Full Worm Moon visible in Cebu tonight, March 9

To the selenophiles, we’ve got great news for you!

The full worm moon, the first supermoon of 2020, has got to be one of the largest and brightest occurring this year. The super moon is expected to be at its best form at 1:48 AM on Tuesday, March 10. It starts at 5:30PM of March 9, 2020.

According to the study, a supermoon occurs when the full moon is closest to the Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear brighter and larger than the normal.

Much more than this weekend’s super snow moon, expect more of these on April and May.

5 Places for your Tuslob Buwa cravings

Exotic – something out of the ordinary, seemingly unusual, even bizarre but when you say exotic food, Cebuanos have a fair share of exotic dishes.

One of these is a definite must-try– “tuslob buwa”.

Tuslob buwa is a delicious dish made out of pig’s brain, pork liver or pork intestines. To add flavor to this exciting food, you must spice it with other seasonings, oil, onions and soy sauce. It was popularized in Brgy. Pasil and Brgy. Ermita, but currently it has sprung up like mushrooms.

So if you’re a Cebuano or just a curious food junkie, this list is, without question, one for you.

1. TUSLOB BUWA SA PASIL

Pasil is indeed the birth place of tuslob buwa. During the weekdays, students flock the tuslob buwa kiosks and in the weekends, everyone enjoys the food stands in the strip.

More or less, the whole place is filled with delicious and varied array of this exotic dish, many of which are already pre-made waiting for you to dip in the scrumptious bubbles or you can just cook it yourself.


  • Emman Vipinoso Barwado

2. AZUL TUSLOB BUWA

Even after the popularity of Tuslob Buwa, Azul’s Tuslob Buwa is the first and only food place that explores the possibility of turning this dish to a mainstream resto bar. In Azul’s, you’ll be able to enjoy a generous serving of the dish to be cook all by yourself. What an experience, right?

  • Price:
    • PHP250 for 2 people
    • PHP50  for a pint of beer
  • Opening hours: 24/7
  • Location: Gorordo Avenue, Kamputhaw, Cebu City
  • tuslobbuwa-azulcebu-1
  • tuslobbuwa-azulcebu-11

3. FREE TUSLOB BUWA SA PARDO

Apart from the strip in Pasil, tuslob buwa explores its way to the south of the city – in Pardo. Unlike the one’s in Pasil, the distinct flavor of Pardo’s tuslob buwa stands out.

To compare, Pardo’s tuslob buwa is a hybrid of the ones in Pasil since its roots come from Pasil. What’s more to enjoy is that it’s FREE. You’ll only pay for your puso or hanging rice and the rest of tuslob buwa is for you to enjoy.

4. Tuslob Buwa at The Grid

The Grid, a known food park in Talamban, also houses a Tuslob Buwa store that offers the same, distinct taste as the original in Pasil. They also offer other local street food like ngohiong, siomai, ginabot, among others.

  • Operating hours: 7AM, but some food stalls open at 11AM, until 2-3AM (the next day) daily
  • Contact number: 0917-150-0770
  • Exact location: The Grid, Nasipit, Talamban, Cebu City – few meters away from USC-TC.

Almost all favorite Filipino street food can be found here at the newest “mini” food park at Ayala Center Cebu, including the well-loved Tuslob Buwa.

  • Opening hours: 12NN to 12MN daily
  • Location: Ayala Center Cebu (near Krispy Kreme entrance)

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

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!
