If you are someone who likes to party and wants to be a part of something big and significant, we strongly suggest you join one of the Philippine’s grandest festivals, the Sinulog Festival in Cebu City. 

Though Sinulog falls this January 2020, it is recommended to book your flights and accommodations ahead as there will be millions of people, tourists and locals alike, attending this event. Hence, most hotels are reported to be full by the last quarter of this year.

THINGS TO CONSIDER FOR YOUR ACCOMMODATION:

  • Pick an accommodation that is near the parade (Capitol, Ayala Center, SM City, Fuente Osmeña, just to name a few) so you get to witness the parade firsthand.
  • Pick an accommodation that is a walk away from the Basilica Menore del Santo Niño for convenience when attending mass and lighting of candles.
  • Pick an accommodation that offers free toiletries because groceries are jampacked and you wouldn’t want to join the chaos.
  • Pick an accommodation that has nearby restaurants because a full stomach allows you to go a long way.
  • Pick an accommodation that is comfortable because you need to rest after that long and tiring day.

Akita Japanese Restaurant first opened in 2016 only specializing in ramen.  They were famous for their miso ramen, which was tagged by critics as the best miso ramen in Cebu. This was enough for Japanese food enthusiasts to flock into this restaurant.

Miroscoffee Cebu City

Coffees parlors and cafes are sprawling around the metro like mushrooms. Different themes and styles have come to fruition but Microscoffee is undeniably a new and unique addition to the coffee shop craze. A cafe that is like a window to your old chemistry laboratory.

Microscoffee is a word play of two words we became curious growing up: microscope and coffee.

The cafe is consistent in presenting a laboratory-like experience, minus the boring lectures, of course. With flasks filled with coffee beans and other lab apparatus on display, from the atmosphere down to the menu, the cafe has caught sight of that unique fusion of hip and geek.

Microscoffee splurges its customers with scrumptious delights that are also camera-ready: blended beverages served in beakers, milk tea in Erlenmeyer flasks and many other dishes waiting to up your food photography skills.
