Mandaue City - It was a fine Friday night, when my friends decided to go out for a dinner. I had heard about this eat-all-you-can from my other friends and also from some advertisements. The place is very accessible as its located just along the road of A.S. Fortuna St. Banilad, Mandaue City. Just between Volvo and Hyundai. The entrance was decorated with different colors of LED lights that makes the place so elegant upon entering.

During our visit, there are only 2 groups including us who was there so the place was sort of perfect for us to have our bonding. The dining place is so wide and allocated with lots of chairs and tables. They also have this mini playground kids to keep them occupied while you enjoy your meal. We were also entertained by their dancing Panda mascot who gave us a wonderful dance number such as Twerk it like Miley!




The food they prepare is more on Chinese style including siomai, lumpia, steamed rice and etc. They even had a Chinese style adobo which surprised me so much. They had various of desserts too that you'll surely love.



The price is P259 per person and if you'd like to have a bottomless iced tea you'll just had to add up P35 per person. They also have this 5 + 1 promo where if there will be a birthday celebrant within the month among the 6 persons will be treated for FREE. Just bring a valid I.D. as for their basis.

The restaurant is open from 11:00 AM - 2:30 PM (Lunch) and 6:00 PM - 10:00 PM (Dinner). Also check their Facebook page for more details!

If you are planning to unwind this weekend I personally advise Vista Mar. A Spanish-inspired resort situated at Mactan, Lapu-lapu City. The place is very accessible either from Cebu City or from Mactan International Airport. The place is swarmed with brilliantly smiling staffs whom is very grateful to accommodate your needs. They have a lot of promotions that will surely fit your budget.

Personally, I had lived in Mactan for about 2 months but I really have no idea this paradise exist just a walking-distance from our apartment. When we went there with my fellow Toastmasters for a day-tour for our team building I was very mystified by the place.


They have number of pools. The dining place is very likely. The beach is blessed with fine grain of white sand. The seawater is so crystal blue that is comparable to the pools they have. While swimming on the pool, you can enjoy the beauty of the horizon. The famous Olango Island is also visible from the place. 


If you are asking for the price for the day-tour, I suggest to visit the place by weekend since it's much cheaper compare to weekdays. the fee is inclusive with a buffet and the usage of the pool.

Weekdays : P 600 / person

Weekends: P 500 / person

The food is also Spanish - inspired. Well I'm not very good at food tasting but I guess it's somehow taste like Spanish just basing the spices they use. If you are in a team, it's more advantage if your numbers is about 30 - 50 since they will prepare an inclusive buffet and they prepare an exclusive place for you. Our experience was we are only around 20 pax so our food are served in plates already but we are still entitled of place exclusive for us. They also prepare the stage and the sound systems.


How to get there? If you are from Cebu City, ride a jeepney from Hi-way Mandaue which route is going to Mactan or Soong. Then, ask the driver to drop you by the Mactan New Town. There is a small road beside the Mactan New Town where you can ride Tricycles going to the entrance of the resort. If you prefer less struggle, then hire a taxi! Have a great stay there!

"I've Never Met a Chocolate I didn't like. This includes the famous Chocolate Hills of Bohol."

Bohol, Philippines - Ever since I was young I really dream of seeing the famous chocolate hills of Bohol with my own naked eyes. And it totally  saddens me when a great earthquake hits Bohol last October 2013. And has caused damage to one of the Philippines most famous tourist spot.

Lately, we visited the famous chocolate hills in Carmen, Bohol. As usual, P50 entrance fee will be collected upon entering the spot. To feel the adventure I suggest that you should climb to the top. Upon reaching the top, I was surprised that the hills are very okay that seems like they haven't been affected by quakes. Thanks to nature's ability to heal itself. It's actually the grasses that covers the entire hills. And YES, chocolate hills are still worth visiting for.

Upon arriving the spot, get prepare for a 214 step to reach the viewing deck ...
Then picture taking ... or simply take a groupfie!

"Every day is a new opportunity so start it with a good breakfast!"

Lapulapu City - Early shift has always been a dilemma for me. As a laborer, it would be a waste of time if you have to cook your own breakfast. 6:00 AM? Where do you think you can eat at this early time? Here comes the Harbour City Dim Sum House, they are serving breakfast for as early as 6 AM till 10 AM. They offer it at a very low price. You can even have a Congee at P39.

#FoodPorn : My favorite mince pork :) - #LaagPaMore


My favorite here is either the Minced Pork with Garlic Rice and Egg or the Stewed Pork. Also all their breakfast meals comes with a coffee or a hot chocolate drink.

They also have good accommodation and the place is very clean and spacious. Lots of table so you won't have to worry. Check them out at Marina Mall, Lapulapu City!

Price! Price! Surprise! - #LaagPaMore

"Luwag is a magical wand in disguise used by our moms to serve us good food. And suddenly this luwag turned itself into a place to answers your cravings."



