Before I can conclude my Thanksgiving trip to Cagayan and Dahilayan, I just wanted to publish this again. The marketing girls of Shangrila Mactan Resort and Spa invited us over to test out their new Chef’s specialty dishes – all imported from Tuscany! Very chic, very Italian. I got to spend the longest lunch I’ve ever had in the history of my dining life with Jude from Cebu Daily News and Sir Jigz from Sunstar. Guess who gets to represent The Freeman Cebu?
Perhaps I’ll tell more of that new venture of mine in another post but for now, please feast your eyes on these 5-course meal Chef Marco Ghezzi prepared for us five. An excerpt of the entire lunch break period:
The ubiquitous stopover at Sutukil where a small portion of Mactan Island has been divided to give way to tiny restaurants or carenderias that serve fresh seafood.
A good three blocks away from our office in IT Park lies bread heaven.
I’ve always been a carb-lover, a pan de sal hoarder, and a breadwhore. It does seem weird when hearing the word “bread” sounds so orgasmic.
Peaches – Mango – Kiwi – spells HEALTHY.
August 19, 2010 – Rewind a few weeks back when I was celebrating with my family in Cagayan de Oro for my mom’s 54th birthday, I made two stops at two restaurants in Limketkai Center – Siam Thai Cuisine and Missy Bonbon.
See, Siam Thai Cuisine is also at the Ground Level of Ayala Terraces beside Cyma Restaurant and because I knew that it is another version of Krua Thai (which I absolutely adore, by the way), I keep putting off the day when I will finally get to eat there. It just so happens that I tried this Siam restaurant in Cagayan de Oro instead. Absolutely funnnyyy!
My friend Quennie’s brother owns the place and she sometimes manages the restaurant when she’s around. Peace, Q! Too bad she was sick when we were there. Below is a photo of their steamed fish and their famous bagoong rice. The fish they used is lapu-lapu which explains why this was priced at almost P200. The bagoong rice is as heavenly as I had expected. So delish! Do you know mixing the sliced onions also enhaces the flavor? Try it!
