FIRESIDE by KETTLE: Now Open in BGC

Humongous Chicken. With all its glory, I believe that Chef Chiloy of Kettle and Fireside made his restaurants into something wonderful and worthwhile. Just a month or so ago, he went above and beyond by opening FIRESIDE in BGC. His second branch for this restaurant concept, you could say that he is having a grand time.
Situated on the ground floor of the Central Square Mall in BGC, FIRESIDE is the younger and more playful cousin of Kettle. Here, they aim to cater to the young professional crowd that needs quick and delicious meals.
Different alcoholic drinks are present and are available for the diners. Some would enjoy their not so ordinary sangrias. Personal favorite would be the white version. It will go well with the different appetizers that FIRESIDE has to offer.
The chips mixed with truffle and bleu cheese is addicting and could make you get more and more. Partner it with some home made meatballs and you have yourself a whole meal in itself. One could also go for the chicken. With a little hint of spice, it's on the sweet side that would be perfect for the young kids and kids at heart.
The mains are a different treat in itself. You can't go wrong with whatever you pick. A crowd favorite would be the BRISKET SISIG. Being a non-pork dish, this has been an eye opener. A chef's secret, Chiloy mentioned to us that this needs to be partnered with egg and garlic rice. Each bite would remind you of that perfect day.
Adding more good things, one could also go for the meatloaf. It is a half and half of bacon and angus beef. A definite meat lovers delight. If that is not enough, the lamb ribs would also be just right.
As mentioned, people go here for the chicken. The CHICKEN FINGERS is a huge serving of deep fried buttermilk chicken. Coated with cajun ritz breading, you get a crunchy and satisfying bite each time. Served with cornbread doughnuts, you're surely to enjoy each piece.
Dessert is mix of must tries and must haves. There are different cakes that are baked in house. Some would give you that chocolate fix you've been wanting for the longest time. Others would be something lighter like made with coconut.
BUT if it comes down to choosing, SMORES and the DOUGHNUTS are your best bet. SMORES are served burnt and deadly. The doughnuts has salted caramel, raspberry and chocolate on the side.
Located on the ground floor of Central Square Mall in Bgc, Fireside by Kettle is a fiery and delicious way to entice guests to drink up and eat more. Definitely go for the happy hour sangrias!

FOOD CREW PH GOES LOCAL: A CEBU FOODIE ADVENTURE

Just last week a group of food filled minds went on over to CEBU and visited iconic restaurants that are well known and loved in the city down south. This is FOOD CREW PH GOES LOCAL.
Flights were care of CEBU PACIFIC. Hesitation was in my mind as it was the first time I had tried CEBU PACIFIC in years. Surprisingly, the flight was smooth and left on time. The flights were delayed at most 10-15minutes. Not bad if you ask me.
Accommodations were handled by ALBA UNO HOTEL. This hotel is located in the Cebu IT PARK making it within walking distance of different restaurants and offices. Transportation around the city was taken cared of by UBER. Honestly, I didn't know that UBER was already present in CEBU. Here, they operated proficiently and courteously. If in case you're a first time user like me, INPUT the promo code FOODINTHEBAG . This will give you PHP 200 off on your first two rides. Sweet!
After settling down, the first stop was CHOOBI CHOOBI. This restaurant has made a name out of itself as it uses fresh seafood to entice its patrons. Aside from being a heavy hitter in CEBU, they also have MANILA BRANCHES.
For a sweet delight, we head on over to TABLEA CHOCOLATE CAFE. Different sweet endings were presented with TABLEA as the center of the show.
For DINNER, ISLA SUGBO SEAFOOD CITY was the main attraction. Here, it was unlimited paluto or freshly cooked dishes buffet style. Just beside it, our second dinner was presented by TSAY CHENG. A Chinese Fine Dining restaurant that specializes with dimsum, patrons would be able to sit back and relax and enjoy everything.
The following day, breakfast was held over at HARBOUR CITY DIMSUM. Known for their steamed fried rice, this is every CEBUANOS idea of quick and delicious Chinese Food.
Just to prepare our tummies, snacks and caffeine were provided by TOM N TOMS COFFEE. A South Korean Franchise, this is CEBU'S version of a quick coffee getaway.
Dinner for the second night was held at HOUSE OF LECHON. Delicious mind blowing roasted pig were served alongside different dishes.
On the last day, an amazing FILIPINO lunch was prepared at ABASERIA. The ambiance is just amazing as this Bed and Breakfast place delivers a simple Cebuano Twist to Filipino Food.
As a treat, BOCAS had different pastries and sweet endings for everyone. Opened just a few months ago, it has created a following for incredible mouth watering desserts.

In the next few days, FOOD IN THE BAG would be featuring different restaurants that could make your next CEBU visit worth it.
