Resto Review: Zubuchon, Cebu

Cebu is well-known for their lechon and one of the must-try places to go when in Cebu is Zubuchon. 

Zubuchon has been featured in many newspapers, magazines and shows like "Ang Pinaka", so we definitely wouldn't want to miss eating here.

After roaming around SM City, we went to Zubuchon, Mango Ave. branch to have our lunch. It is located along General Maxilom Avenue. You can see a whole roasted pig upon entering the restaurant.

They have a wide variety of food in their menu. They also offer fast meals good for one person ranging from Php 100 to 160.

I was looking forward to trying out their Kamias Shake but unfortunately it was not available that day. The waiter suggested for us to try the Duhat Shake (Php 95) instead. The Duhat Shake was refreshing. I don't really remember how a Duhat tastes like but my husband confirmed that it really tasted like one. If you are adventurous with food, you must try this one.

For our soup, we chose their Monggo with Zubuchon (Php 190). It tastes like any monggo soup but was less salty. The soup has an added crunch because of some chicharon. It also had bits of kalabasa (squash) which was surprising but it works.

And finally, our main course was their original Zubuchon (Php 530/kilo). We ordered only half kilo but it was still too much for just two person. The skin was crunchy and the meat was so tender and juicy. The meat was not salty and my husband can taste hints of lemon grass.

We were not able to finish the half kilo of lechon so we had our left-overs to go.

Overall, it was a very satisfying meal and we would love to come back and try their other food items on the menu.

5D4N Cebu-Bohol Itinerary and Budget 2014

To kick off summer, we went to explore the beach of Bohol with a side trip to Cebu City.

The trip was not really planned for, we only decided to push through because AirAsia was offering promo fares. Our fare would have been a lot cheaper if we bought round trip tickets for Cebu but for convenience we booked our return ticket for Tagbilaran instead.

Product Review: Westinghouse Induction Cooker

Some time last year, Meralco started campaigning for the usage of Induction Heat Cookers to their consumers. They have illustrated that using an Induction Heat Cooker is energy efficient and one would be able to save more rather than using LPG cookers. They also explained how safe it is to use since there will be no flame and there will also be no risk of gas leakage. You may read more about their campaign here.

Resto Review: Kimpura, Greenhills, San Juan

After shopping in Greenhills complex, we went to Kimpura to have our dinner. It's located in the ground floor of Unimart Building.

Misadventures in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

We recently went to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia together with our office mates. However, we were not able to plan our itinerary since everyone was busy with work. So we just went with the flow and went to anywhere our feet (and train) can take us.
