From your everyday delight to any midnight cravings, the city offers a whole lot of gastronomic adventure for your palettes to enjoy. The burst of flavor from the best Cebuano meals is indeed a surprise. While the city is too big for you to travel in a day, it sure is a delight to visit and take a bite into some of the city’s scrumptious dishes.
If you’re second guessing as to where you’d want to go, you might want to check Punta- Labangon area. Labangon houses a number of delicious food stalls. You’d drool yourself with the affordable dimsum, great food options and, of course, desserts.
Whether you’re hungry or just want to satisfy your food bump you’d want to try and follow this list.
Who doesn’t want dimsum? If you’ve a friend who doesn’t, you don’t need that negative vibe. Dimsum is a hungry man’s best friend. When you’re in Tisa, head straight to Braddex and eat your dimsum fix. For a good 35 pesos, you’ll have a bowl of steamed rice, what a great deal. Braddex also offers an array of food choices for you: batchoy, bacon wrap, ngohiong, sweet and sour pork, crab pincer and siomai.
While Braddex is indeed a great place to visit, it is packed with joyous diners during peak hours so it’s better to hop on some food places like Kuya Jeff’s Siomai or Way Tugpahay, it also offers great meals and good siomai.
How to get there
Exact Location: Katipunan St, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu

2.“Larang” at Kuya Simo’s

Tisa is not only known as “Siomai Capital of Cebu”, its name has evolved into a local hub for your food crawl. If you’d want to skip siomai for today, I won’t judge, Labangon also offers a savory soup, which is locally known as “Larang”. Larang is a widely popular soup dish in the city. It is a stew made with fish and tomatoes. For those who want to try Larang, Kuya Simo’s is the place to be. Visit their store on Katipunan St., near A. Lopez. and try one of the best Larang in town.

I’m sure you’ve been trying to stop yourself from eating a lot during the holidays. It’s hard to say no to Lechon, spaghetti, fruit salad and the all-time favorite lumpia. If you’re the one who just craves seafood than anything else, you’d sure be a fan of I love Bucket Shrimps.

4. Meet the meat
Cebuanos love their meat. From humba, kinupusan, sisig to adobo, we’ve been a huge fan of meat. Tucked in the busy street of Tisa is an Adobohan (it definitely has no name). Just beside 7-Eleven is a small cart selling deep fried cuts of meat. But you would immediately distinguish it as it stands apart from the siomai stalls in the corner and the people flocking to guzzle up for dinner.

If you have not hears of Chef Jade Kitchen yet, you’re definitely missing out!
To someone who lives in the Queen City of the South, you should have tried the famous Ube Cheese Pandesal during the pandemic. A lot of new businesses have become famous because of this best-seller. One of those who are known to serve one of the best (if not the best) Ube Cheese Pandesal is – Chef Jade Kitchen.
But that is not what this article is all about. Because they’ve ventured into a new pastry that would surely sell like hotcakes because of its taste, price, and form – the Russian Honey Cake.
The Russian Honey Cake became famous in Russia since the 19th century. Its rich history started when the then-honey averse, Empress Elizabeth, was baked by a young confectioner a honey cake without letting her know about the honey content. Guess what? Yes. She loved it.
Photo from Chef Jade Kitchen Facebook Page
But because Chef Jade Kitchen likes to have their own twist on this one, they added a modern twist!
They layered medovik biscuits, honey cremeux, a light vanilla mousse, and an almond-honey croquant so you get different tastes and texture in each forkful! Not to mention, it looks as dreamy and as IG-worthy as the Empress would want it to be.
For only P1750, you’ll get to have your own 13-inch dreamy Russian Honey Cake for your consumption. Since we all cannot travel someplace else to get a taste of it, don’t look further!
