Cebu is known for many things: rich culture, amazing & friendly people, vibrant feasts, irresistible local food, and beautiful attractions. But more than anything else, one thing that usually first comes to mind when Cebu is mentioned — beaches.
While Cebu has so many popular beaches, there’s this newly discovered public white beach that trended on social media lately. This is the Maravilla White Beach in Tabuelan, which offers an escape not just from the city life, but also from the noise and crowds of the usual getaway destinations.
The best part? There’s no entrance fee for now (though there are some resorts or entry points that will charge a small fee).
It’s basically a public beach — like the ones in Moalboal (Basdaku) and Badian (Lambug) where you can freely enjoy the pristine white beach under the heat of the sun and even go “beach camping”. All at no cost, but with one rule: LEAVE NO TRACE.
If you plan to stay overnight and want to have a more comfortable sleep, there are several affordable beachfront resorts including:
1. Therrish Beach Resort

I’ve been hearing a lot of stories and invitations to try this famous “Tuslob Buwa”. At first, I refused to give it a shot for sanitation reasons. But I changed my mind after tasting just one dip. It was indeed a different taste of bubbles.
Tuslob Buwa is one of the many striking food you can find in the streets of Cebu. It is believed to originate in Brgy. Pasil where residents find it as their daily source of income. And it is where I had my first Tuslob Buwa experience.
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.
You must have heard about stores that offer Tuslob Buwa where you can enjoy it yourself or with people you know and “trust”. And where’s best to try it than AZUL in Cebu City?
Azul is now making a name on this industry, most especially after getting featured on Netflix’s Street Food Asia. They provide you your own set in preparation for the cooking, with guidelines on how to cook on your own. But if you don’t know how to cook Tuslob Buwa, just ask for assistance from the staff.
Tuslob Buwa Rates:
1 Set with 12-pc Puso (hanging rice)
Regular: ₱150
Special: ₱180 with chicharon bits, egg, roasted garlic
Open 24/7 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week), Azul is located along Gorordo Ave, Cebu City — few meters away from Golden Peak Hotel, before CIC.
With that, you might consider including this bubble experience in your to-do list when you’re in Cebu. So as for me and my taste buds, Tuslob Buwa is good. Dip in!
Exact location: Taft Business Center, Gorordo Ave, Cebu City.
BY JEEPNEY: Ride any jeepney going to Gorordo Ave or Lahug. Inform the driver to drop you off at “Azul Tuslob Buwa” near UP Lahug Campus. These are the jeepneys that will pass through Azul: – 04C from Colon via Ramos – 04I from Colon via Jones
BY CAR / GRAB: Just navigate via Waze or Google Maps and pin your location to “Azul Gorordo”. Ample parking space is available.

1. Virtual World Cebu
The future of gaming is
here! Virtual reality (VR) gaming at Virtual World Cebu is that
upgrade we’ve all been waiting for.
Experience being inside a game and living that game. It’s never been this fun and exhilarating! Imagine the setting of “Tron” and the storyline of ” Jumanji”, that is what the Virtual World offers.
“I volunteer as tribute!” as what Katniss Everdeen would say
from the very famous book (and movie) The Hunger Games.
Wild Bow Archery is the very first indoor archery range in Cebu. Their equipment is 100% legit – this means, their bow and arrows are authentic and are ordered from their suppliers abroad.
There are two points to remember before you go skating: perfect fit and balance. “Perfect fit” refers to boots that fits exactly to your feet so you won’t fall off easily. “Balance” is something you naturally have and if not, you’ve got to practice.
Enjoy the countless falling downs and chilly feet at the Ice Skating World.
That is how we want our food to be served. The kind that
burns with its hotness and fills the air with its flavor. Sizzling City serves your
favorite Filipino dishes sizzling hot and grilled.
The best thing about this resto is it comes with:

enough to fit the whole family and the whole neighborhood.

