MABUHAY!
This is a photo and video journal of my business
travel to Cebu featuring some of the memorable places I've been to and food trips around the city.
CHECK IN AT FUENTE ORO HOTEL
I checked in several times in this nice and cozy hotel. It is located in the heart of the city center of Cebu just 5 minutes walk to Fuente Osmena Circle (included in their logo) therefore very accessible to tourist spots, malls, food centers and the like.

PUNGKO- PUNGKO AND OTHER STREET FOODS
Pungko-pungko is Cebu's rendition of fast food. The street stalls offer a variety of finger foods like fried lumpia rolls, pork intestines and pork chop that are loaded in a basket for the customers to pick their choice. The grilled version offers grilled chicken, longaniza or chorizo, grilled chicken intestines, and other chicken organs. The rice is wrapped in coconut leaves locally known as "puso". You can eat with your bare hands covered with plastic since there is no available water to wash your hands.
 |
| Sweet corn |
 |
| Melon juice |
 |
| Rice wrapped in coconut leaves known as "puso" Prices ranges around Php 3 & Php 4 depending on the size |
 |
