Their tuslob-buwa set comes with ten (10) pieces of puso (hanging rice) and unlimited lamas. A set is good for two people (well, that’s if you’re settled already for just a set). And because this tuslob-buwa hub is committed to give everyone a one-stop-place for the other street food favorites, they also delight their customers with dynamite, stuffed eggs, siomai, longganisa, ginabot, chicken proven, ngohiong, and even iced candies.
Buwa Lamaw
More than that, they take pride in their innovative Cebu’s Buwa Lamaw – food-to-go bowl consisting of rice, boiled egg, siomai, and pig’s brain gravy (buwa) as toppings.

8Flix & Chill won’t just name their store as such without proving its truth. Living up to everyone’s expectations, the place provides everyone an al fresco dining. A local newspaper even described the place as “a simple and industrial look with comfortable seating.” This rings true to both branches – Talisay City and Cebu City branches.
Indeed, it’s a fresher take of the usual tuslob-buwa establishments that are jam-packed. Dense crowd, although a good sign that business is growing, can sometimes make the place a little noisier, hotter, and not any more conducive for a meal. At 8Flix & Chill, we are guaranteed of a relaxing place for dining. Its Talisay branch can accommodate up to 15 diners at the same time while its Cebu City branch can accommodate up to 30 customers with social distancing.

In a report, one of the founders said that she was inspired to share the taste of her grandmother’s version of tuslob buwa so she recreated it, leading her to open the first branch in Talisay.
For those who are unfamiliar with the food, tuslob-buwa is a popular Cebu street food that originated in Pasil area in Cebu City. The name roughly translates to “dip in bubbles,” a reference to how it is eaten. Diners dip pusô or hanging rice into the thick and bubbly froth and pop the salty, greasy pieces into their mouths.
It is made with pork liver and brain which get sauteed with garlic, shrimp paste, onions, and chili. It’s a fun go-to food destination with friends since it’s prepared on a stove right in the middle of the dining table. You can dive into this fast and flavorful meal when the mixture thickens into a bubbly stew.

It is quite hard to secure a place of your own right now in the Philippines especially in urban cities. Without the appropriate amount of money, you will have a hard time finding the perfect home for you.
Luckily, the Philippine government has its own entity that lets you store your money to increase it as time goes on as well as make loans for your housing needs. This is known as the Pagtutulungan sa Kinabukasan: Ikaw, Bangko, Industria at Gobyerno (PAG-IBIG) Fund.
The PAG-IBIG Fund is an important fund to be a member of. In fact, every Filipino is encouraged to join and be a member. It caters housing loans and financing with lower rates than regular banks, and is less likely to become bankrupt as it is supported by the government.

Even before the arrival of Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legazpi in 1565, Cebu has already established active trading relations with the Chinese and other Southeast Asian countries. At the time, Maritime trading was the main link between Cebu and China.
Archaeological excavations which yielded Chinese trade pottery such as porcelain from the Sung and Tang dynasty are all proofs that attest to the early relationship that China had with Cebu.

All of these proofs and stories of the past are now being displayed in the Sugbu Chinese Heritage Museum. The recovered artifacts showing proof of trading of the early Cebuanos are kept in the equally important heritage building of Gotiaoco Building which also stands as a tangible reminder of the rise of Cebu as a shipping and business center outside of Manila.
It will showcase centuries of collaboration between the Chinese and Filipino people through exhibits of various artifacts, heritage pieces, and items of trade. These artifacts will serve as a carefully woven historical narrative to tell the story of the past to visitors of the museum which in turn will help promote and preserve the Sugbu-Chinese culture, tradition and legacy.

LOBBY AND FIRST FLOOR
The first thing that greets guests on the first floor is a lobby where the story of the Gotiaoco Building is displayed and how it changed and evolved through time. Following the lobby are displays which show the story of how Cebu transformed into the city that it is today through time.
The stories are played through a video presentation played in monitors innovatively placed inside picture frames that give the illusion of moving pictures. The other half of the lobby is used up by a replica of a Chinese boat which was used by the Chinese to come to the island and perform trading. Various props and mannequins are placed around the ship replica, depicting a scene from long ago as the Chinese traded with the Cebuanos.

Barrels of numerous trading goods such as tea, anise, and other spices can be seen behind the boat. To the side is presumably an alley representing a busy Chinese street where Chinese traders found their way to Cebu and eventually stayed there. The mezzanine is presented as a Chinese immigration office, with matching Chinese workers in their native attires, where passports and other documentations are showcased.
UPPER FLOORS
The second and third floors will contain artifacts and displays that show “the history, heritage, and contributions” of the Sugbu Chinese to Cebu in the various fields.
