One of the best places to relax on a sunny afternoon is at Casa Verde’s where you can enjoy their mouth watering rib racks and their sumptuous feasts-on-a-plate. For starters, we had karlamari, shrimp pesto cream and watermelon salad. The appetizers were followed closely by …
From the outside, Harubang is a peaceful place that offers a number of korean dishes anyone can sample. It doesn’t disappoint though, not to mention the affordability and the satisfaction you can get from your dining experience. We arrived around 6:30 in the evening and was seated in one of the few available tables since several other spaces were occupied by groups of merrymaking Koreans.
Other than the noise that they made, we were satisfied by the all you can eat beef short plate that all three of us (my sister, my brother and myself) enjoyed. Surprisingly, it is much cheaper than the cost of the food in Chosun Galbi, the korean resto house we frequent. Perhaps we just visited at a wrong time.
They didn’t have that cold noodle that I enjoy quite a lot however. 🙁

The food is great, but I can’t dine in peace with that much noise. It brings down the ambiance that you’re paying for, especially if you’re used to little noise when you’re eating.
The new Max’s Fried Chicken has a refreshing feel to it after its renovation as well as relocation. It seems to me that it has undergone an image change to attract customers, young and old alike. Of course, after 30 or so years in operation here in the Philippines, they haven’t changed a lot.

Situated near the outskirts of ayala cebu’s active zone, Pepper Steak is the Cebu equivalent of Pepper Lunch from Manila. We visited this diner for a meal one sunny afternoon, with hopes that we woulnt be ignored for the third time since we visited the place. Our hopes were answered once we entered the establishment and had been guided towards our seat. We had two orders of beef pepper steak and an order of beef curry steak with accompanying bottomless iced tea.
The ambiance was a bit off despite being in order, not to mention that several waitresses spent their idle time with gossip and chatter. The redeeming factor of this restaurant was that our brief stay there was never without having to request for a drink refill (the women behind the counter energetically filled our glasses non stop. Maybe because their manager was nearby?)
The food was satisfying enough, I had the lingering scent of curry on my finger tips for the next hour.

I still haven’t forgotten about the last two times they didn’t attend to us. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt.
Pepper lunch is a popular Japanese sizzling place in glorietta 5. You can see a slightly long line outside the restaurant between 11 am until 1 pm for their food. Just at the entrance, anyone can take in the scrumptious smell of meat and fish …

After pigging out yesterday at saisaki’s all you can eat buffet in glorietta with four days left before my graduation, I was asked to pick from the short list of the best burgers in town. Interestingly, army navy ranked second in my list, and so our rendezvous was decided.
This small burger joint was located within minutes frm the vicinity of our hotel. I was a little surprised that they had a short menu list of burgers, burritos, tortillas and shakes as well as a few more sidings. Of course, I don’t want to judge a restaurant by it’s menu list since I know several eateries with a specialized menu of very few items for sale.
Army navy burger take pride in their quarter pound patties. Their burritos are top notch as well. Unlike popular choices like jollibee and Mickey d’s, they have pure beef patties that will be remembered by anyone who tastes them. Each burger comes with tomato slices, lettuce, mayo and ketchup. Of course, hot sauce depends on the diner’s discretion
