The love for food can bring you to a journey of endless possibilities. Delicious food is a matter of personal choice and preference. However, the adventurous kind often discovers more than the usual new tastes and flavours of food, but also learns to appreciate the new cultures and ways of life of where the food was lovingly prepared.

Travel and food go hand in hand in many ways. When you travel to new places, there is the same exploration for the locals’ delicacies and food staples. Discovering new food is indeed like finding a secret treasure you are bound to share because of its goodness. Travelling brings that wonderful excitement, as food adventures offer the same warm and exhilarating feel.

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.
