The Pinoy Byahero

My BFF Anita was the one who reccomended that i try Quest Hotel and she sure gave a Very Good Reccomendation. Quest Hotel is a modern Hotel located just across Ayala Centre Cebu. Nearby, around and at its back are Restaurants. There is a bank nearby and laundry shops too. Check In was fast, friendly and efficient. The room was clean, comfy and cool. Their Wifi was surprisingly fast and reliable (though there were times it will slow down but pick up speed again). The room was comparable to a 4 Star Hotel Room.  Pool located on the 7th Floor Breakfast was Extensive. There was such a wide range of food available that i was surprised. More surprised to find Puto Bumbong (forget getting this) and Chocolate Batirol (Get this!) and Taho (their taho just does not taste like the ones bought from the streets).  Go to breakfast early, before 7am to beat the crowds. Despite having a lot of diners their service was Excellent. Service w...

Address: Tojong Street, Cebu City Location: located near Quest Hotel, Mandarin, Parklane, Diamond Suites, Wellcome Hotel We ordered the following when we dined here for dinner.  Kare-kare (P260)  Baked Scallops (P165)  Adobong Kangkong Overall, the food was very good. The kare-kare and scallops were very good. I liked the bagoong with the kare-kare a lot! Its the type of bagoong i like.  So far, i have not ordered anything from Kuya J's (first tried eating at their Sta Mesa branch) that i did not like. Their service is good too.

Anthony Bourdain considers Zzubuchon the best pig ever. If you will eat Zubuchon at the Airport that statement you will not agree with that. The lechon they serve at the airport is too oily. It tastes good but its far from the best.  I got their Boneless Lechon with Rice for 190.00 plus their Iced Citrus Lemon Tea (forgot if thats the right term for P75). I think it would be better to tastes Zubuchon at their branches outside the Airport where the lechon served is fresh.

Last Sunday, after Centris we went to Shrimp Bucket in UP Town Center for lunch. The inside was full so we just got the tables outside. We bought their Salted Egg Shrimp, Mussels, Beef Short Ribs, Fish and Chips and Fried Squid. I was not able to get the names of the dishes but that is it more or less. We were first served the fried squid. It was really delicious and will definitely order it again. The squid was very tender and it was really tasty. The dipping vinegar complemented the squid. Next to be served were the Shrimps, Mussels, Beef Ribs and Fish and Chips. The Beef ribs was very salty. Though the beef was tender, overall it was a dish not worth ordering.  The mussels were very good. They were presented in a plastic bag and buckets provided for the trash. The chorizo sauce was sinful. Crabmeat Fat was probably included and it was just sinful but delicious. Next was the salted egg shrimps which were also ser...

Last Wednesday we decided to take our Brand new Hyundai Grand Starex for a test drive and the lucky destination we chose, Pangasinan!  We left the house at 6am. We Paid toll of 45 at Balintawak Toll then we filled up our starex with Fuel at Petron. We then Paid 173 at Dau Toll. Paid 104 at TPLEX. Paid 164 at end of TPLEX.  We first Stopped at Sto Tomas Church in Pangasinan. The church was just located along the road. It was a bit far from the municipal hall.  After the Sto Tomas Church we then stopped at the Churches of Alcala and Bautista. It was my first time to see those 3 Churches. Next we visited a Church that is new to me, the Church of Bayambang.  After visiting the Church of Bayambang we stopped at a Supermarket in San Carlos to buy Bocayo. Afterwards i went to visit the Church of San Carlos. Lunch was next at Lingayen. We stopped at a Restaurant we randomly saw. The restaurant was called Biggs. The food was good and cheap.  Next Stop was Alaminos. We we...

Yesterday, after we had step boards installed on our brand new Hyundai Grand Starex we stopped at Noodle King for Merienda. The last time we ate here was probably last year. We ordered their beef pares. Eating beef pares transports me back to my college days where we will eat pares along Vito Cruz. I really enjoyed the Beef Pares of Noodle King. The beef was very tasty and the rice really complemented the beef pares. Noodle King is located along N Amoranto, La Loma, Quezon City

Yesterday, i went to Farinas Empanada to buy Empanada. I took a break from waiting at the bank. My number was 457 and the number they were calling when i left was just 200. I got the Ultimate Empanada for 99 Pesos. Then also saw they have dinakdakan too, ordered that too for 130 plus rice. My buddy M ordered Miki. The dinakdakan was so-so. The dinakdakan which our caretaker makes is  much much better. The empanada was so so too. The miki according to M was a failure.
