Shamrock Bakery and Restaurant

If you are looking for a place to buy some pasalubong (souvenirs) here in Cebu especially if you are looking for some delicacies, I would recommend visiting Shamrock Bakery and Restaurant. There are about 5 different branches here in Cebu wherein you can buy some of their pasalubong goodies.

Plus if you are planning to have a vacation here in the Queen City of the South,  they also have a pension house with affordable rates. No need to worry about where to eat too because they also have a restaurant which serves meals in affordable prices.

Last night, we headed to Shamrock located in Fuente Osmeña's Circle. This is also the place where the pension house is located. We ate our dinner there but too bad, I was not able to take a picture of the food that we ordered. Anyways, we ordered their barbeque meal which costs Php 60.00 inclusive of three barbeque sticks, one rice and a glass of iced tea. The combo was great plus the barbeques are bigger compared to other barbeques.

Here's a sneak peek of the prices:

Shamrock has been one of the leading pasalubong centers here in Cebu. Whenever I visit my hometown in the south, buses make their stop over in Shamrock Barili. I usually buy some of their bread and munch on my way. :D

Manggahan

Hello world! It's almost a month since my last blog post. Guess I'm a little busy these days. Anyways, I am back and I'd like to share my food trip last weekend. ;)

After a long tiring day at work, the best thing to do aside from relaxing is ----> eating! All day talking sure makes you tired so after work, Jera, Cherry and I decided to eat out somewhere. Jera suggested Manggahan which is located near Pino Restaurant in Lahug.

Manggahan has opened it's door way back the year 2013 and this is going to be my first time to try the place. I have heard good reviews about the place and I was really curious why they called it Manggahan. haha For your information, manggahan in our dialect means an area with a lot of mango trees, thus the name.

The facade of the place is good, simple yet very inviting. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by their staff. We were then given the menu. This was not Jera and Cherry's first time to eat here, so they were the ones who ordered for the three of us. haha

Here's our orders:
(p.s. I forgot to take note of the names of the dishes >.<)

• Platter of Hipon Rice 

One should definitely give this a try. Hipon is not only good for pairing with green mango, it's also a good combo with rice!

• Monggos (Mung Beans Soup)

I personally don't like to eat monggos due to some health complications (ehem2x, if you know what I mean. haha) But I gave it a try and it was just okay.. the normal taste of monggos. :P

• Pancit Canton (noodles)

Nothing beats pancit canton! Be it for snacks or viand. 

 •  Pork Barbeque 

This is definitely a hit for most of the people. Enjoy a stick or two of this pork barbeque dipped in your favorite sauce (sawsawan).

• Chopsuey

A healthy choice consisting of various vegetables and meat.

•  Mixed Juice

Mixed oranges, watermelon, calamansi- to thirst your quench!

The food was great! We even had a hard time eating all of it so we ended up bringing home some of the food.

30 Wilson St., Lahug, Cebu City
