I'm not a food critic. However, I was fortunate enough to have discovered a hidden gastronomic treasure - GUMBOLOGY

New cuisine to satisfy our hunger... A new gastronomic experience. Let's try to be adventurous and it surely pays to be so. Try some good gumbo and have fun! 

 Upon arrival, I immediately noticed an attractive and yet, extremely colourful decor.

The mardi gras ambiance meant that our dining experience was going to be relaxing, fun and enjoyable.

 Lighting and furnishing bring a festive ambiance to its interior...

An eye-catching tissue holder

As for the food - well, we found it difficult to choose. The photo-style menu was well-designed and perfectly detailed. After talking to the friendly staff, me and my friends decided to order the more palatable favourites and specials:

Complementary Bread and Butter

Chicken Empanada w/ Salsa Verde

P118.00

Bolognese

P208.00

Pizza Favorite

P228

(The drinks were also refreshingly soothing)

Cucumber Juice for our Cooler

P128

This restaurant is the perfect spot for gumbo and pinoy food lovers . I was here with my friends/colleagues to experience gumbo in Cebu.

(We finished the dinner with more photos...)

We Got To Get The Whole Thing In The Shot.

My overall opinion is simple: Try it! The food was simply wonderful and I will definitely go back for another round of gumbo delights. Pricing is affordable and service is excellent and incredibly friendly. It is an excellent dining experience for the whole family, especially if you're thinking of having a party there. It is truly a unique experience that I've not seen or savoured anywhere else.

I recommend Gumbology to all those who want to wine, dine and enjoy the good things life has to offer.

✦Caffe Dara✦

So there goes my little talk about CAFFE DARA. 

Should you want to visit this shop, it is located in One Kenji Place, La Guardia St., Lahug, Cebu City and is less than 10 minutes away from Asia Town, IT Park. 

Another coffee shop adventure.. hehe ~ another chill-out place to stay. HOORAY!!! Today, I bring you CAFFE DARA! Another korean inspired cafe owned by a former student of mine Jun Kim and his ever drop-dead gorgeous sweetheart ♥ a friend and a former colleague of mine Alex. Whew!

Guys, you may want to add this to your list of cafes to visit. Everything is a must try!

Blu Bar & Grill

Incredible setting with very friendly and helpful hosts and very cozy atmosphere at a thousand feet high.

Last May 24, 2015 one of my very bestfriends "Jopay" celebrated her birthday and we decided to spend it in Marco Polo Plaza with my other bff  "Dahlia" for a night. I've been around the city but I have to admit that it was my first time to dine here. The restaurant is part of Marco Polo Plaza's famed places to go to or could be one of the reasons for you to visit the hotel.  

Reaching Marco Polo is not a problem. Almost all the cabs and travel agencies in Cebu knows the place. Well, if you are new here's the address (Cebu Veterans Drive, Nivel Hills, Cebu). I hope Google map is accurate.

The Experience.

The Blu Bar clamors with the banner, "Romance at 1,000 feet high".

A doorway to heaven.. haha~ 

These are what you can see inside the bar.

The rooftop "Blue Bar" is a great evening's entertainment. For starters even the elevator with its glass walls allow guests to take in the panoramic view on the way up (and down). The decor, as the name suggests, is lit with blue lighting.

It is very romantic and I would really love to go back up there and spend it with someone special.

Cheers to another life full of blessings!
Meet my besftfriends Jopay and Dahlia
