Do you miss home? Do you miss it so much that you crave meals you can only find in your hometown? And when you finally find and taste that meal, you can say “This tastes like home”.
Little Thai Restaurant is a Thai Restaurant that’s bringing a memory of Home, which is Thailand, to Cebu. Why so? Let’s find out.
A Memory of Home
The owners of Little Thai Restaurant lived in Thailand for more than 20 years. One of the owner’s kids practically grew up in the Land of Smiles. And when they decided to go back to the Philippines, they started to miss home.
What reminded them of home, especially the daughter, was Thai food. Visits to Thai restaurants in the city left them wanting for more.This led to the decision of opening their own Thai food place, and thus Little Thai Restaurant opened its doors to Cebuanos in 2017.
True and Authentic Thai Ingredients
There are a lot of authentic Thai restaurants in Cebu but what sets Little Thai Restaurant apart is the fact that its owners consider Thailand their home. This ultimately means that they truly know what authentic Thai cuisine is from presentation to scent and to taste.
The owners make sure to benchmark the taste of everything coming from the kitchen before it is served to customers. You can really see how the owners are hands-on in running the business.
The ingredients, especially the spices and sauces are mostly imported from Thailand to ensure both quality and authenticity. And Fun fact, some of the herbs are even grown in the owner’s own garden. The leaves of spices are plucked every other day to ensure freshness upon use.
Hearty Meals by Little Thai Restaurant
And on to the star of the show, the scrumptious Thai cuisine by Little Thai Restaurant. Team Sugboph was given the exciting opportunity to try out the restaurant’s best sellers.
The first dish we were able to try was Pad Thai. Pad thai is stir-fried rice noodles with shrimp, tofu, chives, and egg in Tamarind Sauce. And let us tell you, it was an explosion of flavor.
It was sweet but tangy because of the Tamarind Sauce. The shrimps were exceptionally fresh, plump, and juicy. The tofu, chives, and egg go so well together. With different textures and flavors, it was almost like a whole shebang.
And of course, we had to drown everything down with their authentic Thai Milk Tea. It was creamy and you can really taste the tea leaves. It had somewhat of a burnt taste which was so good.
There are other best-sellers aside from Pad Thai. You have to try the Thai Crispy Fish with green mango salad; stir-fried minced pork with holy basil which is the go-to food for Thai people; and the Tom Yum Goong.
They also have Vegan options for people who do not consume animal products on selected menu items.
What to Look Forward to?
Little Thai Restaurant has two branches, one in Robinsons Talisay and the other at Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Capitol Site. Good news for those closer to the Talisay Branch, Little Thai Restaurant Talisay will be expanded to add more seating capacity and to accommodate more hungry customers looking to taste the flavors of Thailand.
Who knew that a family’s longing and love for home would turn into a good business venture? The owners of Little Thai Restaurant want Cebuanos to be able to taste how delicious Thai Cuisine is. With familiarity, experience, quality, and authenticity, Little Thai Restaurant serves dishes that are by heart and by soul, truly Thai.

Every day is an opportunity to hit pause, reflect and be grateful with the blessings that come our way. Appreciating your cup of coffee in the morning can be a start in practicing the attitude of gratitude. On making the attitude of gratitude a daily habit, we asked two Cebuano personalities on how they practice gratefulness this year:
Photo from Nespresso PH on Instagram
Reflection, gratitude, and coffee
Entrepreneur and yogi Danessa Onglatco started the year with deep life reflection and moments of gratitude. She also mapped out her plans and goals for the year ahead, all while enjoying her favorite cup of coffee.
Last year, Danessa expanded her food business, Danessa’s Kitchen to various areas in Luzon and forged strategic partnerships. This year, she is striving to become a better version of herself, while continuing to expand her business.
She starts each day with her daily fuel: an intense long and dark roast of Nespresso’s Ispirazione Palermo Kazaar.
“That first fresh brew of the day sets the tone for my brand-new start. It will keep me focused and motivated for what is ahead,”
SHE SAID.

