Best of Cebu

Some of Cebu's pride and best delicacy

Puso

Nobody knows where the word puso comes from. In the Tagalog language, puso means "heart." But this puso we're talking about is food. It is pronounced as puso. It is rice wrapped in coconut leaves shaped like a diamond. At least that's what it looks like to me.

Dried Mango

Fancy eating something sweet and healthy? You might as well try Cebu's dried mangoes. The best tasting dried mangoes in the country, if not the world. This ripe, sun dried mangoes is good for snacks and desserts.

Dangit

It is a salted dried fish that is best paired with hot rice and dipped in vinegar. Others prefer a mixture of vinegar and crushed chili peppers with a dash of salt. Others might want to add a little bit more of spices to enhance the flavor.

Larsian

If you have not heard of the word Larsian, then you probably haven't been around Cebu. Larsian is one of Cebu's most prominent eating havens, one of the few that passed the test of time. Located at the uptown area near Fuente Osmena and Chong Hua Hospital, Larsian's general location offers a myriad of scenes that is undeniably CEBUANO in charm.

Malapascua Island

Situated eight kilometers off the north coast of Cebu, the Malapascua Island which means "Unfortunate Christmas" boasts its shimmering long white sand beaches and panoramic rocky coastlines. Malapascua is relatively small and covers less than 4 square kilometers making it enjoyable to ride a banca for a trip around the Malapascua island.

Kawasan Falls

Kawasan Falls is a popular get-away destination in the southern part of Cebu to locals and foreigners alike. With its lush tropical trees and plants everywhere, peaceful flow of the river as it gracefully rushes to the distant sea, the sound of the waterfalls on the background, friends and loved ones enjoying the cool and deep fresh water.
