We see pungko-pungko vendors everywhere in Cebu and yet we know so little about them. So, I decided to take the time to have a conversation with Manang Joselyn Capa a.k.a. Manang Ki, a 42 year old local pungko-pungko vendor. But, before I delve into our interview here’s a little something about these stores. The…
I may have fallen in love with my first Korean. Meet Topokki Man – a popular snack in Korea made out of rice cakes, shaped in fat tubes and fish cakes, all in a tingly combination of sweet spicy red sauce. It is then topped with hardboiled egg, garnished with a few spices and thin…
“We like sweet little things. Do you?” Cupcakes make me happy. There’s always something good when munching one – moist, rich in flavor, and garnished to perfection.

*This article was written when they were at their old location in Mabolo. Their new address is Don Jose Avila St.Capitol site. Beside Sacred Heart School – Hijas de Jesus. Joed’s Lutong Hapon Japanese food is often pricey in the Philippines because of the special ingredients used in every dish. So you can imagine the thrill I…
Why we like it: Tucked in a quiet corner in Villa Aurora, it would be easy to miss this treasure trove of a restaurant. Abaseria would be the Spanish counterpart to our Filipino ‘sari-sari’ store, where a variety of food stuff, trinkets, and daily consumables are regularly sold. Abaseria Deli & Café is as quaint,…
Kusina Uno When talking about Bulalo or Pochero in Cebu, the first thing that always came to mind was the original Abuhan Uno. A staple for partygoers after a night out, our version of a nightcap. This was a regular stop for me, as well as guests from out of town craving for the local…
