Azul Cebu trademarks “Tuslob Buwa”

Azul Cebu trademarks “Tuslob Buwa”

Tuslob Buwa is indeed a different taste of bubbles.

A popular streetfood in Cebu, “Tuslob Buwa” is believed to originate in Brgy. Pasil where residents find it as their daily source of income.

On Tuesday morning, Netizens woke up to the news that “Tuslob Buwa” is now a registered trademark through the Intellectual Property of the Philippines by Azul. This trademark means that any unauthorized use of the word, phrase or logo is against the law.

Azul is one of the popular eateries in Cebu that offer this famous street food, and even got more popular after being featured on Netflix’s Street Food Asia.

Basically, Tuslob Buwa (to dip into bubbles) is composed of pig brain, pork liver or intestines (can be optional), onions, oil, soy sauce or fish sauce, and other assorted seasonings. All of these ingredients will be put together in a pan until it boils. This will be best served with your puso (hanging rice) that will be dip into the pan, as its name suggests. It is economical since you only get to pay for the puso you consumed.

Cebu Eats: Ginabutan sa Mactan

Cebu Eats: Ginabutan sa Mactan

A visit to the country’s oldest city, Cebu, would never be complete without trying the original Cebu delicacies and dishes that will surely leave its visitors wanting more. One of the city’s famous food is ‘ginabot’, a kind of street food which Cebuanos take a lot of pride in.

With Cebu constantly developing, it resulted to the opening of several ‘pungko-pungko’ places. So, don’t worry if you’re living from the island of Mactan because finally, there’s one (and hopefully more to come).

Officially opened last November 2019, “Ginabutan sa Mactan” has been a go-to place for those who crave the palatable dish of chicharon bulaklak. Since then, it has always been packed with customers.

Now, what is this crispy dish made of? ‘Ginabot’ or chicharon bulaklak is made of deep-fried pig intestines. It tastes better when dipped in spicy vinegar with lots of sliced white onions (you’re lucky if you’re an onion lover like me because they serve them with no limits) and paired with carbonated drinks or beer.

This crunchy and delicious food is often found in a place called “pungko-pungko” where a variety of dishes like, fried porkchop, lumpia, ngohiong, and a whole lot more are being sold. If you’ve been staying in Cebu for quite a while, I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of this place.

What are you waiting for, mga Oponganons? Have a taste of the crunchy porn crackling!

Taboan Public Market: Famous stop for dried fish and local delicacies in Cebu

Be as fresh as the produce when you go shopping at Cebu’s famous market.

Whenever one hears the word “market,” the strong, foul smell from the raw produce is what comes to mind. Covering their noses and walking uncomfortably is like a normal sight when you are in the market.

However, despite the common notion of markets in the country, Cebu has got to stand out because of one famous, and newly renovated ‘market’. A stay at the Queen City of the South is incomplete without a Taboan Market visit.

Taboan Market, considered to be Cebu’s ultimate pasalubong center and local market is one of the busiest and most crowded market in Cebu City.

Dried seafood

Because of its famous danggit (dried fish), dried squid, shredded squid, among others is one of the reasons why Taboan Market is a must-visit for the travellers.

Local pasalubongs

Dried seafood are not the only goods you can buy at Taboan, you can also choose from the wide array of Cebuano delicacies for pasalubongs to your loved ones.

  • Dried mangoes
  • Shamrock Otap
  • Rosquillos

Market goods

Instead of buying from malls, you can visit Taboan because their goods are definitely sold at cheaper prices and if you’re good at haggling, you can score really good prices for your goods.

There are also:

  • fruits & vegetables
  • freshly caught seafoods
  • freshly cut meat

We highly recommend you wear your most comfortable clothes because a shower after your every visit is a must. Nonetheless, you will be surprised with the joy you will feel with your scores.

HOW TO GET THERE?

BY JEEPNEY: From Colon, take an Alumnos-bound jeepney (08F and 08G) and ask the driver to drop you off Taboan Market. From the jeepney’s drop-off pointm take a trysikad (bicycle) to Taboan Proper.
