Imagine a soft, chewy bread filled with creamy cheese, bathed in sweet, dusty, powdered milk… I’m sure I’ve made you hungry for a taste!

Behold, the new addition to the famous Cebu delicacies – Milk Cheese Donuts.

Now, The Bakery Boutique has just given a different touch to this new favorite donut, making this novel delicacy perfect to be given as gifts to special people and occasions, as well as pasalubong when you visit Cebu.

The Bakery Boutique’s Milk Cheese Donuts started out as an idea to fill a regular donut with cheese and coat it with milk and sugar. They fell in love with it and felt that it would be a disservice not to share the delicious treat to the outside world and the rest was history.

An infusion of taste, their Milk Cheese Donut is a perfect blend of sweet, salty and creamy all in one bite. No wonder, since it is made with the finest ingredients from its flour to the high-grade creamy cheese that oozes out in every bite.

This deep-fried pastry is perfect for breakfast, merienda, and even for late night snacks – a perfect pair with coffee or tea. It’s actually good to be eaten anytime you want!

As what The Bakery Boutique always says: You deserve it!

They also have Buttercream Donuts!

Fair warning, it’s so addicting and finger-licking good, you’ll find yourself unable to stop that a box of 12 is just not enough!

A sleepy town situated off the southwestern coast of Cebu, Alegria also has its fair share of tourist spots that will make you want to check the town out.

Here are the five (5) must-visit attractions in Alegria, southern Cebu.

3. CANCALANOG FALLS

Cancalanog falls is quite small. But what makes it popular is not really the waterfall itself, but  the very clear, blue waters in the natural pool.

The natural pool is surrounded by 3 boulders, making it look like some private pool. The bluish water is so clear that you get to see the large rocks in the pool’s floor.

Photo by Marc Jonell Garcia

There is also a 2-storey hut and a bamboo bridge that will take you from one cliff to another. Travel tip? Bring a snorkel. Although you won’t see corals or numerous fishes here, but the clear blue waters will still make your snorkel experience magical.

  • Entrance fee: P50
  • Motorbike fee: P80-P90 (one-way only)
  • Other information:
    • Cambais Falls and Montepellier Falls are located relatively nearby. So it’s best to target these 3 spots in one day.

Dive and jump in Ginatilan’s breathtaking Inambak Falls

Dive and jump in Ginatilan’s breathtaking Inambak Falls

Cebu lives up to its expectations of a nature escapade as it has an incredible roster of breathtaking waterfalls. Now, we are showcasing one of that roster. Meet Ginatilan’s pride: the Inambak Falls.

Photo by Josh Roland

The waterfall spans out into 5 different levels, which is already an amazing feat, and the main waterfall of Inambak Falls is taller than the main waterfall of the Kawasan Falls. Those who have the hobby of canyoneering would surely enjoy this place as it is an incredible jump to take in.

Inambak Falls could possibly come from the Bisaya word “ambak”, which is to jump, and surely a jump into the cold and relaxing waters of the falls is a good way to name it.

The water beneath is actually quite deep and the mossy cliffs and the overarching cave behind the falls makes it look like a natural paradise.

5 Levels of Inambak Falls

If you would like to visit all five levels, it would be advisable to get a guide yourself.

  • 5th level: The fifth level, which is the topmost level, is a 15-foot cliff jump into the pool below, or about a 1 storey building jump.
  • 4th & 3rd level: The fourth and third level is actually a small and cozy oasis a group of people can dip themselves in while feeling the sensation of the falls going down on your body.
  • 2nd level: The second level is a very spectacular setting as the water runs down through a gentle slope on a cliff going towards the emerald pool. A rock can be found where the falls and the pool meet, so one can go there and give themselves a good old massage from nature.
  • 1st level: Finally, the first level, which is the most bottom level, is a giant waterfall gushing out of the cliff edges around 100 feet tall with the same emerald waters greeting you to its cozy comfort.

LOOK: Mulan-inspired Pre-Debut Photoshoot in Cebu

Because of its timelessness, Disney-inspired photoshoots have been a staple for every theme of every birthday party. But just when we have thought that we have seen them all, a debutante from Cebu suddenly caught our attention.

Joy Mañacap, a debutante from Cebu, stood out from the sea of debutantes by doing a Mulan-inspired photoshoot.

It was just recently that the movie adaptation of Mulan has made waves on social media. This, then, surfaced online. What a great way to really stand out. With her beauty and the shots, I could say it really deserves to trend.

These photos are beyond captivating that we couldn’t help, but reminisce the movie we just watched and our childhood.
