I Love Cebu | Welcome to CEBU

I happen to realize that my site doesn't tackle yet the very province I born --- Cebu. Well then, allow me to tell you things about Cebu...

                    
Zubu, the original name for Cebu. Cebu was already an important port and crossroad for trade many centuries before the birth of Ferdinand Magellan. In fact, for more than a millennium before his birth, Cebu's sheltered harbor served as a hub for travelers and merchants from exotic and far-off foreign lands. However, when Magellan landed on the island in April 1521, he quickly decided that Cebu's central location and balmy weather made it an ideal base.

While Cebu's first European visitor did not leave with happy memories --- being as he was killed in skirmish with Chieftain Lapu-lapu --- nowadays, things have changed considerably. The island's friendly people and host of attractions, natural man-made, modern and ancient, make Cebu stand out as one of the most popular destinations in the archipelago.


Situated in the protected middle of the Philippine archipelago; Cebu's location ensures a relatively dry climate, making the surrounding seas clear, calm and diveable. Cebu boasts some of the best dive locations and dive resorts. One of the most exciting aspects of diving around Cebu is the many different dive types that can be experienced. Some areas are famous for the thresher sharks, manta rays and the extremely popular gargantuan whale sharks. Dive sites have fantastic coral gardens, sleep overhanging walls and cliffs, all teeming with a myriad of colored reef fish.


An ideal location for nature lovers and adventure seekers, Cebu provides a host of treks through deep green jungles, alongside crystal-clear rivers and foaming waterfalls. Trekking isn't the only way adventure seekers can experience Cebu, one can also go for mountain biking, horseback riding and golfing. 



World-class beach resort with international standard accommodations and amenities dot the nearby island of Mactan. Lovers of sea breeze, white sand and qua sports such as scuba diving, jet skiing, snorkeling, windsurfing, water skiing can make their choices. Lovely beach resorts can also be found at the lovely seaside towns.






So for a wonderful experience just visit my beloved province --- CEBU. Everybody is free to come!!!

Snowballs - Cold or Hot?

No, they aren’t made of snow. It’s not even related to the snow cone.


        This creamy treat is just like ice cream coated with coconut shavings and bread crumbs. The treat is round and fits your hand perfectly when you cup it. Although this snack is frozen cold at first, it is served hot. Am I confusing you?

        Before serving, the Snowball is heated in the oven for a couple of minutes. Mind you, the ice cream doesn’t melt! When you start to take a morsel of it, the creamy and luscious texture on the inside will startle you for sure (especially if you are a first timer like me). You wouldn’t expect it even if you’ve already known about it. Just be careful not to stain your shirt though. The Snowball can get out of shape the moment you take a bit. This treat also comes in mango, chocolate, pandan, vanilla, strawberry and ube.




        So go out and try this treat... ^_^

Waffle Foldover | Pancake House

This is certainly the food for the Gods!


        This Pancake House specialty is huge, delicious and certainly mouth-watering just by the look of it. It is made of two scoops of vanilla ice cream, peanut butter, choco bites and nuts, enclosed in a golden brown waffle.

        The peanut butter on the inside, blended with the vanilla ice cream made the dessert more flavourful and appetizing. The ice cream added softness to the tongue but it also made the sweet course heavy to the stomach. The choco bites added sweetness to the treat while the nuts gave a crunchier texture. The whole thing may be a pain in my pocket, so I don’t ask how much it costs…hehehe…


I recommend this for those people who didn’t get enough of their main course. In all honesty, the Waffle Foldover is enough to satiate you to satisfaction.