Lapu-lapu City -  On search for dinner, my friends and I roam around the Gaisano Mactan Island Mall to look for something new to eat. Suddenly we discovered a newly stand building just in front of the mall. Basically the building is a part of Gaisano Mactan Island Mall, they call it Phase 2. The building was just opened last June 28, 2015.

From the outside, we are mystically attracted to a specific restaurant just beside Rai-Rai Ken. The restaurant is called Luwag. I know you haven't heard of this. So as part of our curiosity, we decided to go inside and check. Surprisingly we are accompanied by their very accommodating staff. She introduce their foods and to my surprise it doesn't cost that much.

Their foods are serve that can be even good for two or four. Served directly to your table fresh from the kitchen. They have comfortable and spacious place. Tables and chairs are made of food to emphasize they are serving Filipino foods. They are open from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Check out there facebook page for more details.

"Enchanting, Refreshing, Relaxing ... No words can define it's beauty - The Obong Spring"


Dalaguete, Cebu - Recently I've posted the worst part of my adventure when I traveled for the first time to south of Cebu. That post about Dalaguete Beach Park is discouraging but that doesn't mean the whole town of Dalaguete is the same. Now I'm going to share another gift of nature . 

Chilling at Obong Spring, Dalaguete. - #LaagPaMore

Located at Brgy. Obong of Dalaguete where the Spring takes its name. Nothing could fascinate me by its clear, cold and fresh water under a very huge Dakit Tree. It's very enchangting. The scenery is perfect for fantasy. Other thing that mystifies me is the fresh water spring is directly connected to the ocean and they don't collide. Amazing isn't it? Science behind this mystery is because both waters have different density. 

Team building at Obong Spring, Dalaguete - #LaagPaMore


So how to get there? From the Queen City of the South - Cebu, you can ride a bus from South Bus Terminal and you can just ask the driver to drop you in Brgy. Obong. From there, you can just ask some locals for directions. No worries they are friendly! 

When you reach the entrance, you have to pay P5 for the entrance fee per person. If you have a car, that's an additional P20. You can rent a table under the huge tree for only P100.

Take a selfie with their mermaid statue. Grab some Banana Cues also from the local vendors! Enjoy!

Dalaguete, Cebu - The home of the famous trekking site "The Osmeña Peak". Dalaguete is also the vegetable basket of Cebu since majority source of the vegetables is from here. The town is located south of Cebu and can be access by Bus which will cost you from P90 to P100 from Cebu City.

The shoreline of Dalaguete Beach Park - #LaagPaMore
When speaking of Dalaguete, people would think of mountain areas, vegetables or forests. Actually, they also have beaches. the most popular is the DALAGUETE BEACH PARK located at Brgy. Casay. I've read a lot of good feedbacks from other bloggers regarding the place. Specifically from Hannah Of iJuanderCebu. But when we visit the place, my experience was totally different. 

We reach the place via a motorcycle or commonly known as habal-habal. The fare from the main road is P20 although its a walking distance. Then you have to pay for the entrance fee of P20 per person. You can also rent rotten cottages or tables which will cost you P260 for the cottage and P160 for the table. Sorry for being rude on the description. It's just the park has not been well-maintained. No wonder since the park is owned by Government but how come its not free. People of the Philippines will know why. 



During our visit there are no other people aside from us and another group. The place is very solemn and perfect for relaxation but don't expect for a bench. There is none. Also they have a long area of white sand where you can have your team building activities. The sand is white in fairness ...

If you'd like to rinse with fresh water, that would be another P20. What I hated the most is when my colleagues have to change clothes we are instructed by the personnel to use the CR at a distant. Yes! It's really far and to think they are wet so we came up to use the towels / malongs to cover as walls. But to our surprise the staffs of the resort including the security guards are trying to peak on my colleagues. HORRIBLE! So if I'm to rate the beach is not that unique so it would be 1 out of 5 stars.

"Looking for a place for your team-building? Gatherings or a venue for an event?"

Photo Credits to everythingcebu.com

There are such beautiful places all over Cebu to unwind and celebrate your gatherings. But we are talking about the accessibility of the place. Cebu Westown Lagoon is always been in the options!

A place you've never expected in the heart of the city. Who wouldn't be amazed of a resort in the city? Cebu Westown Lagoon is located in Mandaue City just beside the MO2 Restobar. They have pools for both kids and adults. Main attraction is the slides which will make your heart skip for a moment. Also don't miss their very relaxing Jacuzzi which structure is somewhat like Greek inspired. I felt like being cooked while soaking in the bubbling warm or shall I say very hot boiling water! They also have playground for kids!

Now lets talk about 'gastos'. You may not rent cottages cause I guess it will cost much. When we went there we are provided with tables and chairs which is also good and the best thing its free. Entrance fee to the resort is P300. I'm not sure about kids cause I don't have one! 

Corkage? This has always been a problem. Well YES! They have corkage BUT only for Lechon and hard drinks. But I'm gonna share you a trick how to by pass corkage fee. For Lechon you may just chopped outside and keep it in plastics or any food keepers. You may also want the boneless lechon it won't give you hassl. For hard drinks? Put them in the pitcher and you're set . Check out my pictures below!
