Cebu 101: Where to Stay, What to Eat and What to Do When In Cebu!

Go Food Trippin’!!!

 

When in Cebu, be sure to check out this relatively new restaurant which have been satisfying almost 2,000 hungry tummies on a daily basis!! Yeah 2,000!! Would you believe??? But yeah, who could ever resist not dining  on a floating restaurant while the sun sets?? I consider this as one of the most romantic places to dine in the Philippines!

 indulge onto Lantaw’s delicious yet very affordable seafood dishes!

 

Cebu Lechon:

When in Cebu, it’s a MUST to experience their very own signature lechon! Whenever you wander a place, be sure to hunt for authentic flavors and delicacies! Nothing beats the REAL THING! 

We did a sort of survey for the BEST CEBU Lechon and majority voted for the Lechon at CNT which is considered as the pride of Cebuanos! Good thing their address wasn’t that difficult to find! =)

Now that’s a LOT of Lechon!

 We ordered only a quarter of a kilo which costed less than 200php I think

 The Verdict: For “authentic” styles like these, all we can ever do is appreciate it for what it was but if I were to really compare it with other brands, I’d say I still prefer my favorite Hecky’s Oven Baked Lechon for it’s very crispy skin and tender meat!

 

 

Enjoy Street Food at Larsian along Fuente!

Miss eating BBQ and Isaw? Head to Larsian BBQ: Cebu’s most famous spot for street food!

  

Face your fears! Do something which scares you!!

 

Every journey must be enriching not only to the senses but most of all to the soul. Each time we wander, we always make sure to learn new life lessons and conquer our fears! If you wanna conquer your fear of heights, the SKY Experience Adventure is definitely the best place to go to! This is the 1st and only in the country and you can only find it in Cebu so when in Cebu, NEVER MISS THIS CHANCE!

 The Sky Walk Extreme

I believe this is the most daring thing I’ve done which had something to do with my fear of heights. Imagine walking at the edge of the 38 -storey building!  I enjoyed this a lot better since our guide, Denver gave us some really cool infos about the history of Cebu. If you wanna see the whole of Cebu and understand it more, I believe this is the best place to go to!

 You can also get to meet friendly animals like this cute tiger by the name of Mactan who was quite shy that day!

We highly recommend this place to everyone!!!

  

When we got back to Crimson Mactan after that long busy day, we couldn’t help but take a dip at one of their infinity pools! The night was lovely as ever! *sigh*

The Morning After…..

 

It was one of those moments when it was soooo difficult to say goodbye… but then again, we were thankful for being there and thankful that we made the right choice in staying at Crimson Mactan!

 Crimson Mactan is heaven!

 meet the wonderful staff! Til our next visit!

  

As our plane drove the hanger awaiting take off,  I found myself literally in tears as if I lost a lover….  I yearn for more of Cebu like a thirst that’s unquenchable.   I miss how  Crimson Mactan cradled us with such comfort and how it made us feel like we had a home… That ideal home which only existed in our heads.

You will never really run out of places to visit in the Philippines and it sure is great to witness and experience them first hand and to serve as ambassadors  in promoting our own country! We’re at the prime of our lives and LIVING IT! We just really hope that more locals can get to see these natural wonders! If only all Filipinos would realize and appreciate how blessed our land is, I’m sure we’d all have a different and better perspective on things.

 once again we were at the right place at the right time…..

with our 1st adventure out of Luzon, I guess it’s safe to say that we have now officially leveled ourselves up as travel and adventure junkies! I wonder where we’ll wander next!! Better book another Cebu Pacific flight asap!!
