Feeling cold from he past week's weather? Well there ain't need for worries dear. A perfect hot cafe is surely a best place to hang out!



Tazza Café seems just like an ordinary coffee shop, but its unique decor and laid back ambiance makes it a standout And look at those upside down cups for light installations. Simply adorable! I love the fact that the place isn’t too crowded even when it’s located beside the road.





Awww Isn't it cute? Coffee lovers out there what do you think? hmmm?








How about try this tomato salsa on a toasted baguette as your Starter.
Tazza Café is one of those places where you could just hang out in for ages. The pastel colored decor and quirky furniture makes the place so inviting and comfortable. And it doesn’t hurt either that they serve delicious cakes and pastries!









The interior is very pretty and chic, but at the same time very welcoming and comfortable. Staying there feels like you’re hanging out at a friend’s house, plus the staffs are very friendly and their menu items are really god too! They serve breakfast, lunch, dinner, and all in between.




And just look at this adorable blue couch and red door combo! Perfect for Instagram shots, don't you think? By the way, I don't know where that red door leads to. I first thought that was the comfort room, but it was locked. Tho the label says it's the office, but I'm not sure. Maybe it leads to Narnia? To Hogwarts express? which one do you think? LOL










How to go there:
by PUJ- 17c, 17b, 17d.
Stop at the corner of Salinas Drive(JY Square / SSY Building) and Wilson Street (the road going to Camp Lapu Lapu). You can easily spot TSAI HOTEL from here(the orange building along Wilson Street). We are just beside KAONA Grill or just across PINO Restaurant on the road going to Manggahan.

 Cebu is prominent internationally not just because of its must-love beaches but also for its local delicacies. Among these world-famous palatable delights, our lechon baboy is definitely the kind worth traveling miles for.

Zubuchon is just one of many establishments selling whole roasted pig in Cebu. So, what makes Zubuchon special? For one, Anthony Bourdain, acclaimed food critic and host of , gave it the distinction of being the world's best whole roasted pig. The other reasons are what make their acupunctured roasted pig succulent and tasty. No Reservations Foremost, Zubuchon's pigs are not from commercial piggeries but are hand-picked from pigs raised in the backyards of certain individuals. They do not use MSG or commercial mixes for flavor. Instead, they use organic ingredients, including olive oil, local sea salt, homegrown lemongrass, peppers, green onions, and other herbs and spices.

Zubuchon follows the old-fashioned way of roasting pig. The pig is acupunctured and cooked manually. The pigs are staked on bamboo poles and roasted over charcoal. Compared to oven-cooked pigs or those roasted using mechanical systems, one would notice that meat roasted over charcoal usually tastes better and richer in flavor.

A kilo of Zubuchon sells for Php450.This lechon costs more than other roasted pigs for sale in Cebu but avid fans assure us that you will find the crispy blistered skin and the tender meat worth the price premium. The lechon is served fresh by Zubuchon crews. However, if you intend to bring it to other provinces as pasalubong, you can opt for the frozen lechon, which have been properly boxed up, making it more convenient to bring along as a carry-on luggage.

This lechon tasted more like lechon kawali because the skin wasn’t smooth and crispy like your regular lechon. The skin was blistered and super crispy as if it were deep fried. What I liked best was the succulent and evenly flavorful meat. I’m not a fan of lechon because the meat is usually bland. I only sometimes eat the skin if it’s crisp. This lechon I ate all the meat. The meat reminded me more lechon de leche with it’s tender and almost milky flavor.

Experienced on how to make the most of the migration season with a well-trip to Olango.

Olango Island boasts of 920-hectare sanctuary of migratory birds wildlife sanctuary supporting the largest concentration of migratory birds seen so far in the Philippines and Marine Sanctuary which is home to many tropical fishes and corals.

Located in the southernmost part of Olango is San Vicente, where you can enjoy swimming, feeding and observing marine life in their natural habitat. Snorkeling around the marine sanctuary, we spotted some moorish idol, banner fish, clownfish, damsel fish, angel fish, giant clams or takubo and many more.

The island has some of the extensive mangrove forests in the Cebu province and is endowed with rich coral reefs, expansive coralline sandflats, and huge seagrass beds. In addition, the flat island is sheltered from trade winds and monsoons. 

How to get to San Vicente Marine Sanctuary? You can hire a boat for island hopping in Mactan. Boat rental depends on your itinerary. One popular hopping itinerary is Pandanon Island Bohol and San Vicente Olango Marine Sanctuary. Boat rental with that itinerary would cost around 4,000php (boat can accommodate up to 30 people). Boat rental does not include entrance fees to Pandanon Island (fee: 150php per person) and San Vicente Marine Sanctuary Environmental fee (50php).

What are you waiting for? Let's go to OLANGO!
