for dessert?

ewww

Jag

no they serve more than just dessert there. name was coined after cheesecake factory in the US which also has a full menu. the bbq pork belly is really good. prices there are typical cebuano= good value for money.

i also enjoyed Tong's buffet. all you can eat fresh and baked oysters and other seafood for P125 i think.

would try Aristocrat tonight... never been to any of their branches...

 

[iris_ice]

it's a corruption of "shoot to kill"... they give you a pellet gun and make you run around the nearby fields and forest... whatever you kill they can cook up for you...

sometimes you get lucky: deer, wild boar, some chickens... most days: field rats, kalapati... when you get frustrated you can go to jollibee...

my friend honestly thought you were serious that would've been fun!

so i'm down with lighthouse, golden cowrie, abuhan, dessert factory and tong's buffet. thanks, guys! can't wait.

I prefer Alex d'III, Mags. Try Savory Chicken too (MOA, Hypermart in Pasig), absolutely better than MAX fried chicken.

If you guys havent tried it out yet, Freska (Promenade Mall in Greenhills) serves great Ilonggo food. There are Freska branches at Tiendesitas and somewhere along Katipunan Ave too.

I love pretty much everything they serve and its cool that there's finally an Ilonggo cuisine resto in Manila that serves something other than batchoy and inasal.

My personal favorite is their Managat sa Papillote

When will you be in Cebu? I'll be there on the 20th and 21st before heading to S. Leyte..

@Armand, you interested going diving on the 21st?

Countryside along Katipunan. Beachhouse in UP Diliman is awesome for the barbeque.



@ Anna:

Average meals cost P120-450 depending where you go and what you order.

Regarding getting your money changed in Canada, there's a Philippine National Bank in Vancouver. I think you can get a global money card from them so you can withdraw money. I'm not too sure on the specific details, but here is they're address in Vancouver:

Thanks as always for the info, Chip! I'll look into the money card but since the big expenses will be paid with Visa, I'm thinking I can get away with bringing cash with me.
