2023 Guide: 6 Best Tuslob Buwa Spots in Cebu

FOR DINING / RESTAURANTS / CAFES

Cebu is home to a multitude of delicacies that people come here for to enjoy or try out. Some are pretty easy to love because of their convenience, presentation, and the familiarity of people about what the dish is, paired with the anticipation for what Cebuano twist there is. However, there is one dish that originates from this region which causes a lot of people shock – the tuslob buwa.

Tuslob buwa is a dish that literally translates to “dip in bubbles”. It works through combining ingredients in one pan until they thicken, and then dipping the puso or hanging rice in the mixture. The dish is made of pig brain and pork liver.
