San Jose Bakeshop should be in my top three personal bakeshop list. I like their tasty bread.

After a tiring photowalk around Guadalupe, I stopped by for a quick snack, and was blessed San Jose Bakeshop was just nearby.

My favourite bread, brown and a bit hard on the outside, and of course Sparkle!

Me and my church friends went to Tara’s Cafe to ate our dinner at 10:00pm.

The more than a hundred peso price of each meal was worth it. The taste is so gooood. I would love to go back to dine at Tara’s Cafe.

This set was shot before we went to Bubble Bee.

The dining area. Yes, we paid for these wonderful ambiance as well.

The place is good for dating. Yeah! Hahaha..

I ordered a pasta, because it’s cheaper. Hahah grabe ka kuripot nako no? I think this is P135.00.

My drink. It’s not alcoholic.

I forgot the price of this juice.

It think this is Tom’s Long Spareribs, worth P179.00

Cesar’s Salad, 90 pesos. My friend’s because he is on a diet. Dya ka!

It was my first to hangout in an unusual atmosphere. They serve tea drinks of various types. The usual hot tea, cold tea and the shake, they call it the “Slush”.

Me and my friends ordered the Slush.

I think the prices are okay. The taste of the shake we ordered was good.

Bubble Bee is located in Ground Floor, TSI Building, Ouano Avenue, North Reclamation Area, Mandaue City, Cebu

Larsian used to be a restaurant back in the 1970s, and is a combination of two names of twin sisters Pilar and Siana.

Presently, Larsian is place of barbecue stalls. Cebu is known for its delicious lechon and sinugba meat and fish. Sinugba (Sugba) is a Cebuano word for grilled or barbecue fish or meat.

In all honestly, I don’t like the present setup of Larsian because it basically contains the smoke of the grilled food, and after eating one would come out smelly.

This branch is filled with many people in the afternoons. Not good if you’re into quite atmosphere. Good if you also like watching other people inside, hehe.

Taking a break after shooting around Park Mall. Will post those set, in the next few days.

Bo’s Coffee is a fully Cebuano owned company which started in 1996 in Ayala Center Cebu. It has now about 50 outlets all over the Philippines.

I also had a similar post back in 2009, Bo’s Coffee at Ayala Center.

The exterior of Bo’s Coffee. It used to be Bo’s Coffee Club, they removed “Club”, probably too mouthful for a brand.

I prefer cold coffee, and my favorite oatmeal cookie.

After walking along Salinas Drive in the morning. I went inside JCA to eat my morning snack.

As far as I could remember JCA was first put up in the 1990s. I could not find any information online about their history and background.

The facade and entrance of JCA. This is their main branch.

JCA has a WIFI.

JCA’s menu. I ordered a Cheese pizza worth 37 pesos only.

According to online reviews, JCA’s Magic pizza tastes good.

JCA also has pasta, cakes and sandwiches.

Also desserts!

I was their first customer of the day.

Looks like a 60s inspired design.

Here is my cheese pizza and ice tea.

We took our friend, Grace to Neo Neo in Juan Luna Avenue in Mabolo. I did not eat, because I just ate at Jo’s Chicken, posted in the previous article.

Neo Neo is one of the most popular grill restaurants in Cebu City. Their main branch is in Salinas Drive in Lahug. It was almost midnight, so there were few customers. But in their main branch, it is practically always full, regardless of the time.

Chicken, beef, pork, fish, crabs, just pick what you want, and the staff will cook it for you.

Remembering the teenage years and the college days is priceless. Going back to the place where I used to hang out and recalling what I and my classmates used to do is something money could not buy.

I miss Payag ni Badong. Every USC-TC college students back in the 1990s would feel the same way. Their delicious food is missed. The service and the friendship provided by the eatery owner made me come back, and others too.

Some of those patron who were teenagers back then, revisit Payag ni Badong to reminisce the past and of course, to eat the well cooked food.

I believe even those who did not graduate in University of San Carlos had their own favorite places they used to hang out. If you want to me shoot your favorite hang out, just go to the Request to Shoot page.

The road to Payag ni Badong.

The portal to Payag ni Badong. A classmate jokingly said that the steps at the entrance was his favorite area to study his lessons. Yeah, right!

They serve Lomi, pancit canton, batchoy. Batchoy and pancit canton was my favorite.

The dining area of Payag ni Badong.

The menu. Batchoy used to cost less than 15 pesos during the 1990s.

Another list of their food.

The lababo. My favorite area of this eatery, hehehe.

The breakfast food are basically the same back in our time. Corned beef, hotdog, fried egg etc.

The team behind Payag ni Badong: Marvin, Malou, Badong, Cheche and Maimai (not in photo).

Another restaurant in Cebu City worth visiting for over and over is Casa Verde. The taste is so good, and the price is just right. Prepare 250 pesos for one person.

I ate in the V. Ranudo Extension at around 11:00 in the morning. This is their main branch, and their other branches are in IT Park and Ayala Terraces.

To get to the Ranudo branch, just go to Velez College in F. Ramos street or Arlington Pond street. Then when you’re just ask around where Casa Verde is.

Here is the telephone number of Casa Verde: +63.32.253-8234

See the location map of Casa Verde below the page.

This the main gate entrance of Casa Verde, V. Ranudo Extension.

Parking lot of Casa Verde. In my estimate, it could accommodate about 15 vehicles.

This is my favorite dining area. Open air. They also have air-conditioned dining rooms.

Bar area, just next to where I sit.

The bottle of St. James water looks like it was imported from abroad. But this product is Cebu made.

I forgot the name of this food! Ha! But I paid less than 200 pesos including the bottled water.

Was at Giligan’s Island in The Terrraces in Ayala with friends. I really liked their food. I first tasted their food in Manila.

While waiting for our food, i saw the the sign below. Then when I looked outside, i saw two white foreigners drinking liquor and the other one wearing shorts. The tables outside are still part of Giligan’s Island.

The stupid sign.

A testament that indeed Pinoys worship the foreigners, especially the blond ones.

White foreigners reading this blog, please don’t be offended, it’s the Filipinos’ inconsistency is what i don’t like.
