    Since I arrived in Cebu from Chicago last October, I have been searching for Filipino food that…read moreresembled the taste, aroma and quality as I remembered it to be in my younger days before I left the country. This place gave me that eureka moment! They even prepared food the way I like it. They have boodle packages for larger groups. We came just before noon so we got undivided attention from our server who was very friendly and helpful. The place was packed within minutes, but the place is huge with lots of room for social distancing. Pictures speak a thousand words, but sometimes, they don't do justice.

    Came here for lunch while in cebu and wondering the halls of the mall. This place was highly…read morerecommended as a good sharing type of meal where its better to eat with your hands. So we ordered a Mt. Apo boodle for the 7 of us. The food came out quickly and it was a site to behold (see accompanying pictures)!!! It was a massive plate of garlic rice, fish, meats, etc and soup in a coconut shell. The food was more than enough for all of us. And it was really flavorful and delicious too. All the food lent to each other and accompanied each other. We also had a whole chicken which was moist and delicious as well. The unlimited ice tea was good and refreshing especially while eating all these hot fried foods. Service was fast. The people were nice and attentive to our needs. Im sure if i ate with my hands it wouldve been even more of an experience!! Overall this place left me full and satisfied!!! It is a must try when in cebu!!

    It all started on Netflix's Asian food documentary. Jotted down on my long juander list to…read moreeat/visit finally I was able to experience the seafood feast here. Situated in Cordova at Barangay Buagsong lies the infamous "bakasihan" who founded by Tatay Entoy. He's the father of "bakasihan eatery ". From Cebu City, we travelled 51mins. via single motorcycle. And I'm telling you, better pat sunscreen coz the heat from the sun is too much. LoL. T'was almost 2pm and the place is still packed with patrons eating in big groups. Crowded yet we still manage to find a table to dine-in. FOOD. "Nilarang na Bakasi" (tiger reef-eel stew) - tasty & a bit of savory side. It is made in a spicy and sour coconut milk-based broth with garlic, red onions, tomatoes, fermented black beans, chilis & sour fruits. T'was indeed a steal when visiting Cordova! Fried Bakasi - crispylicious fried fish which you can easily eat its bone. Taste better when dipped on sauce (combination of soy sauce, vinegar/calamansi & chili). Saang - they steamed it and the saltiness from the ocean make it a great sign that t'was freshly caught. Imbao Soup - one of Cebu's delicacy that's also rampant in Cordova. The soup is so hearty the moment you slurp it. It has its own distinctive sweet taste that even without any seasoning, it's sure taste yummy. Imbao meat is a little bit gooey especially if it's a lil bit large. Lato "sea grapes" - is fresh as well but they really don't clean it thoroughly. Still a must when feasting seafood. Don't forget dipping it on a vinegar. Ginisang Octopus - t'was good! Savory and every bite is delicious. Meat is perfectly cooked and not really gooey. They make it a bit spicy which add kicks to it. Takeout: Ginisang shrimp - t'was perfectly cooked and the saltiness balanced to its sweetness. It also has its nice texture to it. Halang-Halang in the form of seashells meat (don't know what kind of seashell is it) is the perfect "pulutan" for people chillin' with beer. Spicy and undeniably Onolicious! Our juander Cordova seafood feast is both filling and economical. For $17.50 t'was one of the best seafood mukbang I ever tasted. With a panoramic view of the ocean's vastness you'll truly enjoy the oldest and most popular eatery serving bakasi in town. Customer service is superb. They were so helpful and friendly. They put that welcoming smile that even though they were tired they still able to show their welcoming aura. Indeed a must visit eatery when you visit Cebu City. Don't expect a luxury style of service, you can't find it here. Know that this is a homestyle eatery that will bound to feel you at home. Mahalo for reading and happy juandering fellow yeeps!

    Located street side with an open air concept, this is the first ever Bucket Shrimps location. This…read moreoriginal location is located in what used to be the owner's grandma's parking lot. Bucket Shrimps offers a cajun flavour which has been fine tuned to Filipino taste buds. It is a bit sweeter and absolutely bowl licking tasty. It can be spicy or non-spicy. There is also garlic butter flavour. As the name suggests, they offer buckets of shrimps. But it does not end there, you can get crab, mussels, bbq pork, liempo as well. So you can get both seafood and grilled pork items. Eat this with rice. There may be more on the menu, but we stuck to the above. The concept is similar to restaurants offering cajun seafood boiled in plastic bags, but instead of serving the food in boiled plastic bags (which I have to admit is rather unappetizing), this place serves them in appetizing looking buckets :). There are no utensils provided, they give you gloves. There are no plates provided, you just put the food straight on the plastic table cover. You can order beer here as well. Everything was scrumptious and the location is just so unique for North American Standards, like an old school carinderia street food, with no quality being compromised. Kamayan style, street food style, this place is really a different and fun dining experience!!! Note: there may be kids who may come in and ask you to buy their items. This might take away from the tranquility of eating your food in peace.

    Each and every dish is absolutely delicious. I loved those in Cajun sauce the most. It is ideal for…read moreanyone who has a taste for high-quality, reasonably priced seafood. The location's amazing because it's in the heart of the city. I wish there were more branches, though.
