Bread talks and the rumors have now reached Cebu. A leading lifestyle bakery that started in Singapore ventures its aroma and craft this March 2008 at SM City Cebu. It has retail outlets at HongKong, China, Malaysia, UAE, Taiwan, Kuwait and Indonesia. Aside from their gorgeous bread “see thru” or transparent pane glass kitchens is one of their famous trademark. Breadtalk allows their customer to see how that controversial beautifully crafted bread and cakes were made and able to spread that sweet, yummy talk. Finally after a long wait, they’re here!

Cebuano or Filipino in general loves to eat bread as much as their passion for rice. Pandesal (famous local bread) and coffee can make up a good breakfast tandem. Then to the snack, midnight snack, on diet or even when people are hungry and rice or good meal is simply out of reach, bread will always be there. With the revolutionized concept of Breadtalk with their buns will truly hit the market. When people would first saw their store, they would get amazed and wonder how did they able to come with such a cool-looking ambiance in their shop, very clean and you would see how their baking process, from raw to finished products. And once you get to taste their bread, you just can’t get over it. The Floss with pork or chicken toppings, Mr. Beans, Earthquake cheese are just few of their more than 200 fun and tasty bread, exclusively Breadtalk’s trademark.

Wide shopping selection to suit all your vanities. Cebu is known to be a good place to buy quality apparel and souvenir items at relatively low prices. Fashion accessories, shell crafts, furniture, handcrafted guitars, peanut wafers, dried mangoes, dried pineapple, dried coconut are just a few of what Cebu shops can offer. Cebu shopping malls like Ayala Center, SM cebu, etc are just 5 minutes away from each other where you can buy almost everything you want. Gaisano malls are standing almost in every City in the province, cities like Mandaue, Lapu-lapu, Carcar, Danao and others.

Just a tip for shoppers, clothes from Manila are much cheaper compared here, because primarily Cebu’s main products are food, handicrafts and not much on silk. And Cebu is an island, it is miles away from main silk production markets. But then, that does not hinder Cebuanos to produce unique haute couture items, a very good example for this is Loalde (famous sophisticated fashion brand). Boutique shops selling local and international products are also visible in almost every corner of the City.
