Soooo sorry for the very very very late update! I am back in school right now and we are all so busy and stressed with school work. Being in school mode doesn’t give much time to update my blog considering my course is quite intensive which means we’ve got projects due every single week. Nope, not exaggerating.

Anyway, before I came back to school, I had a chance to go back home to Cebu for around 11 days. Wish I could’ve stayed longer but school calls. Missed a week of it actually. Why? Because my brother got married! Woohooooo!!! Congrats to them! <3 I wished I had a chance to cook or bake something while in my own kitchen but unfortunately, with all the pre-wedding stress around the house, I couldn’t. Boo.

Instead, I hung out with my friends who were in Cebu. Ate at places I hadn’t had the chance to eat at for a long time and basically had a chill mini vacation. [Miss you guys already! :( Can’t wait til June!]

So firstly, my family and I ate at Bistro Ecila. I recommended the place to my family after my friend took us out there to eat for her birthday last year. Everything we ordered tasted great! I would recommend the Italian Sausage Pasta (not sure if that was the actual name)! My sister ordered it and I was tempted to finish her plate.

Next, Trish, Alyssa and I ate at Tajimaya for our meat fix. Eat all you can grilled beef or chicken for P350 and additional costs for rice and drinks. We paid around P500 total each which is about $12 dollars. Worth every penny, seriously. I prefer the beef over the chicken and trust me that you’ll be ordering extra bowls of rice!

Moving on, Roch, Mons and I ate at Maya, a mexican restaurant which happens to be next door to Tajimaya. I’ve been hearing lots of great stuff about the place but I’ve never had the chance to eat there. It’s a bit on the pricey side especially for students like me. The food was very good and tasty. I’ve never really ate authentic Mexican food before so I didn’t really know what to expect. But I’m glad I went and finally got a taste! Favorites were the quesadilla, the hot wings and the burrito.

Lastly, for dessert, we went to La Marea. This cafe is very well known for its Warm Brownie Cup topped with Vanilla Ice Cream. I remember my family used to order loads of these to take back to the house. Yup, that good. Sometimes makes me wonder how many they make everyday since I’m pretty sure the demand is quite high.

So, that’s it from me for now. If you do come and visit my hometown, the lovely City of Cebu, don’t leave without trying these places!
