Each of the dishes at Manang Juling's Kilawan is very affordable. But when you order three different ones and you are dining alone, that is another story.

But what I really celebrate about Tagala is their consistency. The breast that I had that afternoon was remarkably juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, just like the many, many other thigh parts I've been ordering here. It has always been cooked in this manner ever since, maybe even way back to the time when it first opened between 1999 and 2000.

The original plan that evening was to do a quick jog right after I pick up my 3-kilo takeway at Tatang's Boneless Lechon, my favorite guilty pleasure tucked in an unassuming corner in Lahug in Cebu.

I imagine there will be hyperactive kids running around the place beautifully competing with the acoustic band and the carolers by then. But that's OK really. It's Christmas after all and that's reason enough for all the jolly, good cheer.

We came for the sutukil - sugba (grilled), tuwa (clear broth) and kilaw (ceviche). This timeless trinity of Cebuano comfort food could represent anything that's delicious and good and right in the universe.

Sushisake presents itself as a worthy alternative to the handful of Japanese restaurants in the city. Here you can be assured that every maki, be it the usual California or the Dynamite, is freshly made to order and with superior local and imported produce as well.

Providore Cebu is not just Summit Galleria Cebu's default breakfast facility. Its very own logo promises that it is more than that.

I've never been to that upscale neighborhood or NY for that matter, but I imagine that the restaurant is influenced by the NY foodscene in certain respects - a diverse menu, brick-laden walls, open kitchen and eager crews clad in hipsteresque flat caps and aprons.
