If you're looking for a buffet place in Cebu with tasty Filipino cuisine, perfect ambience and at a good price point, then Sugbufé is the place for you.  Not to mention, they serve Lechon every dinner - now that's definitely a plus, especially if you have guests visiting from outside of Cebu. We, Filipinos, really love our bonding time with the whole family - I mean, literally the entire family, especially during special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries, so it's unlikely that we celebrate alone.  A great option for these events is to go a buffet place where we could say goodbye to our diet for a while an indulge in good food.  But really, most of us don't have the luxury to eat at a buffet place where most of the menu are our favorites and wouldn't hurt our pockets. Luckily, we found this buffet place that serves local cuisine, which has good reviews, price worthy and serves lechon.  Yes, you read it right, lechon.  Who doesn't crave fo...

Lately, it has been a periodic change of weather - sunny, rainy, sunny, rainy. Mostly, it's the gloomy one. But don't get me wrong. I love the bed weather.

It is also said to prevent cancer, or perhaps even cure it.  So, see, there's a lot of plus in eating this plant. So, here's my take on a recipe which uses turmeric.

Early morning yum. Nowadays, most individuals are growing more health conscious; watching what they eat, exercise, and some other health regimen. People are becoming more and more keen towards their outlook about health in general. For most Filipinos, like me, rice is something that is stable on the table - breakfast, lunch, dinner. But sometimes, you just want to munch on something different. Something sweet? Yes! Something healthy? Most definitely! A fast and easy alternative would be some toast and apples. I love apples! They're sweet and crunchy, plus the added nutrition, too. Who wouldn't want that? Antioxidants and dietary fibers that apples contain would be so fab to have. And of course, do have some bread to gain energy for your morning routines.  But let's take it up a notch, and let's make a simple apples and toast exciting. CARAMELIZED APPLES Prep Time: 5 mins. Cooking time: 15-20 mins. Ingredients: 1 piece apple - sliced into cubes  1/...

Craving for something Mexican? That Latino flavor? That smoky and spicy goodness? Or, do you want to try out something new perhaps? Then go and visit MexiMama in Mabolo, Cebu City. Try their flavorsome dishes for just the right price. They have a wide variety of dishes to choose from - from quesadillas to tacos, to burritos, to various sides, and to their savory main dishes. Surely, you'll never get enough of it. I still dream of that aromatic, zesty, spicy, mouthwatering barbecue taste. Ugh! I can't! I must eat it again! Scrumptious food it is. Also, their serving for the main dishes are huge. When my husband and I went there for the first time, it was enough for us to share on one main dish and have an order of tacos.