Looking back and ahead
Like Danessa, Cebuano designer Neil Felipp also takes inspiration by revisiting his accomplishments in 2022, being grateful for them, and then looking forward to the lessons and surprises that await this year.
2022 was eventful for Neil as his minaudieres are adored by international celebrities and are even worn at New York Fashion Week. Neil continues to work on his goal of building a globally competitive Filipino brand that inspires and uplifts local artisanal communities.
Neil powers up with a cup of his go-to Nespresso coffee, the Pierre Herme Infiniment Espresso, which reminds him of the infinite possibilities that await.

“Coffee excites me as a great way to achieve new goals and to be grateful for the little things,”
HE SAID.
Practice the attitude of gratitude at different moments of the day with Nespresso’s Moments of The Day Discovery Pack. Whether it’s a morning boost or something to help you unwind, Nespresso presents a collection of carefully selected coffee that will be a companion to your everyday moments.

“My Father never gave me a bouquet of roses, instead he planted me a whole garden of flowers”
Just how far can a father go for his kids? This dining spot and Botanical Garden in Busay may be the exact epitome of an immeasurable father’s love. Terrazas de Flores- A place built on a father’s never-ending love for his children.
A Place Built on Family
Terrazas de Flores is a beautiful spot in Busay that showcases different types of colorful flowers. The place itself makes you feel like you are in an enchanted forest. But behind its beauty is an even more enchanting story of a father’s evergreen love for his kids.
Terrazas de Flores was built as a gift of a father to his children. The owner wanted to spend more time with his family and what better way to do that than to create their own family space?
Making memories with family- that’s what Terrazas de Flores stands with and both the owner and his children want Sugboanons to experience that too, thus Terrazas de Flores became open to the public as both a dining spot and botanical garden.
Of Art and Of Culture
Terrazas de Flores is also an artist’s haven and for good reason. Aside from the terraces of flowers, there are different amazing art pieces created by local artists from the Cebuano Arts Club. There’s even a mini Museum in the area if you want to immerse yourself more in Cebuano artworks.
Aside from the paintings, the terraces of flowers are forms of art in themselves. The landscape is the artwork of the gardeners that made it possible for the whole place to be established. The gardeners used the interlocking stone technique which is passed down from generation. No machinery, just pure culture.
Make Memories through Good Food and Ambiance
What’s a family core memory? It is spending time together by having delicious lunch at a great place. Terrazas de Flores does not only boast its terraces of flowers but also takes pride in their food.
A day at Terrazas de Flores is not complete without trying their back ribs and Chicken Francaise. Fun fact- the Chicken Francaise is a dish that the owner’s kids love to cook as a form of quality time. The menu is definitely fitting for a family.
And on top of that, you get to dine in a restaurant with rustic and homey vibes. The whole place allows diners to have an Al Fresco dining experience. That’s not all, there are also areas where couples can have the perfect date night, right in time for Valentine’s day like the Cabanas and the viewing deck.
And of course, end the day with a cocktail night as Terrazas de Flores also serves delicious cocktails. And the best part? You get to toast to a gorgeous view and ambiance with your family, friends, and even significant other.
Another best thing about the Terrazas de Flores experience? The entrance fee is only 100 per person and it’s also consumable.
Love is Everywhere, Love is at Terrazas de Flores
Love comes in all shapes and sizes, even in the form of beautiful terraces of flowers. Terrazas de Flores is not just about its structure or the landscape, it’s about making fond memories with the people you love. Love is everywhere, and evergreen love is at Terrazas de Flores.
BY HABAL-HABAL: Hire a habal-habal driver (Motorcycle for hire) near JY Square Mall in Lahug, and inform him to drop you off at Terrazas de Flores.
BY CAR: (Best option) Parking space available. Just search for ‘Terrazas de Flores’ in Cebu Transcentral Highway via Waze or Google Maps.
BY TAXI: Hiring a taxi cab is possible but that can be hefty. Most of them won’t give you a metered reading system – hence, they’ll be offering you an estimated fare in going there.
Love is definitely in the air, especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner. If you’re planning to treat your special someone to a restaurant with good food while feeling the romance in the air, here are 10 restaurants in Cebu that you should consider going to!
