Stepping into Anjo World Theme Park is like drinking a whole bottle of energy drink in one go.

anjoworldthemepark-minglanillacebu-12
anjoworldthemepark-minglanillacebu-18

It makes you giddy, hyped, nervous and a little bit crazy. Considering there are 12 rides plus Snow World Cebu that you’re about to try out, I’m thinking it’s very understandable and normal.

Anjo World Theme Park truly is a wonder to behold, with its 200-ft high Ferris Wheel, the enormous and sky high rides, everything is massive and full of colors.

What makes it more magical is although there’s fear and doubts, but the deafening shouts, screams and laughter heard all over the place is proof enough that everyone is having the time of their lives.

As the largest theme park in the Visayas. It certainly didn’t disappoint when it comes to its extreme rides because I’m telling you they are not for the faint hearted.

Top on the list would be the “Boomerang” with you being strapped on a circle and you’d be swinging and the circle of course would also be turning, not really a fan.

There’s also the silent killer “Vikings” because it looks okay but try it and you shall see why everyone saves this for the last.

They also have the one of a kind 4-seater spinning roller coaster “Pharaoh”, the Tower Drop, and a whole lot more.

Here are some more photos during our visit at Anjo World Theme Park:

Snow World Cebu

At Anjo World, you can also experience the magical wonderland of snow atCebu’s first ever, world-class Ice Theme Park, the Snow World Cebu.

Chicken proven cebu

When it comes to street food, Filipinos have no shortage of coming up with them.

Isaw, kwek-kwek, tempura, and many more, are certified taktak-pinoy that all of us seem to love. But there is one relatively new street food that has probably become everyone’s favorite as well – the chicken proven.

Chicken proven cebu (1)

Chicken proven is essentially from the proventriculus of a chicken. Yes, you’ve read it right proventriculus, thus the name “proven”.

This part of the chicken is located in its digestive system, near its gizzard and liver. It is usually marinated with spices first, then dipped in cornstarch or flour and finally, deep fried in cooking oil.

It is usually eaten with its tasty sauce, both spicy and sweet, or vinegar, then partnered with some poso or hanging rice. It is a very common street food and are usually bought from food stalls.

It’s also quite a lifesaver to students and employees alike during tingbits season, because of its affordable price. Chicken proven stalls are all over the town, that’s why it remains really popular to everyone.

So, what are you waiting for? Satisfy your proven cravings with this tasty and phenomenal street food and surely, you’ll want more after that first bite!
