SEAFOOD CITY: Isla Sugbu in Cebu City

A visit to CEBU CITY brought out a few revelations. One of them is that Cebuano seems to be big on buffets. Since CEBU has access to fresh seafood, they like theirs cooked on the spot.
At ISLA SUGBU SEAFOOD CITY, this is what they do. Located in The Grand Convention Center, ISLA SUGBU SEAFOOD CITY makes quite an impression. The place is perfect for a quick family get together and even bigger occasions like birthdays and parties. They have an awesome spread that houses different live seafood, fresh meat and vegetables ready to be cooked based on your preference.
At a long table, freshly cut tuna heads greet the guests.
Just caught a few hours ago, other fishes were placed on ice. On the other end of the table, live crabs can be seen moving around.
The highlight of any visit though would have to be the live fresh lobsters on display. These babies are huge and are perfect for that grill.
Of course, pork barbecue and other traditional Filipino favorites are also on display ready for you to order and devour.
To start off, one could go for something healthy. Fresh vegetables stir fried in soy sauce could be your bet. A bit on the sweet side but each bite is crunchy and could help your coping mechanism for failing your diet.
Surprisingly, there are other dishes available that aren't on the long fresh buffet table. One of them would be these succulent oysters. You could have them fresh, baked or whichever way you want to eat them.
The LIEMPO is coated with a sweet blend of soy, sugar, and other spices that is very Filipino. The flavor is traditional and is a definite hit among the kids.
A crowd favorite would be these deep fried fish. Savory yet sweet, one bite in and you understand why freshness is an important part of flavor. Having been alive a few minutes ago, the guests get to experience the best flavor one could get from the dish. The coating is crunchy and the sauce gives it a bit of sweet and sour touch.
The main event would have to be the SLIPPER LOBSTERS. People with allergies might feel a bit jealous but the lobsters were placed on the table, you would see the anticipation in the air. One bite and then another. A generous seasoning of pepper and salt brought out the natural flavors of the lobster. Delicious.

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.

Radisson Blu's Feria:Breakfast & Lunch

Glorious food!!! Buffet Buffet Buffet!!!
A few weeks ago, my friend and I were staying at Radisson Blu Cebu Hotel. It was the hotel we picked out for our Cebu Escapade. (Click Here for my experience). Of course, my friend and I just had to visit this place for both breakfast and lunch! DUH!!!! It also helped that the breakfast buffet was inclusive of the room rates plus the lunch rate was priced at 50% off. Sulit!!!
Located just beside the front desk, Feria offers breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet.
 
They have a long line and a lot of dishes to offer. 
Salad and cheese.
 Bread also.
 They have a lot of hot dishes around.
 
 From Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Food to a grill station and a lot more.
 They have a lot of birds around too. From pecking ducks to chicken and other meats.
 
 You can ask them to make a pasta, pizza and even soup noodles.
 
They also have a Chinese Chef making fresh ones for you!
 So of course, I had to just post my dishes for you. Just to make you drool!!!!
 I love that they cut fresh sashimi up just for you.
Grabe sa sarap!
 As I said, they also had pasta and pizza which they freshly made.
 They also have a lot of dessert to choose from ... and even crepes and ice cream.
  They offered hot dishes and I was impressed that the kitchen staff were interactive. They really know how to please the diners. The food they serve has awesome quality. Although might be quite normal for some, they indeed covered their basis!! The price is a steal as you also get coffee or tea from it. Sadly though for those tempura lovers, they don't serve those but seriously!!! Super duper affordable!!!

 Now on to the breakfast!!!
 When we entered, we saw the usual bread, cereals, yogurt and assortments of juices around.
 They also got a lot of breakfast delight like bacon, hash brown, corned beef, and many more!!!
I especially liked their fried squid and fish... Crunchy stuff!!
 and yes, I got a lot of plates to show off:
As I mentioned, they got a lot to offer. From an assortment of sausages to bacon, tocino and a lot more.
 I also had the egg station make me a cheesy omelet!
 My friend though, went all ahead for the baked beans and everything!!!
 I tried to be a little healthy so I made my own salad.
 For dessert, I had a few dried mangoes, nuts and sweet pastries because you know I just had to chill from all the food I kept on stuffing in me.
Of course, I had coffee to end the meal. 

The staff was pretty attentive. They kept on going around refilling water, coffee and tea. They also cleared our tables promptly. It was pretty awesome to have breakfast in Radisson Blu every single day of our stay in Cebu.
