There are times when dining predictable places can be a boring routine. If you are looking for exotic and different places to fulfil that adventurous streak, then why not try one of the following out-of-the-ordinary places of Cebu dining.
You have not felt Cebu if you have not eaten in Larsian Fuente Osmeña. Amidst the smoke-filled dining area of the place, one can enjoy the cheap grilled food available 24 hours of the day. If you are on a budget and want the sweet-style barbecue pork or chicken, you will definitely find Larsian the place to be. Unfortunately, the place is very public and may not be suitable for people who may be bringing precious belongings or for people allergic to smoke.

Just beside Larsian is the ubiquitous Siomai sa Tisa. Each pork dumpling costs six pesos, and with a serving of 3 and a cup of rice, it is already a respectable meal. Even if Siomai sa Tisa originated in Tisa, Labangon, many siomai stores still use the place to perhaps advertise to the public that their siomais are good and delicious. Siomai is a great snack treat too, especially for those who are on a tight meal budget.

Other extraordinary dining nooks are shawarma places of Cebu. Although most shawarma places are found in malls, there is really no proper dining setup for these roasted beef and pita sandwiches. Shawarma is not a local concoction. In fact, this food is a Middle Eastern delicacy but has Filipinos wanting for more. Previously, many shawarma stands flooded the metropolis. Its tangy garlic sauce and onion add-ons are pure heaven to shawarma enthusiasts. Unfortunately, those shawarma shops that have successfully thrived have gone from a dozen to a handful. Still, one must try these wonderful pita sandwiches while standing. Just be careful not to get your hands soaked in the garlic sauces. Otherwise, you will end up licking them because even the sauce is great!
