good and consistent meal. It’s been around for several years and is still going strong. The dip was very garlicky and tasted like creamContinue reading “Dinner at Cyma”
