Okay Cebu… I think I just found your next food obsession 👀

Imagine a sandwich + onigiri concept in one bite 🥪🍙

The flavors, the balance, the simplicity. It’s giving Japan in Cebu fr and they have matcha too!

It’s not meant to be a super heavy meal. It’s the perfect little snack when you want something flavorful, satisfying, and easy to eat on the go.

GRAB THE SUKIYAKI ONE.

999999/10. Would absolutely get again.

seriously DON’T WALK. RUN TO THIS SANDO CAFE!

You don’t realize how privileged you are if you live in Cebu.

Like, what do you mean you can randomly book a trip to some of the Philippines’ best destinations?

Palawan — 1 hour & 30 mins
Siargao — 1 hour
Boracay — 1 hour

And that’s not even counting all the international destinations you can fly to directly from Cebu.

I’ve only lived here for a year, but every time I pass by CCLEX or get a glimpse of it, I still stop and think about how insane this view and this location is.

We really have it good here.

Cebu really is one hell of a place to call home 🥹🤍

A 24-HOUR coffee shop right in front of Radisson Blu… if you’re looking for somewhere to chill at any hour, here you go.

I’ve been coming here since early this year, and honestly, it’s such a good spot for late-night chika & random 2AM coffee runs.

You HAVE to try the Sea Salt Latte! It’s a little sweet, so I recommend asking them to tone down the sugar.

Save this for your next 2AM coffee craving 👀

53% of Gen Z drinkers have taken a break from alcohol 👀

More than 1 in 2.

And then I saw this.

A weekend. 11 p.m. Cebu City.

Maybe we really are changing the way we spend our nights.

I love what this says about how Gen Z is redefining a good night out. You don’t need alcohol to connect, have fun, and make memories✨

Rainy season = hot pot season 🍲

Found one of the best hot pots in Cebu, and it was worth every cent 🤌🏻

If you're looking for an authentic Chongqing hot pot experience, this is exactly what you need for the cold weather. The dipping sauces were immaculate.

My recommendation? Go for the bone broth + spicy broth combo. You can thank me later 🌶️🍲

This is probably the country I’ll never visit again… and I know this is going to offend a lot of people.

I know this won’t be everyone’s opinion, but this was my experience.

Singapore is probably the one country I don’t see myself visiting again.

It was also the first place where I personally experienced racism, and that really affected how I viewed the trip. Maybe others have had completely different experiences, but that’s what happened to me.

Aside from that, I found it incredibly clean, efficient, and organized…which I can definitely appreciate. But as a tourist, it honestly felt like a cleaner, more polished version of BGC. After a while, I felt like there wasn’t much for me to do, especially considering how expensive everything was.

Now, where Singapore absolutely deserves the hype is the food. The Hainanese chicken rice? Easily one of the highlights of my trip.

Travel is subjective, and not every destination is for everyone. This one just wasn’t for me.

Have you been to Singapore? Did you love it, or did you leave feeling the same way? I’d genuinely love to hear your experience.

Flying to Cebu soon? Read this first ✈️👇🏻

Cebu offers the best of both worlds. Beautiful beaches by day and vibrant city experiences by night, without breaking the bank.

One place you shouldn’t skip? Nustar.

Think luxury shopping, great restaurants, and beautiful views all in one place.

While you’re there, dine at Umisho for authentic Japanese cuisine.

🍣 Fresh Japanese dishes
🔥 Hibachi experience available
🍺 Wide selection of Japanese beers & sake
🍰 And yes… everyone keeps talking about the matcha cheesecake.

Pro tip: If you’re planning to visit the Sky Deck, consider dining at Umisho instead. You’ll still get beautiful panoramic views of CCLEX and Cebu City’s lights while savoring authentic Japanese cuisine.

If it’s your first time visiting Cebu or you’re back for your third trip, this is one Cebu experience that’s worth adding to your list.

Have you been to Nustar? What’s your go-to spot? 😏