It’s September
now and as expected, it’s a rainy month. It’s a season that can easily shift
one’s moods and daily plans. Many have different ways of coping with the
season, but for me, personally, one good way is treating yourself with a good
bowl of ramen.
It is true, that most Cebuanos have acquired a taste when it comes to ramen. This Japanese dish has captured the Cebuano palate as various ramen shops have been popping in the area in the past few years. Here are the top 6 ramen shops in Cebu.
1. Ramen Yushoken
Ramen Yushoken is always on the critics’ list when it comes to the
top ramen shops here in the city. The reason for that is that Koji Tashiro, a
ramen champion where his recipe was the main basis for this restaurant’s
flavorful ramen making it a topnotch choice.
A little history in the shop’s name, ‘yusho’ translates to
‘champion’ while ‘ken’ is Japanese for ‘house’.
Location: Oakridge Business Park, AS Fortuna, Mandaue City, Cebu
2. Hamakaze Dining and Bar
For those who are still planning to try ramen for the first time, Hamakaze Ramen is perfect since it offers a good selection of ramen dishes. They serve traditional ramen and at the same time, their prices are reasonably affordable.
Location: AS Fortuna, Mandaue City, Cebu — across Lightsite Parc / The Space.
Tori Paitan Syo-Yu Ramen – 290

3. Rai Rai Ken
This authentic ramen house is considered as one of the oldest here
in the city, as they opened shop in 1993. Having existed for more than two
decades, this proves that they are definitely one of the best ramen stores
around.
Tongara basically derived their name by combining tonkotsu (pork bone broth) and torigara (chicken bone broth). The two are actually their main secrets in serving delicious ramens, as patrons keep coming back for more.
Location: Escario Central, N. Escario Street, Capitol Site, Cebu City
5. Barikata Ramen Bar
Hardcore ramen fans are quite picky, that is why Barikata Ramen Bar
is perfect for them. By definition, ‘barikata’ is a Japanese word used to refer
the type of noodles used in the ramen being served, and translates to ‘very
hard’. Barikata is very particular when it comes to their ingredients as well,
only serving with the freshest ingredients.
Craving for Shabu-shabu and Barbecue? You are often presented to choose
between these two – but this time, Tong Yang Plus gives you the best of both as
they offer both scrumptious dishes for you to enjoy.
Tong Yang Plus became popular as the country’s biggest barbecue and shabu-shabu chain, offering a buffet style of these prominent dishes. Munch as many barbecue and shabu-shabu as you want and eat your heart out.
It is also a gastronomic adventure. Like their concept of fusion, Tong Yang Plus allows you to mix and add your favourites to your own shabu-shabu bowl. You can choose a soup base, a selection of ingredients from the wide array of meats, vegetables and noodles
These are best enjoyed with friends and loved ones as you take a bite with tons of the grilling options – lean cuts of pork, chicken, beef, seafood, sausages, offal and many more.
Other than
barbecue and shabu-shabu, Tong Yang also offers short orders such as Japanese
Tempura, dimsum and sushi rolls.
Of course, desserts. With a dedicated dessert station, your sweet tooth craving will ultimately be fulfilled with the kakanin, cakes, mousse and even the halo-halo.

Challenge yourself to this interesting mountain in Brgy. Legaspi, Alegria, Cebu. The Mt. Lanaya highland is hailed as the most difficult to trek according to many mountaineers because of its steep slope and landfill pattern naturally possessed by the valley.
Mt. Lanaya is around 700 meters above sea level to the point that the panoramic view of the vast ocean and the mountains of Negros Province can be effortlessly observed.
Marc Jonell GarciaCla LimbagaCla Limbaga
There are two trails you can take if you want to reach Mt. Lanaya. First is the Lumpan trail which is approximately a two-hour trek depending on your pace. The other is the Legaspi trail which is approximately a four-hour trek.
One view from Mt. Lanaya looks similar to a popular wallpaper on Windows XP (and old operating system). It can be visually spotted at the foot of Mt. Lanaya and it will take only about 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your pace.
