French Baker at SM Seaside Cebu City


The French Baker franchise has arrive in SM Seaside Cebu located at the lower ground floor situated in the corner next to SM store Kids Section. So if ever you got tired of going around shopping for kid and baby stuff. Just step out of the store a bit turn to your right and there it is.

And if you still are unable to find it, let your nose lead you the way with its freshly baked brad, croissants and pastries. I bet you it is hard to miss.

What I love about the place is the cozy ambiance- soft lighting and cushy chairs.

Food serve are good for 1 or 2 but it depends if you are hungry then a second order needs to be made. Whether you are coming in for lunch or dinner they are well prepared to serve it, just check there menu.

Shakes are serve in large glasses good for 2

Breads are in a variety soft, crunchy or crunchy on the outside and soft in the side. It is available at the counter for you to order.

Pastries soft and colorful a feast for your eyes - a must try.

And if you need to pee they have their own restroom at the corner no need for you to walk far.

Check it out.

Cebu La Fortuna Bakery

In my youth the goodies in this bakeshop were a privilege. We were excited when Nanay bought home a mongo hopia.

Then last time I bought our favorite pianono and jelly roll. My goodness the was so starchy and to hide the starchiness they sprinkled it with a lot of sugar.

Then yesterday I was around the area, I could not help but make astop over in this place because of my childhood memories.

And I was disappointed with the ambience of the place. It was bigger but it was cram with a lot of shelves, dark and it didn't smell of cakes anymore.

You could now sit but it was just a corner that you could eat and go. The place was not somewhere that you would take time and cherish the moment you are there.

The management didn't take time to think of making the place cozy even if you are in the middle of the city.

It is a shame, after all the times they have profited from their patrons all these years.

Ding How Dimsum House at Robinsons Galleria Cebu

Another childhood memory of mine is, Ding How Dimsun House. It was an interesting place to go to because when I was young it was the in place to be. 

But now, as an adult after tasting this place I was disillusioned because it looks good but the taste was so salty.

Though it is cheaper than other restaurant, the taste is undeaniably not good for someone who has a sensitive tongue for saltiness or for one's health for that matter. Also the space is small thus your table is crowded even if you are just seating by yourself and much more if you have a lot of groceries and worst if you are a group, totally inconvenient for you you and those around you.

Yes, I must say that it would be difficult for a person with disability to get around the small space but the staff are really assistive so that is a bit of a relief.

Just the level of salt content in their food. So be advice if that issue is a concern for your health. Be wary.

On other matters, they don't have their own restrooms. But luckily the mall restrooms are located infront of the restaurant so you can conveniently go there if you need to.

Banana Leaf Restaurant in Ayala Center Cebu


This Thai fusion restaurant has been in Ayala Center Cebu for quite some time,  but this is just my 3rd time to be here. Thus I forgot the taste of food here sometimes...hahaha.

Anyways, the first was with my sister and she blog about it sometime ago and the other was with our cousins for a bonding.

The experience with my sister was bad trip because the staff who assisted us during the dining experience was in a bad mood and she showed it. So we were hesitating to ask and order something else.

This time, still a lot of drama...but the food brings back good memories.
