House of Lechon [CEBU Food Trip]

They say that a visit in Cebu would not be complete without trying one of the delicacies that Cebuanos are most proud of – Lechon. So naturally, trying out one of the best lechon in all of Cebu was included in the itinerary of our Cebu Food Crawl with the Food Crew PH. Hence, on our second day, dinner time was spent at House of Lechon.

House of Lechon is famous for their lechon specific of a place called Carcar. There are a lot of popular brands of lechon in Cebu and it is said that House of Lechon is one of them.

And I never wonder why it is tagged as one of the most popular because upon trying out their roasted pork offering, I immediately figured it definitely is one of the best of all the Cebu lechon I have tried in the past.

Choobi Choobi Restaurant [CEBU Food Trip]

It was almost lunch time when we arrived in Cebu during the Cebu Food Crawl with the Food Crew PH. Some of us are already starving, so, right after checking into our hotel and freshening up a bit, we went our merry way to the first restaurant stop of our first day in Cebu – Choobi Choobi Restaurant.

Choobi Choobi Restaurant has been in the business for quite a while. Good quality seafood, generous serving portion, and price tag that do no break the bank are some of the reasons why Choobi Choobi Restaurant is one of the most famous restaurants in Cebu.

There are several Choobi Choobi Restaurant branches in all of Cebu and they are located at Mactan, SM City, SM Seaside City, Robinsons Cyberspace Cebu, Robinsons Galleria Cebu, Parkmall, Pueblo Verde, and Mactan Newtown. And just recently, they have finally opened a branch here in Manila.

Robinsons Supermarket "Give Wellness" Promo

Last weekend, Robinsons Supermarket launched its Give Wellness promo held at the open park of Eastwood Mall in Libis. Good food, fun games and activities, and entertainment filled the exciting afternoon hosted by none other than Kuya Tonipet Gaba. Media, bloggers, and guests were treated to a delightful experience as Robinsons Supermarket officially announced the Give promo that will run from November 1 to December 31 of this year.

The Give promo is the culmination of Robinsons Supermarket’s year-long Route to Wellness campaign which encourages everyone to go on a wellness journey while collecting premium items and gift certificates from Robinsons Supermarket.

The Route to Wellness campaign started with “Explore” in March, “Learn” in May, and this time around, it is all about “Give” which is perfect for the season as Robinsons Supermarket leads the way for its customer to rediscover the meaning of sharing and giving back to the community.

Cebu Food Tour with Food Crew PH #FoodCrewPHGoesLocal

Where to eat when in Cebu? What are the best restaurants in Cebu? What are the new restaurants in Cebu? Where to find the best lechon Cebu? How is the food scene in Cebu? Is it fun to go on a food trip in Cebu? These are just some of the questions I had in mind and fortunately was able to answer when I joined the Cebu Food Tour with the Food Crew PH recently.

Truth be told and not to offend anyone, I have several favorite places in the Philippines (Palawan is the current apple of my eye, food trip blog posts soon!) and Cebu is not really something I am too enthusiastic to visit. I guess it is because of the notion that it is just another Manila. This tour however show me of the delicious charm that The Queen City of the South has.

This is the first time that I am writing about Food Crew PH here at YedyLicious hence, an introduction is in order.

Wolfgang's Steakhouse Philippines at Resorts World Manila

It was a lunch gathering I almost missed, my first visit at Wolfgang's Steakhouse Philippines located at the Newport Mall of Resorts World Manila. Good thing that I got friends who share the same affinity for manly meat and who are considerate enough to knock some sense to me that luncheon such as this should not be missed - I am lucky.

And of course, any self-respecting meat lover wouldn't pass on the chance to dine at critically acclaimed steakhouse from New York City and is said to be the first and the only steakhouse in the country which has its own dry aging room.

Much has been said about Wolfgang's Steakhouse by Wolfgang Zwiener since it opened its first branch here in the Philippines. Its history is quite impressive since Wolfgang Zwiener boasts of 40 years experience as a head waiter at the famous Peter Luger's steakhouse in New York.

Sulok Café, Antipolo City

Sulok Café is one of the newest cafe / restaurants in Antipolo City that just opened recently. It offers variety of cafe grubs such as sandwiches, pasta, salads, as well as rice meals alongside different coffee concoctions proudly curated for Sulok Café diners.  With variety of dishes and drinks on the menu, coupled with free wifi and a decent ambiance, Sulok Café can be a perfect hang out place where you can find your own favorite corner - or as they say, sulok.

I visited Sulok Café recently and based on my experience, I must say that Sulok Café rightfully deserve to be included on my Antipolo Food Trip Blog Series. 

Stepping inside Sulok Café, the thing that I noticed first was the artistic vibe it has. While it is not really an art cafe, the walls peppered with scribbles by Sulok Café's customers will make you think otherwise. 

Kings & Pawns Board Game Cafe, Marikina City

There is a noticeable proliferation of board game cafes these days and one of those that recently opened is Kings & Pawns Board Game Cafe located in Marikina City. There are a lot of homegrown restaurants and cafes in Marikina City but Kings & Pawns is one of the first few board game cafes in the area. 

Just like any other board game cafes, Kings & Pawns offers variety of board games alongside number of food items that diners may enjoy while playing. What sets them apart however is that there is no time/game limit nor minimum order needed to enjoy board games on this cafe.

There are only few board games that I get to enjoy but give me good food choices and I will certainly be there. So I visited Kings & Pawns one afternoon to check out their offerings.
