#SM, Chikaan#

#BestFoodEver

Looking for something to fill our hungry stomachs. Something unique and something we can address as best food ever. Roaming around places for hours to pig out but nothing seemed to impress me. My mind is puzzled and got to ask myself a question: What's the best food you've ever tasted? Then suddenly thought of Chikaan. No more questions asked. We immediately went to the nearest Chikaan at SM.

I wasn't really sure if there's Chikaan in SM, the receptionist at information area wasn't also sure and gave us a wrong direction. Duh! Grrr!

At last! We get to be seated and ordered our all time favorites. Served in 20 minutes or less considering it's a Sunday Dinner. It was worth all the wait!

Tinolang Manok in replacement to Grilled Bangus. Unfortunately they were out of stock.

My undying love for their Buttered Shrimp ^__^

Baked Scallop. They may look unpleasant but it's only in the picture. They still taste as good as they can be.

#Hikay~ lutong pinoy#

Address: Calyx Building, IT Park, Lahug Cebu City

Type of Food: Filipino Cuisine (ala carte)

Telephone number: 238-5211

WiFi: Yes

Trying to look for another place that serves good food where we could dine out with the relatives is a crucial thing. I had to search for reviews then finally decided to have it somewhere in IT Park called "Hikay~Lutong Pinoy"

There wasn't so much of a crowd when I arrived though I was advised to order ahead since it was peak hours while waiting for my relatives. When I get to glance at their menu, I realized that they have increased around 5-10 php on each dishes. It's no problem though the blogs I've read were posted in 2013.

20 minutes past when my relatives arrived, few minutes after the food were served. Luckily, they didn't have to wait lol

Baked Scallop - 145.00 php

Grilled Prawn - 255.00 php

Tinolang Manok - 198.00 php

Tuna Belly - 185.00 php

Cold Calamansi Juice

Four Seasons

Grape Shake

I like their glasses. lol. Drinks looked refreshing and colourful. No need for DSLR to capture like these since they have a bright lighting and room temperature is cool.

Blueberry Cheesecake

Fried banana with chocolate ice cream

I wasn't really "THAT" impressed however the food were average and the usual taste. Among the dishes I ordered, I liked the tinolang manok the most. :) I prefer Chikaan's Baked Scallop and my relatives agreed. Their desserts were highly preferred, that I can say was superb~! :)

#@ anya's#

They're open from Sunday to Thursday (10:00 am to 1:00 am) and from Friday to Saturday (10:00 to 2:00 am)

It was a late dinner and wanted to have something not in the mall this time. Thinking about which to eat is something I can't handle and makes me impatient. But good thing I remembered one resto which serves home made dishes right from the wok! Then, decided to have it in Mabolo. We passed by two restaurants before we've got to anya's place. I remembered passing by Cadi Shack Diner and Cafe de Geneve. Not sure where it's located but instinct took us to the right place in the right time. :)

We were the only customers when we arrived. It was cozy and a good place to chill. So if you're looking for a place to dine out and chillax with friends I would recommend Anya's place.

Directions to Anya's Place is not so difficult to find. Turn to your left when you see a sign (cadi shack diner) of the road, two corners from Sarrosa Hotel. Passing cadi shack turn left again and straight ahead is Anya's place located on the right just beside Cafe de Geneve.

Got to order Philippine Pork Humba @ 160.00 and Sizzling Gambas @ 200.00. Plain rice costs 15.00 per cup. Iced tea Pitcher @ 75.00

Sizzling Gambas

Philippine Pork Humba

Their gambas is really good! ;) They also provide free access of their wifi but unfortunately it was way too slow.

Love is sweeter the second time around. Well, I always thought about food and how much I appreciate them though it's not really obvious when it comes to my figure. Visiting the place only once I could say is bias. So I've decided to visit it once more. The first time I visited the place was at daytime around 3:00 p.m. 

This picture was taken around 5:00 p.m. We arrived at the busiest time of the day which is dinner. So good thing there were still available seats for me and food buddy.

#Lantaw floating restaurant#

Food: Filipino Cuisine

Contact Number: (032) 514 2959

Operating Hours: 

Sunday – Thursday:  10:00am-10:00pm

Friday to Saturday : 10:00am- 11:45pm

Going there is a struggle. Some taxi drivers aren't even familiar with the place. It took us one hour to finally get there and we paid 250.00 php. Imagine that far. On your way home you have ride a pedicab to the taxi stand but if you have your own means of transport that'd be great!

We went there at 4:00 pm and arrived at 5:00 pm. At last we've finally arrived to the place! whew! *sigh!

Immediately after our arrival waiters asked us for if we had reservations and we said no good thing there was still one left table for us three so we were very lucky at that time.

We took some pictures after we ordered.

Evening scenery at the floating restaurant. It sure is far but it was a nice experience for us. Take note to book a reservation in advance because mind you they have a lot of customers during noon and at dinner time.

#Manggahan sa Lahug#

Manggahan in English is a place where there's a lot of mangoes.

It was my first time to hear about that place. I was a bit intrigued. LOL! Manggahan is located in lahug 2 blocks next to PINO. Here is a map for the exact location.
